Users in our community are frustrated their coins have been locked up on this exchange since the unannounced and sudden mandate for additional verification.
I have received reports from folks who had been successful in completing the KYC / AML requirements. I have also received reports from folks who did not have their accounts flagged and are able to still use the service without submitting to additional BSA related nonsense.
Other users, who were smart enough not to share their personal information with Trade Satoshi initially - found that despite completing the verification in good faith, they remain locked out of their account because the initial personal details did not precisely match the provided identity documentation.
DON´T USE THIS EXCHANGE, IT IS SCAM, GOOGLE "Tradesatoshi bitcointalk" AND SEE!
ps. sorry about caps, but everybody need see it! and some in same country should call the police for that guys.
I've been there for years, with over 1,000 trades and never had any real issues apart from shit support and a demented set of trollbox rules. Loved the place: it was shitcoin heaven, with loads of cheap coins to play with.
Then they decided... something. I don't know what they're trying to do over there but the whole place has gone to hell. 75+ coins delisted in about a month, many without good reason (from discussions on a variety of channels) and some without the possibility of withdrawal (on working wallets - lost over 5 million coins on one because TS was messed up, nothing wrong with the wallet).
Then they suddenly inflict KYC randomly on people, with no possibility of adjusting your profile (and seriously, how many people have their real info in there when all it needs is a name and nothing else?) and requiring that the details on your ID match perfectly.
Their recent changes and fundamentally flawed KYC process just resulted in them keeping all my money, despite my ability to provide ID to prove who I am and everything else. Support has always been awful but they've recently taken a turn for the psychotic, refusing to help, refusing to fix stuff, refusing everything.
I always assumed people who had trouble there were just stupid or deliberately trying to scam or something. Not so. I'm totally legit (and KYC-passed on a multitude of other exchanges), have been there for years and just got fucked up the poop-chute by this thieving bunch of scum.
Get out now, while you still can.
Yes, it is the reason for what i never will use TS like an exchange, I can confirm what you are talking about, similar issue happened with me too.
And i saw someone in Reddit TS talking about it, so i answered his thread and min after he got banned from Reddit Tradesatoshi channel, and i got banned too for ask why that guy was banned LOL
Seems like TS hidden all the illegal activities from the people removing forum threads, when possible ofcourse, reason for what some people still using that crap.
