yes TS has made some unpopular decisions that i would disagree with,
but i've never seen anything directly "scammy" from TS.
Well, you haven't been looking very hard because there's hundreds of complaints about them here, on Reddit, Twitter, across the internet and several in this thread. There's no less than 5 different Scam Accusation threads against them in this forum.
Their pattern of habitual deceptiveness is extremely clear.
The mass KYC-related thefts was just the tip of the iceberg. They screw their customers in a wide variety of ways, including (but not limited to) randomly upping withdrawal fees to absurd levels, suddenly deciding to delist coins and upping withdrawal minimums to huge amounts (knowing a significant portion of their customers didn't have the minimum balance required to withdrawal in their accounts). Then for customers who could withdrawal bitcoin, they used the absolute minimum transaction fees required to send the bitcoin. Like 1 sat/byte for a multi-output transaction. Their customer service was basically non-existent and there are hundreds of complaints of withdrawals not getting processed over the years.
This is a shit exchange and anybody who uses it has a strong chance of being selectively scammed.
I don't care about the welfare of shitcoin devs. They peddle shit for a living and I could care less about them. However, the people either greedy or naive enough to purchase their coins still don't deserve to be taken advantage of in the way that TS has.
