Is this the end of yobit, or will it continue running (like btc-e)?

Moscow police arrested the rumored founder of yobit, but the exchange is still online. There's no conclusive proof yet, only rumors.

The alleged leader of the cryptocurrency exchange called Yobit or at least someone who had a big share in it has been arrested in Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow. He is reportedly accused of establishing fraud financial schemes. His name is Pavel Krymov.

Sadly, there are very few direct proofs of his ownership of this exchange, only amateur investigations made by those who already suffered from the schemes of Mr. Krymov.

LOL.  I don't know if this is true or not, but it totally would not surprise me if it is.  They've always worked for me, but I've read so many complaints on bitcointalk about how lousy their service is and how they operate in a cloud of shadiness.  Are they actually based in Russia? 

One of the things that always bugged me about them was that their business was completely non-transparent, and they seem to keep it that way on purpose--who owns the exchange, and all the other information you'd expect from a company that handles your money.  So if this is indeed the end, I do hope people can get their funds off of Yobit and that it doesn't end up like a Cryptsy or Mt. Gox.

It's still up and running so it can't be a one man operation, unless it's on auto pilot. BTC-e just denied Vinnik was anything to do with it and carried on running after he got arrested. I'm wondering if yobit will follow in its footsteps.

Whatever happens I hope nobody loses coins held there.

Yobit was never an serious exchange in my opinion. Lot of scam ICO-s, bunch of worthless shitcoins and poor support. Most possibly that service will end just like Craptsy and other exchanges doing exit scam and blame hackers for that. I would not recommend to anyone sane to use that site. There is lot of better options and places to trade coins.

As The Pharmacist said, no concrete evidence that this person has indeed been involved in founding the yobit (scam) company, but for sure, it would not surprise me in the slightest if he was and had a ton of experience with MLM/ponzi/scams.

Not the first time that Russia has investigated yobit, either: https://cointelegraph.com/news/cryptocurrency-exchange-yobit-investigated-in-russia-on-fraud-claims.

Yobit's having a ton of issues to sort out, complaints of yobit are growing exponentially. Don't trust me? Go to scam accusations and see for yourself, I'd say probably 10-20% of all scam reports are of or relating to yobit. Also review sites that could potentially involve sockpuppets have terrible reviews for yobit.

Whether or not this allegation is actually true, doesn't matter. All we know right now is a known scammer being arrested. We can't confirm the link between him and yobit. But one thing is for sure - if you have BTC on yobit, no matter what, try to get it out and don't look back. You'll be lucky if you can do that at an early stage.

I genuinely hope anyone with funds in Yobit gets them out but it makes my day when karma/and or local law enforcement catches up with scammers.

Hopefully belgium authorities go after the scumbag behind this complete scam exchange:      https://crypto-tradingmarket.com

Another one scammer/fraudster bites the dust! Krymov already has a lot of financial pyramid scheme like Questra World and Forex Trend linked to him and perpetrating such acts while hiding in Europe. There is even a website Stopkrymov(in Russian language though) dedicated to combat Pavel Krymov and his fraudulent acts  Good thing the authorities finally arrested him.

Apparently he also operated a scam ICO (i think worldcore?) behind the scenes. So he's clearly experienced in scamming people and playing con artist games with people. If he was the founder of yobit even though that is up for speculation but there are some proofs being offered, then the scam here imo would be the yobit investbox. If it turned out to be an exit scam then investbox investors will get robbed, and then withdrawals will get halted.

This isn't good for yobit users.

Regardless of his true intentions/affiliation with yobit, with the support ignoring all tickets essentially and dysfunctional deposit/withdrawal system, it's hard to see why people still use them.

Huh, I was just saying to someone today that I wonder if their shitstorm of a spam campaign was still going on here and if they were even still in business. I guess now I can tell them the news lol! They won't be in business for very long! Thankfully Bitcointalk has made me very aware of their business and very aware that they don't give a shit at all. They were looking to make some quick and dirty money and I guess they must have. Doesn't matter in a Russian prison though!

If this is indeed true, folks who trade to Yobit should right away withdraw their money from it. Even though that the exchange is still online right now, we don't know what will happen in the coming hours and days after the arrest. This information may be false but I'm having an inkling feeling that this is true due tot he behavior of the exchange itself. This exchange is shady as f*ck with their support being non-existent at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it will be closed in the future.

I first heard about YoBit because that was the first signature campaign that I joined here. I registered for the site, simply because they paid via our YoBit balances. Remember the whole BigUp brigade a few years ago? I actually made out okay on it. It was a shitcoin with no vision, but I bought a couple million of 'em for one sat each, and I made a pretty decent ROI within a few weeks on that shitcoin.

I will say that I never took YoBit serious as an exchange. Why? First of all, dice. Currency exchange and a dice game on the dashboard/portal? Lol.

But, I will also say that I did lose a couple thousand dollars worth of crypto when I lost access to my account. I had 2FA enabled, and lost my phone. I, being a dumbass, was using Google Authenticator, and given that YoBit doesn't (or didn't at the time) show your secret key for 2FA, I lost access to my account. I was easily able to recover my Bittrex, Poloniex and even C-CEX (another shitxchange), but when it came to YoBit, they just completely stopped responding to my request. It has been 14 months now, and they still have not responded to my monthly emails. Fuck YoShit.

If you have holdings in YoBit, get it out. Not just because of this news, but because of how shitty they are. As @magneto said above, there are thousands of posts in Scam Accusations about YoBit. While a lot of them are just fueled by impatience, there are legitimate complaints and scams that have definitely happened. The only reason I never created an accusation myself is because there were so many open accusations against them at the time.

With all that said, I don't believe that Krymov owns YoBit, and I think that it will continue operating without him. Even more reason to gtfo. I hope if anyone from these forums takes anything away from this, it's that YoBit cannot be trusted. Be cautious.

I can't say I'm surprised. This would also explain very bad running of business that Yobit had. Still this doesn't have to mean that Yobit will stop existing, some new leader could overtake it or it could be sold.
Nevertheless I quit doing business with Yobit a long time ago because of very poor service they were providing and because of many scam accusations.

This made me check their website if it's still running and it is. The guy is involved with other fraud schemes and there is one existing scheme on yobit which called the "investbox". 
With all that said, I don't believe that Krymov owns YoBit, and I think that it will continue operating without him. Even more reason to gtfo. I hope if anyone from these forums takes anything away from this, it's that YoBit cannot be trusted. Be cautious.
I don't care whether he is the owner or not but I believe it is compose of a group and a single person that will gone out of share will not stop them from operating.

Same for me but I used to trade there before.

Luckily I only have few YOVI token there which I might never be able to exchange out if the platform will be shut down after this arrest. But I think this news is just a rumor and he might not have any association with yobit.

Yobit was never meant to be a serious exchange in the first place. It was clear from the very beginning that Yobit aimed at the noobs as being their main user target, and that later got more confirmed by having Yobit add all types of gimmick features to trap in even more noobs. It's nothing more than a money making machine for the operator behind Yobit. If you look at how insanely easy it is to get your shitcoin listed there, and how many coins have been listed throughout the years, I am sure that he made millions of dollars just from that aspect alone. In easy terms, the only winner is the operator behind Yobit, and everyone using Yobit is a loser by default. It's like playing Russian roulette with your crypto funds....

People who trading with common sense would avoid yobit once they have experienced to trade there , too much strange coins with overpriced listed there , too much suspicious services run there. I have experienced to wait my withdrawal pending more than 4 weeks, crazy and I leave them right after I received the funds.

I'm in 400,000 euros debt , dont help me , i rather die

Many thanks for warning. I will try to withdraw the majority of my funds there. As mentioned in many threads and posts here on forum, it is always better not to entrust the whole trading funds to just one exchanger. But although yobit is known for its bad support and suspicious schemes on investbox, I never had bad experiences there.
Update: Withdraw was nearly instant like all my previous withdrawals (mostly doge)

It certainly is.

I want to know if those "direct proofs" that was mentioned on that thread if it will be disclosed too. But the best thing to do now for someone that has big funds on their exchange better watch out and ready to withdraw your funds so if something bad happens, you're totally safe.

And the sad reality about them, even this arrest never existed they have the worst support.  Undecided

+7 being Russia’s country code I was tempted to think this might be them trying to quickly find a way to liquidate all those coins behind the countless unresolved tickets they are accused of ignoring:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3057451.0

But then again this mght be just another scammer posting delusional btc figures, hoping to filch 2k euros from the gullible here.

Never store your coins on any exchange wallet. It’s risky and fraught with uncertainty. A paper wallet, securely duplicated and kept in safe locations, is the safest cold storage wallet. Anything exposed online, even if secured with passwords and 2FA, is prone to theft and scams.

I will say that I never took YoBit serious as an exchange. Why? First of all, dice. Currency exchange and a dice game on the dashboard/portal? Lol.

Yobit was never meant to be a serious exchange in the first place. It was clear from the very beginning that Yobit aimed at the noobs as being their main user target, and that later got more confirmed by having Yobit add all types of gimmick features to trap in even more noobs. It's nothing more than a money making machine for the operator behind Yobit. If you look at how insanely easy it is to get your shitcoin listed there, and how many coins have been listed throughout the years, I am sure that he made millions of dollars just from that aspect alone. In easy terms, the only winner is the operator behind Yobit, and everyone using Yobit is a loser by default. It's like playing Russian roulette with your crypto funds....
Same thoughts on here which I have never tried to convinced myself that Yobit is a serious exchange from the very first place.This is why I'm not surprised if they would gone in an instant any time of the day and if this news is true then the owner do really deserve such thing to be arrested.Reading above more information about this guy it is already involve into some serious issues and now its payback time for all the bullshit that he have done. Following this thread for more serious proofs towards this.

But this is just reported as a rumor and it might not be true but i always find yobit as shady as always where there is a lot of complaints about of their services. If were them i would rather take away all of my coins on that exchanges, it is just about time before that exchanges will going to take down by the government.

Since this thread seems to be getting some attention, I'm going to post some of the topics posted about YoBit being a scam, so that more users are aware. Just as a reference, just because you haven't had any bad experiences with this exchange should not make it any more reputable or trustworthy. I truly believe that it is just a matter of time before the collapse of this exchange.

I could go on and on and on. But DYOR and don't become one of those unlucky people that gets targeted by this shitty exchange. I'm one of them, and I've still got thousands of dollars worth of crypto stuck in an account that I've been trying to access for over a year.

What happened to your account in where you are not able to access your funds?
As far as I know they don't have any verification process for their customers.

I'm still not able to access those funds, or my account for that matter, and the last message that I have from YoBit is from November 25, 2016. I've sent 8 replies since then, the last one being on June 9, 2017. I still have not received an reply, and I'm definitely not hopeful Roll Eyes

This won't surprise me one bit.
Accusations against yobit can fill volumes
Just look at list of stuck coins:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1499017.0

They have actually kept 10btc from a guy since Dec 17:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2718718.0

And they have scammed me as well:

A lot of accusation in yobit i think the transaction there is really not good idea still if you look in their site this is good so if someone copy there site or looks like yobit that's good they only need to be trusted with fast communication to every users not like yobit
Any clone copy of a certain exchange wont really be good even if it do looks yobit but do have different or much better service given it doesnt mean that it would be easily trusted.
People would just be curious if they are already experiencing problems. Rumor would still be a rumor because the site is still operating which means the owner or founder havent been arrested yet.

I've said that before and I will say it again:


Trading on yobit is like playing Russian Roulette; you never know when pulling the trigger (withdraw or deposit) will actually kill you (stuck transaction forever) but the more you play it, the more it's likely to happen.

Lol, is that true the owner of yobit got arrested? Well, no doubt on this I saw it many complaints regarding their services on how their exchange works. The transactions process was a too lousy freezing fund of the transaction on withdrawal the most issues. We better avoid this exchange site and find a better one.

Im not a russian but at least i have tried to make that youtube video to convert into english might not be accurate but atleast i do get some points which this is just a totally misleading video since theres no arrest or involvement but rather a report or news about those forex brokers or other companies which do involved into swindling.
