A brief sum up: hitbtc allows me to deposit btc without any kyc stress, right after currency conversion and following withdrawal request they suspect some terrorist attack going on with these 200 bucks, which are, moreover, a subject to mandatory "securing".
First thing, this thread ought to be in the Scam Accusation thread with all the evidence you have, including screenshots. Second, it'd be much better for your complaint if you were more concise, because I can tell you that big walls of text don't go over well here. Third, the problems with HitBTC are well known and I think if you search in the Scam Accusation section you'll find out people have had horrible experiences there and they're pretty much considered to be a scam exchange by the community here.
And believe me, I understand your frustration and sense of loss and helplessness after being fucked over by a crypto exchange. That's the problem with the unregulated ones: they can basically do whatever the hell they want, and they know most people aren't going to pursue the matter through legal means. If you're considering that, I say go for it. I'd love to see one of these dirtbag exchanges brought to justice.
Good luck, and I'm sorry HitBTC screwed you over.
thank you for the kind words and reasonable advices. the reason for this topic being elsewhere other than scam accusations section is the point i suspect hitbtc works for many traders thus it is essentially odd to accuse the exchange in scam however my case actually falls under this category. following your advice, ill reopen the concise edit of this topic out there along with some screenshots. it seems to be a less costly option rather than
to pursue the matter through legal means.
it still would be better if i dont spend time on talks with them any more, as i already mentioned, because, yes, my frustration is real and part of it comes from their 'support'. it just doesnt exist.
