Poloniex does not have any obligation to engage in activity in relation to attacks on blockchain networks. Poloniex makes no representation and does not warrant the safety of the Platform and is not liable for any lost value or stolen property, whether or not Poloniex was negligent in providing the proper security. POLONIEX is not responsible to what happens to your coins and can suspend the service in case of a cyber attack at any time and leave you out in the cold.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, POLONIEX SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR TORT DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS) IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF POLONIEX HAS BEEN ADVISED OR IS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Now, I am not saying that POLONIEX is insolvent or has been hacked or any of this. But the last time we saw that many red-flags was when Mount Gox went belly-up in 2014 because of an undisclosed cyber-attack that robbed the exchange of 744,408 bitcoins, rendering it insolvent and unable to oblige withdrawals.
It is owned by goldman ball sacks now.
And that is why I'm afraid my friends it will be very difficult to open, let alone win a case against these guys. They've got their bases covered in case of an "upset" that would be out of their hands, and they've got Goldman holding them up. They will claim that if you don't verify your account, you won't be able to prove that the money is yours, and therefore have no standing against them. Then they will say that they gave you adequate warning and failed to abide to their terms of service. And then they'll point to their disclaimer.
What a shame these exchanges are turning into.
