Yobit, Poloniex, Bittrex etc... it's a long and growing list of errant exchanges. They depend on the fact that many are naive and desperate to cash in and join the trading frenzy. With bitcoin's value soaring wildly, those unverified accounts will stay unverified for a while. A perfect opportunity for the people behind these exchanges to invest their hot wallet's contents.
You can cry and be angry. It's like a thick soundproofed wall that separates you (victims) and these exchanges. No care and consideration whatsoever. No thoughts for those who might need their few coins for their families these Christmas holidays.
