Surprised that customer positions aren't considered loans with first rights over all other lenders in a bankruptcy proceeding. The company shouldn't be playing around with these, but based on this statement it sounds like they are doing something odd and trying to run a fractional reserve system, or leveraging customer deposits for other high risk activity such that the money may not be there.
Makes me think that I should move my crypto back to my own wallet/sell the crypto.
- post-it 4y agoYou probably should. You wouldn't give Coinbase your SSH private keys, crypto keys are no different.

- svnt 4y agoYou should. Crypto is about to prove (again) why banking needs regulatory bodies.
