It seems that Poloniex will hold your money hostage unless you make a forum post about it. See:

So this forum post will stay up until Poloniex has returned my $6,439 USD.

A few days ago around May 10th, Poloniex experienced a DDoS attack and had trouble processing withdraws, understandable. However a week later, people were still having trouble withdrawing. So, on May 21st I tried a small withdraw of .001 btc. Hardly a large amount and definitely not over any withdraw limit. 24 hours later, no response. Mods in trollbox say to wait and be patient. I file a support ticket. Everyday I ask the mods to bump my support ticket and still no response from support. So the way I see it there is a problem because Poloniex is not being transparent. No one has any idea why Poloniex is freezing withdraws. In anticipation of typical responses to this thread:

1) "You withdrew over your limit": .001 BTC is hardly an amount that should trigger "OMG that's a huge withdraw!" flags.
2) "They usually respond in 24 hours, but resolution can take 3-5 days": IT HAS BEEN 10 DAYS and not a single response not even in the first 24 hours. No explanation. None.
3) "I am having no problems withdrawing, you must be overreacting": The problem is that poloniex is not being transparent about why they are holding withdraws. This means that at any moment they might choose your account to be frozen too. I was having no problems with withdrawing... until I did.

So after 10 days of asking poloniex to give me my money back, I am done. I will check my wallet everyday for a successful withdraw. If it does not, poloniex has officiallly stolen $6,439 USD of my money.

Yeah,poloniex and others exchanger doing something shit lately.
And FYI another problem will happen in the future if you have a little bit money aroun 1k-5k$ and
You're not from USA or EUROPE they'll ask your data for verfication such as passport,etc and
They'll hold your money for the time being,
Of course it'll be more than a week
