[Solved] !! Warning !! Bitget Exchange

[Dhrugtest]

I'm just going to leave it here if anyone is interested.
Like OP provided. It's is the same accusation, they are selectively scamming people.


https://www.blockhead.co/2023/04/11/bitget-exposed-as-chinese-scammers-starts-100m-asia-web3-fund/

also the trustpilot revies don't mean anything since people can pay to post fake reviews on that website.

But Evan's case and Bitget is quite a funny and popular one too I'm surprised that not many people here knew about it. I followed up on the case when there was a trend about the exchange scamming its users.
Here's what I found.

Evan who was an advisor for REELT, sold too much of his allocated token upon its listing on the exchange and a few others, thereby crashing down the price of the asset. Here's Bitget's statement to that incident.( It was 200k that was frozen not 16 million as op has wrongly claimed. )
https://www.bitget.com/support/articles/12560603778479

They also made another statement saying they have compensated the affected investors of REELT due to the manipulation of the tokens price. https://www.bitget.com/support/articles/12560603782175

What I found most hilarious is that Evan himself had admitted to selling quite a lot of the token on several exchanges here's a link to the tweet containing the Screenshot of the conversation where he admitted to it. https://twitter.com/lyric_patrick2/status/1643582212678270978?t=30Rx8PM3p6GOPzzS8DcHNQ&s=19

I learnt recently that he had filed lawsuit against Bitget. I'm looking forward to the outcome of that.

For future reference, always include both sides of a story when making assertions to enable readers know the situation and also be able to judge accordingly.

Here's my take.. I'm neither affiliated with Bitget nor have I used the exchange before, but with these evidences of him admitting to selling beyond a reasonable amount of the listed token quite enough to crash its price, I don't think the exchange did wrong for freezing his funds and reimbursing other investors. Just my take tho.

I am using Bitget for more than six months and didn't faced single problem. Withdraw instantly processing without any pending. The highest fund i deposited is 1500$ which i recieved from airdrop. Bitget exchange doing lot of promotion and they hired many Youtubers, influencers to promote their exchange.

I think not only Bitget but every new exchange is risky for big fund. 16 million is very big amount and I wonder why this whale not reported to law team to get back his fund if he is true in his claim. There is possibility of false accusations by this whale as sometimes they have no good setup with each other which results this kind of situation. Anyway we should always use trusted exchange for trading purpose and no need to take risk.

Lol I don't even use the exchange but I'm aware of the incidence between Evan and Bitget back when Indians were pushing the hashtag. Evidences shows that man didn't invest 16 million lol it was 200k that was frozen by Bitget because he dumped his REELT bags on other investors. The exchange said the funds have been used added with theirs, to compensate other investors who got affected from what Evan and other developers of the project did. Not to be biased but I doubt a scam exchange would do that.

He wants to sue the exchange for 16 million tho. OP is capping lol

You never know how whether they are trusted enough or not until you deal with millions.

So far the impressions are exchange isn't a scam and no one really accused them of losing their money by depositing there but still they are relatively low trusted to go with big amounts.

And for the record Bitget "Exposed" as "Chinese Scammers", Starts $100M Asia Web3 Fund.

[Adbitco]

Snip

It's just an assumption but that some if not all of these people who put large amounts of money in a new exchange are part of the scheme given that they can get it back if they're really part of the inner circle of the scammer. Unlikely to happen but it's a possibility, I am the same as you, I don't understand someone using a new exchange and then depositing large amounts of money, I mean you would probably be thinking twice and being really careful where you put it since it's a lot of money right? I think it's a common sense to not be trusting of new exchanges with that kind of money, not having that instinct is just begging to have that money get stolen.

I can't even risk my fund to deposit in any exchange that I have never understand how they operates or even have seen good records about them although I might not be overwhelmed with their good ratings or records. Since some of the exchange can pretends for years before executing their real purpose of scamming people, just what FTX did their to users, which made lots of people lost their lifetime savings. Before trusting exchange carefully examine them also do not leave your asset in any exchange.

[Potato Chips]

By the way OP, I suggest removing the first quoted review from trust pilot in your post because I'm pretty sure it was just a recovery scam attempt. It's the same kind of shit that gets spammed all the time, you can read more about this on: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fbi-warns-of-increasing-cryptocurrency-recovery-scams/

In any case, regardless of this accusation thread, I've already felt iffy about them when I saw the amount of fake reviews in Exchanges board. Unless I'm out of choices, I'm most likely not gonna touch them.

How long are you going to examine them before you transact there then? Bitget has a Trust score of 9 and I believe that isn't a bad rating. You mentioned FTX and what became of it, you also need to know that same thing can also happen to even "our beloved All Mighty" Binance tomorrow. Listen, sometimes these things happen unintentionally and not that the owners planned to scam from the beginning. I've been with projects that have fantastic roadmaps and were following through until something unplanned happened that uttered everything and it ended up killing those projects. This is why I sometimes cut projects some slacks.

That is true though, but sometimes it's very hard to determine the exchange that could failed tomorrow or likely to scam people sometimes we need to be very mindful with the way we transact with them, you just said it all so I don't think there is anymore to deliberate on this issues anymore. Nevertheless, we all have to apply cautiousness while dealing with any exchange because scam is unavoidable.

That's the best action to do so that he can verify this accusation and give his side since if someone will just post this in behalf of him in this forum maybe this will stir up something then we cannot get any accurate information regarding on this case.
But also hope we can see Bitget can read this thread and answer the warning posted against them since this can help them and this community to know more information regarding on this issue.

Look, after six days the @OP didn't comeback to reply even though he's active everyday and keep making post in other sections. Seems like he only want to hurt this project and don't want to give clarification whether he want to continue to accuse this project or admit he was wrong.

Since the campaign is already stopped [FIN] Bitget.com | Trade Smarter | Signature Campaign ~ Hero/Legendary, @OP already get what he want.

[Cryptoababe]

To be clear, I have no relation to Bitget exchange, I don't even have an account there, so this is not a defence of their name. I just don't like blanket accusations and guesswork.

I agree... would like to see some additional evidence as well. Their way of marketing themselves here is kind of shady, however. Most exchanges or projects that try to do what they're doing (paying accounts to slip in references to Bitget here and there) end up scamming their users.

Would also like to see evidence of their campaign, which very well might exist, but I don't know where.


For example, these accounts have all been talking about Bitget recently in an out-of-context fashion:

Vivageneviv - 55 posts
ananyabushra - 30 posts
Zee27 - 29 posts
Bitcoinpoly - 21 posts
Cryptobabe - 15 posts
Shuuuuu - 14 posts

They're just cramming in talk about how reputable the exchange is in places where it doesn't need to be, makes me wonder how much they're getting paid to do this. Probably not much, $1 a post at the very max.

Mentioning Bitget doesn't mean. I mention the exchanges I use. I cant post my whole story here but i switch to exchanges that suits me. And i recommend them. Btw, I used to mention Binance and MEXC sometimes ago. Why didn't you notice me then?

Was the purpose of the OP to stop the Signature Campaign???

Also, i do not think that the campaign was stopped because of his scam accusation. Bitget wants to focus on other things, and they will come back to the campaign sometime later. That was told when the campaign was put on hold.

And I believe this scam accusation hasn't had any effect on their business too as they are getting 10M monthly traffic as shown by the statics sites like Similar Web.

What happened::
I am following one indian youtuber Wise advise for learning purpose.

Learning?
You're following this guy for learning?




You must be joking! And if you're not and you really think you "learn" from him then I can already know how much you will learn from him, 1000 ways to lose your money and do stupid things! I'm really wondering right now what's worse, bitget in case it's a scam o this guy who gives "advice"

Some recent trust pilots review:


https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bitget.com

Bad company!! Nothing worked as expected. So I report them to 𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌.𝟎𝐑𝐆 and got my refund

Guess your mentor hasn't managed to teach you what a recovery scam is!
Much to learn you have, your padawan, and much stupid stuff to forget you have!

He didn't get any more advice from his wise advise influencer, that's why!

But have they replied to OP's warning about their site? If they are running a campaign here, they also need to ensure that they will respond to any feedback, especially negative ones, about them to maintain their reputation. Why would they waste money if they can't be active here? At the very least, they should have a representative to address issues like this.

In general maybe, but here in the forum?

The mastermind behind the accusations against Bitget has come out publicly to apologize for tarnishing the image of the exchange. In his words....
"I want to clarify that I made some false accusations about Bitget and Gracy @GracyBitget. My emotions played too much of a role and I regret the damage my actions caused. I apologize about that.

If you got affected by the REELT incident, I know Bitget already took care of compensating users affected by that mess, and I've worked with Bitget to take make sure all users are made whole.

After a constructive dialogue with the Bitget team, I've gained a more nuanced understanding of their operations and ethos, and I now see they are a reliable and trustworthy platform. This experience has also taught me valuable lessons, which will guide me to make more contributions to the industry in the future.”

See that he was literally just fudding after all.  Check out the tweet he made dated 8th August 2023.

The lesson learnt here is to always check things out for yourself and not rely on what others say in the crypto space because it could be mere fud.

Thanks for sharing this and now everything cleared that the problem was not from Bitget but with Evenluthra understanding. He accused Bitget everywhere even in telegraph. I think Bitget make some settlement with this guyz because he was giving strictly warning and this accusation was trended everywhere.

 Now it's time to lock the Thread because the above twitter statement of guys prove that problem already solved so I think no more discussion needed. The only problem here is that Bitget team should be active to answer all issues so that all users know real picture of the story .

well, I can't vouch for them, since personally I am not using, but for what I know they are not a scam exchange and have a worldwide recognition. however I don't thinkis useful for a scam/warning post such reviews since it's pretty clear this is just another advertisment of a fake service for recovering crypto

I tried so many times to contact this guy through twitter but he didn't respond. I searched for other contact but not found. I waited for many days but still I not recieved any reply. why I hurt project as I myself using Bitget exchange for small trading. I didn't even used scam words in the heading. I shared whole story with source link so that big investors should research before getting-in in this exchange.

Thanks Zee27 for sharing such an useful update. I read all and it's quite interesting that now he is apologizing after creating a long term fud. I am now locking this thread and adding  " solved " in heading .
