Bittrex is a ponzi scheme. They are long gone. The site is on automatic. What they are doing is very illegal. It may not have completely collapsed yet, as some people can still withdraw, and that is their plausible deniability, for now, but make no mistake. They do not have your funds and they are not planning to give you your coins back, ever. They have stolen your crypto tokens. It has nothing to do with regulations. They are scammers. Period. The best we can do is launch a lawsuit and hope to settle for a fraction of what is owed to us. Stop defending these criminals.
