Aren't exchanges fractional reserves? Even if he had the private key for it C-cex may not actually have any funds in his wallet but have a database somewhere that says the account has rights to that many coins.
I would assume that any legitimate exchange has exactly as many BTC under control as their database shows the customers. They would probably not be on the exact address, but mostly in cold storrage, but thats not fractional reserve.
