Tradeogre is down right now is it hacked or is it seized ?

[nonlogs]

Of course, I do hope it's not an exit scam, and they will come back—if I had money there though, I would withdraw immediately and never come back lol.

Yeah, if they ever come back, which i doubt, the exchange would probably not survive the 'bank run' that will ensue. Almost everyone will rush to withdraw their money, except the exchange blocks withdrawal.

I think this is an exit scam... and I lost +/- $ 1000,00 USD.

I hate to hear that, sorry. I see guys on Reddit who claim to have lost a lot of money, really sad for them and i am sure they are constantly on tenterhooks to see the end of this situation.

I think he exited with xmr and selling them recently, xmr crashed $50. Just my assumption.

What are the odds?

The sixth largest earthquake ever recorded happens at the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia at almost the exact time that tradeogre goes down.

There is an undersea internet cable coming into the peninsula almost exactly where the epicenter was.

Did we just find where the exchange was being hosted?

Assuming this is not some sort of exit scam, If the website was hosted there and it went down, then it would make no sense for the operator to not make a social media statement and leave the coins alone up until now, unless he was literally killed or severely injured in the earthquake. I really hope that isn't the case. And from looking at Wikipedia, the odds of this having happened are quite low.

The strange thing is that there still seems to be steady routine BTC inflow into the exchange address, even as of a few hours ago, probably from miners.

Timing doesn’t match up. The exchange went down 18 hours before the earthquake happened.

I read a discussion on reddit on something similar. People suggesting that the exchange may have been operated from Russia and it is possible the owners were affected by this earthquake. All of which is just hopeful speculations, especially from people who have funds in there and are trying as much as possible to lean away from an exit scam.

then it would make no sense for the operator to not make a social media statement and leave the coins alone up until now, unless he was literally killed or severely injured in the earthquake.

The operators and owner are unknown.

 They waiting until the 'HEAT' dies down, exchange frozen indifferently?

[logfiles]

Anybody know about this domain?

Code:

tradeogre.us

Could it have been a mirror site to tradeogre.com or just some random phishing site?
There has to be an explanation to the continuous deposit of BTC into the exchange's address as already observed by some member.

scam/phising. I tested it, it will tries to steal your 2fa key. I don’t think that’s going to be of much use to him right now either lol

Found an interesting comment in kycnot.me's tradeogre page



The thread in question: https://nitter.net/flexamused/status/1950426088405913964

How true do you all think this is? unfortunately, I'm not savvy enough to analyze chunks of on-chain data. This certainly paints a different picture to me if true. This is only for ETH, btw.

KYCNOT.ME has also decided to mark TradeOgre as scam

I think the data is true but if we analyze furthermore we can see such huge TX happening time to time and I believe it is not owner but user making TX to Binance and I don't think the owner would be dumb enough to transfer money to Binance which doesn't make sense, or it could be a 3D chess move by owner to make us think otherwise, and I still believe it is exit scam, and he ran away with XMR he held not BTC or ETH.

I don't know that, but domain was privately registered by Domains By Proxy and GoDaddy.
Your theory about connection with earthquake is not adding up with Tradeogre owners not posting any announcement about this.
I am not sure if they exist scammed, but I would like this exchange to have proper closure.

[Z-tight]

KYCNOT.ME has also decided to mark TradeOgre as scam

Yeah, i also see that, they said it would be marked as a scam until the situation with TradeOgre is clarified, which is a smart thing to do. Instead of taking it down right now, this should be a warning until we are sure if this is an exit scam. It is over two weeks now and this service is still down, does anyone still believe this isn't am exit scam? All theories that claim otherwise does not make too much sense to me.

Tradeogre have a twitter support page with no explanations, so, I think it is an exit scam.

TO twitter (now X) address is verified one. So isnt it mandatory to provide contact number and card details for premium customers?
If so, is it difficult to find the owner of this exchange by going through the legal process?
For small holders it's really expensive but what about people who had several BTC and ETH there?

Gone are the days when verification on X.com were more about undergoing a real verification process to confirm that an individual or an entity is genuine and not some impersonator. These days, it's just about money thanks to Elon Musk and I can verify my account through payment using a card that does belong to me or ising an anonymous crypto card (there are so many available).

The legal process might be lengthy and might also involve a court order with the help of law enforcement if one needs privacy details about their x profile, of which one might not be sure if it's real info or not. The scammer could have pre-planned his exit from way back.

Yeah, could be users, but perhaps some are not? I think the chance is still there. I honestly thought scammers sending funds to CEX accounts is dumb as well until I learned there is a market for buying and selling verified accounts out there. And some accounts have real people behind them lending their identity in case accounts get flagged.

It is over two weeks now and this service is still down, does anyone still believe this isn't am exit scam? All theories that claim otherwise does not make too much sense to me.

I still see people believing it's not an exit scam. I think they have money stuck in the exchange so they're hopeful.

I'm more of a believer that TradeOgre is a government-backed honeypot. No different than ANOM because criminals are typically not smart.

Look at the Jeandiel Serrano case: https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/serrano-cryto-thief-doj-pretrial-detention-memo.pdf

They used numerous cryptocurrency exchanges such as eXch, which does
not require “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”) information. In one instance, Serrano himself
created an account on TradeOgre.com to make a deposit of approximately $29,000,000 worth of
virtual currency, believing it to be clean and successfully laundered. Each and every time the
account was accessed, it utilized a VPN connection to mask its location. Serrano however failed
to use a VPN when he created the account and records from TradeOgre show that the account was
created from an IP address registered to Serrano’s $47,500 per month rental home in Encino,
California.

Whoever runs it is not anonymous if the feds have account data. That they use services based in the United States like GoDaddy and Cloudflare creates an even easier paper trail of records to obtain. Not like they ever had a defined legal process for submitting and serving subpoenas. Make your own conclusions, but if they aren't working for the feds, then they are likely running from them for obvious reasons.

Repost from Reddit:

https://socradar.io/salesforce-data-breach-affecting-multiple-companies/

Scroll down about 2/3 of article.

“ Beyond Salesforce-related claims, the group advertised a Linux local privilege escalation exploit for 10 BTC, suggested leaking Oracle source code if their post received 100 likes, and posted databases allegedly tied to the Snowflake breach. They commented on law enforcement actions, mocking the seizure of the cryptocurrency exchange TradeOgre, and announced plans for their own Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) program, boasting it would outperform DragonForce and LockBit.”

What is the timing? Explain it here or that theory pans out.
