i'm now hearing so many of these complaints across different mediums, that i'm now becoming very concerned that this is cryptsy 2.0. this time, way more money is on the line. Undecided

I'm really interested in your findings. Could you pinpoint me some sources, e.g. Tweets, Facebook posts, Forum threads, Reddit discussions, etc?

check out the poloniex reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoloniexForum/

the entire front page is filled with horror stories posted in the last day about poloniex. stuck deposits and withdrawals, frozen accounts for months, etc. i thought it would improve after the altcoin boom from may and june subsided, but it seems that problems are just getting worse.

exchanges do this for days and weeks on end without making any effort to begin resolving the situation. i received 3-4 such boilerplates over 7-8 days from coinbase the last time i had an issue. when a real person finally responded, they basically ignored my emails and were obviously still referring to a templates of boilerplate answers.

from the sound of peoples' recent experiences at poloniex, it could take weeks to resolve even this small deposit situation. if it gets resolved at all.

Do you think they got hacked and had their coins stolen? And now they're delaying deposits and withdrawals to cover it up? Could it be my ETH were used to finally process another user's delayed withdrawal request?

it's anybody's guess at this point. their recent change of terms and cryptsy-like behavior suggest this is possible.
