So most of the scam accusations are quite old and not very relevant in 2019 as even the ownership of Poloniex has changed hands.

As it's a low-volume exchange, trade with low-funds only.

Note: An accusation is not a major one if either it belongs to someone having less than 5 merits or it's not a part of personal funds at the exchange. Moreover, if there's any merit to any of the accusations, it'll be considered as major. So if you feel that you're seeing an accusation which is not being considered as major, just give that accusation a merit and it'll be counted as major.
