I have reasons to believe that CEX might be ripping it's users off....

OK, I have made this observation on the 24/04: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583292.msg6379806#msg6379806
when I saw that 3 blocks were missing from the GHash.io last blocks found (and paid) list.

Today I had also noticed quite a few blocks missing from the list so I did a little check for the pass 2 days and came up with the following:

On the 25th the following blocks are missing from GHash.io blocks list:

25/04   297552   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297552 
25/04   297603   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297603
25/04   297673   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297673
25/04   297692   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297692

For today (so far) there is more blocks missing:

26/04   297721   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297721
26/04   297770   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297770
26/04   297771   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297771
26/04   297777   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297777
26/04   297788   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297788
26/04   297789   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297789
26/04   297793   http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer/b/297793


and here is a pic of today's last blocks found by GHash.io



As you can see the blocks I mentioned above for today are missing from the list.
Now since all those blocks are missing from the blocks found list of GHash.io and obviously not paid I guess this makes it a rip off.....
unless I am missing something here....

What do you think?

PS:
Also, can a member of CEX verify my findings?
Just log in your account and check the last blocks list and check if my findings are correct.

A quick check of the first on your list (297552)  Shows Slush in the coinbase making it an orphan to ghash.

I believe these are probably all orphans that you are seeing

Those Ghash.io blocks used 1CjPR7Z5ZSyWk6WtXvSFgkptmpoi4UM9BC as the block reward address. But the blocks you posted are not.

So they are orphans like 4kthm2 said?

I am not sure how you compiled the list since I am not a GHash miner but I agree that if they show up somewhere on the GHash side then they are orphans on that end.  I checked more than half of them (just by block height) and they are all showing as being generated elsewhere.
