I particularly don't like to use a card to buy crypto, but being able to connect the bank account is a good option, so we can make the purchase without intermediaries. Despite the many complaints I still think that Polo has the best interface, simple and objective...

This is a good point, I noticed this tendency to happen almost in each exchange recently.
Although I use Indacoin for a long time to buy bitcoin with credit card, now there is another option for me to buy directly on exchange.

maybe with the change of the Polinex Exchange by adding apps to deposit and withdraw assets to a local bank it can give the attention of bitcoin traders

I have long joined poloniex in the exchange of digital assets. information like this really makes me happy because without having to use other parties from direct digital currency exchanges we can exchange it here and immediately easily withdraw.

Shit exchange delisted namecoin because it wouldn't dance the pump dance

They are still linked on https://bitcoinfoundation.org/developers/#_exchanges

What a joke.  Someone really should email them and get that link off.

Edit: I went ahead and emailed them.  The more of us that email... the more likely we are to protect people from becoming Poloniex victims unknowingly.

I thought for sure somebody would have noticed this, but I can't find any mention of it on the forum:

https://dbf.georgia.gov/press-releases/2019-03-19/department-enters-consent-order-tristan-d%E2%80%99agosta-julie-kim-and-michael

Tristan D'agosta, Julie Kim and Michael Demopoulos entered into a plea bargain with the Department of Banking and Finance in Georgia for running an unlicensed money transmitter business (i.e. Poloniex).

Tristan D'agosta, Julie Kim and Michael Demopoulos entered into a plea bargain with the Department of Banking and Finance in Georgia for running an unlicensed money transmitter business (i.e. Poloniex).

Just received this from polo:

"We are writing to inform you that Poloniex is spinning out from Circle into a new company called Polo Digital Assets, Ltd. This new company will have the full backing of a major Asian investment group, who intends to focus on the needs of global crypto traders.

Unfortunately, the Poloniex spin out will not include US customers, so Circle is winding down access to the Poloniex exchange for you and other US customers. Here is the wind down schedule:

October 18, 2019, US persons will no longer be able to create, or complete the set-up, of a new Poloniex account.

November 1, 2019, you will no longer be able to execute trades and should no longer deposit assets.

You will be able to access and withdraw your cryptocurrencies, through Circle until at least December 15, 2019.

The full announcement can be found here and our Customer Support Team is available to answer any questions you may have. Simply reply to this message and we will get back to you.

Team Poloniex"

So, that's it for Polo I suppose.

Poloniex isn't spinning out of Circle, Circle is running out of Poloniex because hell is raining down on them finally (thank god).

You can't declare your company is an MSB in 2015 and start imposing your own regulations/updating your own magical daily withdraw limits... However, only start to apply for licenses in 2018 and expect it actually to work out.

Poloniex is having a bad year in 2019.  I expect life is going to get significantly worse for Poloniex as well.

It started out with Tristian and his two associates getting nailed in Georgia:  https://dbf.georgia.gov/press-releases/2019-03-19/department-enters-consent-order-tristan-d%E2%80%99agosta-julie-kim-and-michael

Then Poloniex gets nailed in Ohio for a $100,000 fine. (Ohio's website is down this weekend)

Then Poloniex starts giving up all of its licenses:  https://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org/EntityDetails.aspx/COMPANY/1486722



I really hope the United States continues to pursue these bad characters and doesn't allow them to just pawn it off on some anon chinese shit.  Tristian likely belongs in prison, in my opinion, for 1-5 years (FED time, so 80%).

Poloniex https://support.poloniex.circle.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028483832 page still claims they have all these licenses... which they don't as indicated above.





Ah fuck it, I'll bite and open a support ticket!  It's fun kicking bad guys when they are down because they've treated their customers like such shit for years.





If Poloniex still continues to purposely misrepresents that they have USA Licenses on Monday, I'm going to begin my rounds of making phone calls/complaints with the proper state authorities.  I recommend others do the same on Monday if Poloniex leaves that page up. (the more that complain, the better our chance is... right now is time to sue and file complaints against this organization and put these bad characters out of their misery and out of the Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency industry.  If we need to file complaints on Monday, file them against CIRCLE.  Not Poloniex.  Circle isn't going to just be able to trick USA citizens all the way their November deadline without having repercussions.  For example, Georgia is a $500 a day fine for example and it seems Poloniex has been lying about its license in GA for months at this point!! Bastards man! )

Poloniex mod says that the "Chinese" company is retaining it's, American staff.  It's pretty obvious this sell to China is just a way of this company attempting to dodge the laws/United States investors they have violated and defrauded.  I doubt the DOJ and other departments investigating Poloniex AND Circle take kindly to this.

pistachio: @cryptologyx the team that is currently running polo now is staying

Hopefully, this clown learned his lesson about being lazy around Sharks.  I personally believe all of that whole CLAM situation would have been avoided if Poloniex (specifically James Seibel) would have taken 5 minutes to implement the fix that the CLAM team gave them for free.

James Seibel was specifically responsible for 1,800 BTC being lost, in my opinion.  I have opened a thread specifically for this individual:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194358.msg52814537#msg52814537

If anyone starts a action against them count me in.

I spent a week months ago trying to get in touch with the authorities about them only to get shuffled off to voicemails that never got returned and this isn't our department bullshit excuses. Goldmann Ballsacks is protected by the system.

File a complaint with your state's attorney general.

They told me to call Delaware Attorney Generals office which just started an infinite loop..

Here you go buddy:  https://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/fraud/cpu/complaint/

Fill all that shit out, mail it registered mail with delivery confirmation.

Keep in mind that you should fill with the AG in your state... not the companies state.

File one complaint against Poloniex and one complaint against Circle.  It's better too many complaints than too few!  The more complaints the state gets... the bigger of a deal it becomes.

Inspectors base their investigations on the number, substance and pattern of complaints. (postal inspectors, but it's the same deal)

[BayAreaCoins]

Poloniex has finally updated their State License page:



They did this several months after they actually lost their license(s).

I strongly suggest people file complaints against Circle as well.  Your complaint will hit the scammers harder by filing against Circle rather than exclusively Poloniex.

[fratoshi]

I added Poloniex to my list of scams, this systematic scam tactics to steal peoples coins needs to end, report Poloniex to authorities
