[2016-08-12] Mexico’s Third-Largest Bitcoin Exchange Goes Dark

[jdebunt]

What we can tell is how all of the user funds seems tp be accounted for, and withdrawals will be enabled shortly. Deposits will be resumed as well once the platform relaunches, albeit no dedicated time frame was mentioned to the public. Since there were no prior issues affecting the MeXBT platform, this news is rather shocking, to say the least.

Whatever happens to that exchange, don't think many people will be that upset as the majority of the people most likely have never heard of this exchange before.

This is not much of a news. Businesses do audit from time to time and .. yeah, did Mexico have that many BTC exchanges?

i think it will be affect for mexican people which use that exchanger and few people which known that exchanger too. if its just small exchanger and its local, i think its no different, because there always another market exchanger that will built and make people deposite to that new market exchanger.

All in all, this is another wake-up call for Bitcoin users who store funds in an exchange wallet. These platforms control all funds, and the user is at their mercy to receive and spend coins. Always move money out of an exchange wallet as soon as possible, to exert full control over your finances.
