Hello fellow crypto enthusiasts!
Yobit seems to be stealing ERC20 tokens systematically from it's depositors.
Their site does not support smart contracts. This means whenever an unsuspecting user deposits tokens from another exchange (most of which send via smart contracts), the money will be deposited to their account, but will never reach your wallet.
An example of such a transaction:
https://etherscan.io/tx/0x69634a79e556800f716f6e339e7442c5317e57dcb70bef365e82611e000a6bccEach of these countless cases could easily be addressed if the staff manually credits your yobit wallet with the tokens.
Alas the support will not respond to tickets and is not reachable via any other communication channel.
Since I am far from alone with this issue, it is time for a class action lawsuit against the owner of the exchange.
We WILL be able to get our money back if we do this.
Tell me if you are up for the task.
I also got crewed by Yobit (check out the following topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2726811.20) and tought that I could make some sort of a legal action against them. The problem is that Yobit does not exist anywhere but on the net. It is not registered in Russia as a business subject. The domain data are protected by some shady regulations in Russia (on the account of being protective over the private persons). The domain authority is in Russia and Ukraine. Their website is hosted in USA (CloudFlare Inc.) and is most probably paid for over the acc in Cayman Islands or similar sources. If you are a US citizen, the FBI might help, but for the rest of us ... that is about it. I surely doubt that the Russian FSB will bother with it.
So, I could not find any firm correlation between Yobit and its owner(s) and therefore I got noone to suit or persuit.
If you have anything better info, I am here and I'm willing to participate.
