Re: Bitfinex trying to steal my $700K?

Last week support at last resolved my issue. It was a technical problem. I flipped a long BTCUSD long position into a short position. Original funding cost in USD was applied to the new positions to the same amount but in BTC. Bitfinex resolved it more than fairly - they closed my short 21 BTC position at the price when I tried to close it manually ($3999.1). So they are definitely not stealers, but you have to wait for ages for reply from support.

Bitfinex is experiencing big problems with platform and support. They stole my money either (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2108171.0). It's sad they can do whatever they want with the client's coins, and we are unable even to speak with them.

Does anybody know their phone number? Three days passed, no responce from support. I still have unclosable position and awful negative balance on my account.
Their whois records list +62 9963419 however I highly doubt it's actually a valid number or a number they would pick up.
Thank you, but it's not their phone number. It's their domain registrar's one (DYNAMIC NETWORK SERVICES, INC)

Resolved?
No, support didn't respond. I created ticket, sent email to support@bitfinex.com, but there's no reply from any source.

Yesterday i opened a new margin position, sold 21 BTC. At that time i had 48 BTC in my margin wallet, 41 of them were free. Just after that I recieved notification about low margin, but decided to keep position, because I had enough money in my wallets. Today i have 178 BTC funding cost, for 21 BTC position - 847% per day!!!

So now I have  -$428K in my balance.
 
Support doesn't answer.

How this could happen? What shold I do? Is Bitfinex trying to steal my money?


Resolved or not, be careful of any fly-by-night offers you might receive by pm or offers to help resolve it via Skype.

When so many bitcoins are mentioned, you will attract just as many (if not more) unwanted attention from dishonest people on this platform. Some are calculating and manipulative fraudsters so be careful.

Some of these fraudsters think we were all born yesterday and even if they know you are intelligent enough to be doing margin trades, they will still try find ways to scam you, probably hoping you might fall for it.

This is just a friendly advisory and reminder to stay safe at all times.



Thanks. I am aware of that kind of fraudsters.
