Exchanges are having a hard time to deal with all the users they are getting. I'm not saying this justifies what happened, but I think they are a legit exchange, so your problem should be solved, since it doesn't look like a hack. The problem is that it will probably take a lot of time, like you said, because they just can't handle the huge number of users they have, and their support gets compromised. In the post you linked, everything was solved so I guess that everything will be ok in your case as well.
I'm keeping an eye on this thread, to see how things evolve. Please keep as updated, and good luck.
Thanks man!
I'll let you know if I can, but I also think it will take a long time.
This is becoming so common these days moreover no one can help because their is no regulation.
I'm really scared of that. Since I do not live in the US, I can not sue. If I were here in Brazil I would solve the matter with a lawsuit. I'll have to wait for everything to work out.
Yes. Please let us know if your problem resolved because I was considering if I want to use Poloniex or not. I'll decide after your problem.
I think it will take a lot of time to solve my problem, unfortunately, but I recommend that you do not store your btcs in Poloniex.
