In my view, entities like Trocador and OrangeFren have done a lot to give uninformed folks like me a false sense of security. That's exactly what got me caught in this mess. I thought if I have done nothing wrong, I have nothing to lose. I thought these are reputable and sustainable businesses who wouldn't just keep my money without any recourse or explanation. They wouldn't blatantly violate the terms of service that they themselves wrote (biased as they already are).

But in fact these crypto aggregators make their money exactly by enabling and protecting miscreants like FixedFloat, and many others.
