Cryptsy.com scammed me out of thousands of dollars worth of crypto coins

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago  (edited)

A couple of years ago when cryptsy.com was around i invested in several coins (Ether,Bitcoin, Dogecoins ect). I had over 1 million Dogecoins in their exchange and 1 million Earthcoins before the owner Paul Vernon decided to steal everyone coins and flee to china. Thankfully i saw early signs that the exchange was going under and decided to remove my bitcoin and ether. There is a class action lawsuit against Paul Vernon that i will be participating in. i lost all of my Doge and Earthcoins after leaving my coins in that exchange. I learned to never leave my coins on an exchange unless it is for trading.

Thats terrebal look cuckely I did not go with them.

Good job seeing the early red flags and getting some of your coins out.

you should always control the private keys.

yes you are right

true -- but you have to "hand them over" in order to trade, else you coins are only sitting there and do nothing, and that is precisely when FatVern struck (by delaying, later disabling, most payouts claiming "attacks", and all sorts of "difficulties" until it was too late...

interesting to hear that the class action is gathering steam now. I am among the victims of Mr Vernon myself. Do you have any information as to whether or not it is the Law offices of Mr Silverman who are still on that case and how to get in touch with them or join that class action? Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

I email the lawyer with all of the estimate amount of coins through the cryptsy webstie three days ago i got no information after that. Not expecting to get anything out of the lawsult the scumbag is still in china i think

You had until may 17 to join the class action lawsuit that was the deadline
