I'm surprised that Polo isn't offering to at least compensate in some way, though, given the fault is probably partially on them for offering margin trading on illiquid markets anyways...
...especially when their positions should have automatically closed in the first place.
I'm getting legal advice, and I've received confirmation that pooling losses is illegal.
The default is 100% due to Poloniex's negligence. If the other trading platforms didn't allow margin trading on CLAM, that's because they were smarter.
I suppose most of these people doing this illegal crap don't actually think that the people they're stealing money from are ever going to pursue them in a legal battle, and that's where they're wrong because they could get away by taking lots of people's money but one day they'll come across one person that won't put up with this.
I'm glad you guys have been posting on here, letting everyone here know what type of shady business these guys are running, and that you should never trust a 'business man' so to speak. Anyway, I hope the court rules it all in your favours and Poloneix gets to make it right!
