Given how bad some of these centralized exchanges have been over the years, I can't imagine this is true.
1. Africrypt - 3.6B USD, founders disappeared

2. Bitfinex 36% haircut hack
(https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bitfinex-hacked-hongkong-idUSKCN10I06H https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bitfinex-hacked-hongkong-...) - not to mention being in bed with Tether for a long time.
3. MtGox... the list goes on.
- dkersten 5y agoWhat has that got to do with BitMEX? The question that was asked was: >> They [BitMEX] have consistently been by far the shadiest and scummiest 'exchange' around. > Can you provide some context for people who's not in the loop? Your examples show some negatives of cryptocurrencies, but none of them have anything to do with BitMEX and therefore don't answer the question asked.
- gruez 5y agoI think his point is that given that other exchanges have done much worse (eg. running away with customers' funds, customers getting 36% haircut), the fact that bitmex hasn't done those things (presumably, I haven't been keeping up to date) means that they can't be the scummiest.
- dkersten 5y agoOh, I see. The other exchanges were much worse so BitMEX couldn't be shadiest and scummiest around. I stand corrected.
