The domain is seized bu US authorities, it seems that it will be the bigger lesson for the unlicensed exchangers worldwide and especially Poloniex
Is poloniex unlicensed ? while its containment any exchanges I'll see him about the same thing with the exchanges that you have to look out for is manipulation of the withdrawal and deposit limits. Need to be careful while using exchanges.
YES, poloniex is unlicensed and it's based in USA;same as Kraken.
Poloniex doesn't have the New York bitlicense or any money transmitting license which is why it operates without fiat but it is a US licensed company that complies with KYC and money laundering regulation.
Exactly - Thankfully, they are a registered MSB in my state, as I looked it up in the state's database (not Fincen), so I'm not worried. Not only that, but the owner is well known and is public , you can quickly figure out who he is with google.
Edit - Mayax, it may be "Illegal" in some areas or uses by particular users just like any exchange, but not for me at least. Thanks.
