And yes i agree that it was a mistake on my part, that i did not do an extensive research about HitBTC. Now that i am digging in, i am finding all the problems.

But what amazes me is that in order to find this problems, you actually need to take your time and search a lot.

Why are there no news on the big crypto pages? Why are there so few posts in Twitter/FB about this- from all the "famous" guys in crypto...

If this does not go public - there will be more and more burned users and eventually there will be another mtgox... but this time it will be much worse...
