After IDAX, now Dash?

[qwizzie]

I think I read about this earlier and then they released a news update that this is a hoax and customers coins were never stolen. We need to regulate media in crypto to avoid circulation of fake news

Truth be told there were some users that did not get their funds back and had difficulty getting through to moocowmoo for months now. This got resolved recently.

But the way this topic has been presented to us indeed has fake news elements in it and/or personal assumptions from OP that were then misrepresented as facts.
That is why it is important these days to not blindly believe anything you read on the internet.

Well, the money is not really "gone" because it is missing and quite at the same place but can't be reached to be more precise. So, it is not really "stolen" as long as the coins stay at the same place, if the coins move that means they were not really "gone" like the articles say. People can't go missing anymore, it is 2019 and almost 2020 and there is GPS and so forth.

However, if they really do (there are still kids and so forth, maybe some adults too) went missing, that doesn't mean anything bad for the coins itself, they are still staying there without moving to anywhere else. Hell it is even good for everyone who is not involved, because in the end bitcoin gets higher in value, other coins as well, they are becoming more scarce as well so they become more expensive.

This is becoming like the norm l, people left in tears over lost of money, now I see reason why people are now feeling skeptical about leaving their funds in exchanges. Centralized exchange hmmm, a no no for me

It is becoming the norm because people do not learn, I do not understand why people for example leave their coins in centralized exchanges when they are not going to make any trade, they only have to pay a few dollars to get their coins out of that exchange and get their coins to their wallet and yet they do not do it and then they suffer the consequences, and now we're seeing something similar with good projects and some of their developers stealing coins from their investors and this is going to continue to people learn their lesson.

Things like this will continue to happen because this is a quick way to get money easily and a lot. I do not know the issue of exit scam, hack, etc is really happening or just a trick. What is certain is not to put too much money on the exchange, especially if you do not have full control over it.
Could be, this issue is also used for a handful of people to reduce the price of bitcoin, especially before entering the halving period later.

At this point the space is scarier than it has ever been different reputable projects going awol. Countinghouse fund has been shut down as well with investors funds gone no one knows the fate of the fund as all team members has disappeared over night.

This is another painful news, where do we go from here? Idax and now Dash thus giving users the idea not to trust even the core team in any project. However, all i see henceforth is a group of users who will now be smart and conscious of their funds, no trusting of anyone with their funds or whatever; if you can't hold your funds or run any activities within a project you let it go.

Its really simple to avoid this mess, stay away from centralized projects, things like this can easily happen to any centralized projects, teams or ceo running away with users funds or whatsoever

Thank you all for participating in the spreading of fake news.

quotation from OP

A senior advisor for the Dash Core Group has apparently disappeared with the funds of several investors.
Concerned parties within the community are left trying to put together the pieces.

A prominent individual within the Dash Core Group has apparently gone missing in what is increasingly looking like an exit scam.
The now-gone senior advisor for Dash, known by his moniker ‘moocowmoo,’ was also the owner of a service specializing in ‘masternode shares.’
The individual has disappeared and apparently run away with the funds of several Dash investors.

You can't have both an Dash exit scam / someone disappearing with Dash funds and Dash users reporting that they got their funds back.

It also shows that very few people actually read the comments of this thread. Of course there are also people who are just responding to the IDAX incident and that is fine.
But those of you that responded or plan to respond to the Dash insinuation need to understand that insinuation has proven to be false / incorrect !

Users by now already received their funds back, there was no exit scam and no senior adviser of Dash Core Group ran off with any funds.
Above quotation from OP (page 1, post 1) is the fake news part of this thread. Just a bunch of personal assumptions of OP that proved to be incorrect.

Only correct and honest thing to do for OP at this point is to update his first post.

This is why it's important to trade on regulated exchanges like ecxx and coinbase.
