The Exchange cryptsy dies?

[lumeire]

Their services are not free, if that's what you mean.  You pay each time you make a trade, but I have no idea why they or any other exchange becomes insolvent.  You'd think that there's two sides to each trade and an exchanges function is to match buy and sell orders and not to take either side of the trade.  Am I totally ignorant??  

Probably this all started when they tried to expand into USD. You know, getting into that takes a lot of legal expenses and repercussions. Plus the digital Mintsy thing, I remember their service there was real bad.

hacked + investigated +  divorce

I think the claim from them about their cold storage getting hacked and theft is some made up story by them to get away with possible investigation.

Yeah i feel that's another lie of them. Like more lies they gave birth too.
Don't ever though this company would be so shady.

it started when big vern smelled money from the Paycoin scam. Guess he was lured into the scam game from that moment.

It's final now.
Very bad they ended an exchange like this.
Before they were my no.1 exchange for bitcoin and altcoin. Now they lost all my respect.

This has been going on since last November. Today they give us the final blow and inform all customers that they have stopped all trading, deposits and withdraws because of a spam attack. Strangelly, I have been able to go into my account and request a withdraw. Needless to say, this withdraw hasn't been confirmed yet.

It's been a long time, but it still sucks.
Taking losses of a force sale + huge withdrawal fee. But it seems we've lost our funds completely now.

The cryptsy is dying now. But it will go away with our money. Will it possible to sue the owner/operator and get our money back?

I  got this mail today, so yeah I guess it's over:

A divorce, investigation from the sec and now the 'Hack'

Hi, Cryptsy ceases its activities in the wake of the theft of most of Bitcoins from the COLD storage.

You can start a refund procedure at the link:
https://cryptsy-refund.com/

Please accept our apologies.

Cryptsy

According to their website, that link and email is a phising attempt. I hope you didn't fill out any important account information there..

Anybody who still held coins on their exchange after November just put their head into the sand.. It was clear from every angle you looked at it that they would go down or atleast face major problems. If you didn't take action at that time, unfortunately, you now have to deal with it.

You can withdraw some altcoin now from Cryptsy. But not the bitcoin.
