I just found out that withdrawel of crypto from C-cex is not possible from December 20th to Jan 20th. They claim the reason is vacation. They did not warn their users with email notification.
Does anyone believe that a business that is nomally open 24/ takes 1 month! vacation? I certainly don't.
Does anyone have info on this?

what the hell is this exchange! i knew it is bad but i never knew things are this bad. i mean an exchange needs to be open at any time, how many employees do they have, if any?
i think it is just one owner who does everything and now he wants to take some time off and not just a couple of days! a whole month off!

It means the exchange might close sooner,they should announce it before they take vacation.

They announced it 6 days prior.

But even then, it's weird. I mean much smaller exchanges didn't have to do anything like this.

Doesn't make sense at all. Has to be a lie. And they never sent email to the users about this. Only posted a tweet. No serious business would do this if everything was ok.

Thats the risk of using small exchanges,they will close it without any prior notice just like what happened right now.

I agree with you on that thing. What they did is really sketchy, if everything is fine, and since the deposit and withdrawal is fully automated (should) even they take 1year vacation they won't suspend withdrawal

It certainly doesn't seem to be a lie: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418700.msg26317123#msg26317123

But yeah, no email notification makes it that much more amateurish.

As i recall they do it yearly. but i can't remember if it's a 1 month vacation. They notify it on their tweeter and site if i am not mistaken that is why i withdraw all my coin before they take a vacation.
