I used to like HitBTC but now it just seems like one thing after the other. I was recently alerted to this one coin they listed on Coinmarketcap under Presearch using the ticker PRE.
So people would be redirected from there to PRE on HitBTC. Only one problem with that... The coin that HitBTC linked to from Coinmarketcap is not actually Presearch. In fact, I couldn't find any information on the coin they named Premine when looking in the tab under the PRE ticker.
They have changed the ticker now to PRS but CoinExchange still used PRE. Either way you look at it this is an exchange that has no issues whatsoever about scamming its customers.
I still have a few holdings on HitBTC but those are definintely going to Bittrex after seeing this one. And I don't think I would move back even if they reimbursed all the customers they scammed because this appears to be something that is perfectly acceptable to HitBTC. Just look at the thread on this matter over in their forum:

So any update with this shit? We lost our money?
It's worth thinking about the intentions that are behind this.
There's a lot of delay and complaints about transactions and funds if you check out some forums. Yet HitBtc keeps on listing new coins, as the one in the quote above, and continues doing this. So apparently there is communication between HitBtc and several ICO/coin teams, while there is very very few communication about complaints regarding their service. This hasn't changed and they actually never ever even opened up a job offer for that. They "have" a few communications/marketing officers, but I'll bet they can't help you at all.
