OK I'll add my name to the list of those defrauded:
drmavis --> 0.47139382 BTC "invested"
These types of situations make me so frustrated - is CEX.IO the only LEGIT cloud mining service out there that isn't a ponzi/scam? Maybe Scrypt.cc too?
I like the idea of cloud mining or buying shares of expensive hardware and letting someone else with cheaper electricity manage it, but all of these scams are making me want to just order equipment myself (though they have their fair share of scams).
I don't even think CEX is the great thing everyone is making it out to be. There is also the issue that once something becomes big enough, the incentive to steal the funds gets very big and probably becomes harder to resist.
