Which country are these HitBTC scammers really based in?

As explained above here’s the non public ɢᴘꜱ coordinate of the office used once to twice a month by the primary team/directors −33.436483, −70.645214 650.5m above see level which tells you where to go in the building. That’s 6Km away from their stated representative office.

Though by law they are in Hong Kong (the other side of the ocean), but you’ll find only a lawyer managing hundreds shell company’s and a post box.

Thank you for your post.

I was asking if any users knew where they really were based.

Sure they use a mailing address to through people off the scent but keeping meta data from the images aside does anybody know which city they really operate out of or where the "team" reside?

If even John McAfee was caught by the police by leaving ɢᴘꜱ data inside a picture shot through an iPhone4s, why couldn’t Hitʙᴛᴄ does the same thing ? Notice how the business hours of the posts of Hitʙᴛᴄ match those from the country of the picture (which isn’t Hong Kong).
Though because of the consequences of the policies of the new president of the country, I doubt you’ll have the freedom to move safely once there (which might be the real problem) : security in the city is now managed directly by the army (no I’m not talking about Hong Kong just google the coordinates).

I suppose they work from Internet most the time and they meet only if needed (typical for companies renting coworking at least in my country). So their workplace is really based at the place of the picture.

I think they have legally secured the steps to only have Hong Kong as applicable law instead of their place of work, so the only thing legal you’ll be able to do is to ask an answer on your tickets if they don’t have answers like in my case while many of us have already responds from support which means they will get nothing by coming there.

About the servers, then I suppose that they are managed completely remotely which means there are no point at going to London to see them and the place were they are stored will definitely have wardens preventing you from coming.

I guess Hitbtc's business model is to charge 10x times higher withdrawal fees.

Still cheaper than Transferwise on large amounts though.

Who in the right mind to use it though when there are exchanges that charge lower withdrawal fees available.
Hitbtc will be still a trap where you can't withdraw your money, still waiting for my $20 withdraw lol

In my case, I couldn’t chose : bought tokens on a bankrupt exchange. Had to sell them on Hitʙᴛᴄ as they were no purchase orders on Etherdelta.

I already did this on Twitter and you replied that the problem has been resolved, but this is not true.

Dear Rabbot, the withdrawal functionality of your account is fully operational, and you should be able to withdraw any amount of funds that exceed the withdrawal fee.

Wasn’t believing this until they locked my account for the third time last week leaving my funds being locked. And that time no new reply to any support tickets whoever they are assigned to ! They locked 200Zcash worthing over $25,000 at that time without the ability to sell and of course, now they worth far much less (and which I still can’t withdraw).

The KYC process shouldn't take much time on a regular basis, ytrezq. Can you please provide us with your ticket number?  Thanks in advance.

I so much detest this exchange,  their customer service is nothing to write home about,  I misplaced my cellphone around May this year and I discovered that my account details with Hibtc has been compromised,  they didn't respond on time,  I just had to forget about having an account with them,

There is no way to withdraw funds, because the size withdrawal fee exceeds the size of the deposit, and trading is blocked. Can you specify for what reason?

Pathetic scammers. You keep posting here once in a while asking for support tickets but ignore users posting concerns here.

How many complaints have been made here? How many have you actually addressed? How many times have you popped back in here to post repetitive nonsense about support tickets?

People are waiting for HitBTC to pull their exit strategy because complaints are piling up.

I couldn't search up if it has been asked already, but what happens when I cancel my limit order. Do I still need to pay the taker's fee (which is 0.1%), I have selected Post-only, so no maker's fee there.
I had earlier placed an order, but due to current market conditions I want to update my price for the same.

No, you never pay any fee upon cancellation of your made order.

@ Raja_MBZ

I was about to reply to your post about the troll but sadly it was removed along with the original post from the troll  

Thank you for the kind words, I am going to carry on trying to bust scams here and there time permitting. Like you said I must be doing something right to rattle them

One of the shittiest exchanges in existence irrespective of the fact that isn't has lasted over 6 years, my account keeps getting logged into even after I have activated 2FA and changed my password several times, thankfully I didn't keep any funds in the exchange at the time, once had an issue with withdrawals and up till today, it has not bee resolved.

[NJB18]

One of the shittiest exchange in crypto but I wonder why they also remained high in volume. I am stunned that they still have a person in charge in btalk. But I can find problems in this thread and in other created threads that were not resolved until now.

I am not surprised they never acted upon the 2FA concerns because they are really a bunch of low-lifes that for some reason have still not implemented their exit strategy even though they have selective scammed on a mass scale.

[paramind22]

They keep delisting good coins and then charge a huge amount of the coins to withdraw the ones you have left.  That is theft, pure and simple.

They've delisted Bytecoin, AMP, Noah (41 Million market cap), etc.

Been wondering over this topic for quite some time now. If these exchanges are shitty and people are already taking out their money from them, why is their volume is still high? The only answer that I could come up is that these numbers are most probably made up. I mean, there's no way people still trade in these exchanges up until this moment, right? It will not surprise me if their "true" volume on the day to day basis is so low that they are not getting any profit from it anymore.

Hey HITBTC,

stop acting like scum and removing markets without notice.

Thanks.
