This is from 23 days ago, Poloniex are scamers:
@Sotros25 can you post a tweet inviting them to give people a chance to withdraw their money now that they’ve synced and turned on their nodes?

@Dimitar Maybe you could urge them to contact Bitrex to prevent their coins from being sold off. Well I suppose that still does not help them recover them. Polo is a terrible company!

If these victims are US customers who had their MAID before Poloniex banned American people, this would become a fatal blow for them as the CFTC would get involved regardless of their bullshit jurisdiction.

Btw, you can see the Users’ T&C before Justin Sun’s takeover:
And how it has been amended after his acquisition:
Find the difference…
(Hint: it starts with class…)
PS: He has planned all this since the beginning.

Good catch!
Also don’t forget the real underhanded behavior was after Circle’s acquisition, and before Sun’s. That is, they locked accounts pending verification before when they announced that they would.
IMHO, Circle engaged in conversion (felony) and resold stolen property to Sun.
Poloniex (during Circle’s ownership) also claimed that unclaimed coins/tokens would be returned to the state of residence as abandoned property. It’d be interesting to know if the stolen property was in fact sold with Poloniex as an asset to Sun.
I do have legal standing here, so if @dirvine wishes to go nuclear I can participate. Personally, I’ve already written the substantial loss off, and would prefer that development not be distracted whatsoever.

Usually the funds in locked accounts can be recovered. I don’t remember well what happened at the time.
BTW, the Class Action Waiver might be invalid:
Poloniex doesn’t force you to scroll through the Terms when you sign up, and I am not sure if they keep sending reminders of the newer terms. It’s been a while since I used it. It may be possible to challenge the validity of the terms.
I wonder that, wherever this ultimately leads, if I could finally get back a decent computer’s worth of MAID that I accidentally sent to a Polo-generated “BTC address” in 2017—instead of getting back two human responses’ worth of time-waste, saying that nothing can be done, when it would’ve taken less time to transfer it back than to type that nothing can be done. But everyone else’s first!

Quick update on yesterdays conversation:
- I’ve informed Bittrex on the matter and requested to lock the address pending investigation
- I’ve contacted Poloniex, they initially gave me some bullshit answer, the matter has now been forwarded to a team to investigate and they will get back to me. I’ll keep you guys posted.

If poloniex can move them to bittrex, they can move them back to customers. No excuse.

I totally agree. Although I still want to be a bit careful with false accusations. It is still possible they actually returned 800k MAID to the rightful owner, and it could be possible they forgot to liquidate their accumulated trading fee (after all they delisted us in such a rush). Anyway, they sure as hell got some explanation to do.

Yeah, I think it is best not to make too strong interpretations with the scarce information we have.
