Litigation with Binance - jurisdiction, regulators

[Azrieli]

The situation is quite simple, because of the actions of the exchange about 8 months ago was lost - a little more than 85,000 USDT. Trying to come to a pre-trial solution, but alas - unsubscribe "we do not guarantee, use the service at your own risk, You do not have to." All this begins to bother and the amount is large in General to leave as is.

Under what regulators is this "Binance-abyss", under what jurisdiction? Now a lawyer assures all apostilides and will begin mailing to regulators, to start with. There will be no effect, there is only one thing - to go to court. I will be glad to any advice, tips, any useful information.

If there are still "punished" by this casino - write, all exactly will carry out a number of activities on our issue, in parallel it will be possible to send your "stories-documents-complaints".

I think that Binance is Hong Kong based,I don't remember.
I don't understand what are you trying to say with your post.Are you scammed by binance?Do you want to sue them?Is this case connected with the recent Binance hack?

This has nothing to do with the recent hack where nobody actually money in there except Binance itself. OP is talking about an event that occurred about 8 months ago where someone lost 80,000 USDT. The details are not quite clear but as he stated there is no recourse but to go to court and the question is the jurisdiction of Binance. Isn't it already headquarter in Malta right now?

Binance was Hong Kong based, or at least their HQ were in Hong Kong. Now, they have moved their headquarters to Malta, an European country. Malta seems to be one of the several crypto friendly countries. I don't know for sure, but it looks to me Binance should be compliant with EU laws now.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I don't understand what are you trying to say with your post.

His post makes absolutely no sense and shouldn't have been written in English in the first place.

Binance is probably out of Hong Kong, and it's certainly somewhere in Asia.  I doubt OP is mentioning legal action because of the recent hack, because I don't think any customers lost funds.  Binance itself took the hit.  Anyway, we'll never know what OP means unless he can get someone else to write his sentiments coherently.

On a related note, Binance said deposits and withdrawals were going to be suspended for about a week, and it's been roughly 6 days now.  I'm really hoping my funds aren't frozen for much longer, and I'm sure I'm not alone.  They're going to have a lot of pissed-off customers if they don't finish whatever investigation they're doing pretty soon.

I guess we don't understand what OP wants to say in here.
OP, maybe you need to clarify what do you want so we can give the right answer.
We can only guess what you want without knowing the truth so it will be better if you can explain more details.
Binance hacking news can happen too in the other exchanges, and we should be careful.

[Ailmand]

I got confused with OPs post. He just used Google translate to translate the thread that he posted on the link which was on the local Russian board. It seems that he is talking about the recent hack the occurred in Binance. Well, Binance took action on it and they made sure that users funds are safe. They are starting to work on their system to further improve their security system.

OP should really clarify his post, or else it will not make any sense.

Using the translator lost the meaning of what he wants to convey. But anyhow, wherever Binance is currently based. They have done their homework where to strategically position their exchange to optimize the advantages of a certain country when it comes to crypto exchange regulations. And in my opinion, BNB will protect their clients from losing their funds.

[figmentofmyass]

i can't decipher how the 85,000 USDT was lost.

I think that Binance is Hong Kong based,I don't remember.

they used to be in hong kong, then japan. now they are operated from malta, although they have servers in several countries.

On a related note, Binance said deposits and withdrawals were going to be suspended for about a week, and it's been roughly 6 days now.  I'm really hoping my funds aren't frozen for much longer, and I'm sure I'm not alone.  They're going to have a lot of pissed-off customers if they don't finish whatever investigation they're doing pretty soon.

according to their update on sunday, they expect to reopen deposits and withdrawals tomorrow: https://www.binance.com/en/blog/334367288279687168/Binance-Security-Incident-Update-3

Customers does not lost funds but this lose is a reduction of the income of Binance and this will affect their tax liability.
The regulators will certainly conduct an investigation to whatever jurisdiction Binance is under of, if they found this incident unjustifiable, they will surely face the consequence and that's the time we users will be affected as their operations might be suspended, that's the worse case scenario I have in my mind.

This is true and that move to Malta was made in 2017 during the wake of the Chinese ban on Bitcoin.

This has nothing to do with the recent hack where nobody actually money in there except Binance itself. OP is talking about an event that occurred about 8 months ago where someone lost 80,000 USDT.

This is sadly one of the reasons members of the forum don't take any post made by Newbies seriously. They are always in a haste to increase their post counts without caring if they misinform others or not.

Hahaha, he would have just looked for an English translator to do the job for him instead of using Google translator that cannot be as perfect as humans in interpreting it. I don’t think Binance scammed him because he mentioned something like 8 months, which Binance never had any issue of such or anything related to tether, could it be that its bitfinex he wants to mention and not Binance.

Binance has no relationship with tether, its bitfinex product and they alone should be responsible for that. Anyway, he has already put the original post which is in Russia and I hope we can get a Russian translator here that would help out.

At the moment, they do not want to admit their mistake, moreover, they openly manipulate the time of transactions (not paying attention to the time zone of the account). And do not forget to include a link to the rules, where black and white "We not guarantee You anything" - communication is with support, but it is... it's like talking to a deaf-mute.

It was no one but Binance that lost a big stacks of more than $40 million. But they are wise and you know the way they treated its users was matchless. They said in their first tweet that they will cover the loss which helped the users keep control over their nerves. In addition, they took a week off to investigate and inspect the weak zone and make sure it is braced against any future hack.

They are based in japan because there is much better crypto laws there. At the time of their ICO and those early days they were in china but they moved their operation to Japan because China is a known against crypto type of country since they want their own currency to be worlds biggest currency instead of dollar but bitcoin makes that difficult by making all currencies worth less.

Now, they are based in japan and if you ever feel like you have been wronged by binance in any way or shape they do have great laws there that prevents those type of stuff to happen again. Once upon a time mt.gox happened in japan and even as early bitcoin days they handled it very well so they are focusing on becoming a bitcoin center country while still holding responsible liable on their actions.

Wrong. They're no longer operating under FSA, they chooses to ran off with Japanese regulators are hot on this heels. And as far as I know they are the first trading exchanges who brokered a good deal in Malta that's why they immediately take advantage of it and settled there.

As far as OP's problem though, reach out to Binance, there are the only one who can really help you out.

We’ve received from Binance a "gift", as they call it, in the amount of 10%. From more than 85.000 USDT, 8.500 USDT we’re allocated in BNB tokens. We’ve exchanged this sum. But what about the remaining 90%? This is where Binance redirects us to its own rules and explains verbatim: We owe you nothing, we don’t have to, and we are not responsible for anything, neither for trading, nor for users' balance, nor for users. You trade at your own risk.

Naturally, this “It is your fault” communication format did not suit us. Our entire situation of conflict (including screenshots of trading days, amounts on the day of trading, correspondence with support) was neatly packed into almost 116 mail envelopes and we start sending out to organizations that we think should monitor the “Unpredictable Cryptocurrency Market” and such “cowboys” as Binance. It should be added that as a result of communication in the ticket system, we could not find out where the physical office of the "corporation" is located, which company manages the exchange, in what jurisdiction, any contacts of the company, the legal department or at least some contacts of individuals. This is all a "mystery of the universal scale."

We attended an organized Meetup in Moscow, expressed our complaints and petitions to the representatives of Binance. They were there and there was no reaction on their part. It seems that such "actions" on the part of Binance are happening all the time and we consider them as fraudulent, including the manipulation of trade and all the rest.

If someone needs contacts: emails, telephones, faxes, addresses of each organization, then write to us, and we will provide them.

At the same time, we are planning to create a web resource to highlight this problem, to collect "secret information" about the "secret corporation", to gather similar stories and methods for getting out of them. Nevertheless, traders also have rights, and the exchange should have its own obligations, and not just receive a commission, sell its useless tokens, and manipulate the market. 

I will publish later the address of the web resource, and we will continue.
