so coinbase/gdax didnt gave out bch or bcc to btc holders...so where did the bch/bcc went ? to coinbase pocket?

is it the biggest robbery/fraud in crypto history?

Of course it went to Coinbase's pocket! Those bitcoins do have private keys and since Coinbase doesn't offer private keys to their customers it's Coinbase that owns the private keys for all their assets (coins) under management.

Yeah it's a pretty shady or brilliant move, depending on your perspective. Coinbase gets the opportunity of BCC upside while avoiding the hassle of having to manage a new coin on their books. There could be some really sound business (sensible) reasons that led for the decision.

And you can't really call it robbery or fraud when Coinbase clearly announced to the world (and their customers directly) that they would not be offering BCC post-fork to any of their customers. They offered a date and time at which people would need to withdraw their bitcoin AND they encouraged people to withdraw their bitcoin if they wanted access to Bitcoin Cash.

They were as open and honest as anyone could expect...hardly a case for robbery or fraud.

so coinbase doesnt support bch/bcc but profits more than any other exchange from this fork? nice move, with their clients btc deposits
they should at least allow their clients to withdraw the bcc/bch to a wallet

You continue to ignore the fact that they told everybody at least a week before today that they would not be supporting BCC. How is there wrong doing when they encourage people to take their money elsewhere if they want access to BCC? They can't force people to move their money.

What should they have done if they didn't have the time, money, or resources to set up an infrastructure to manage BCC as a 4th currency on their platform? They only had 2 months notice that this was coming (just like the rest of us)!
