Something Highly Weird, Read On...oh and this may be a multi-part series by the way. To be a legitimized Business in this field you need to be registered as a MSB or Money Services Business. So, moving on.....They are "registered" as a MSB , however upon further scrutiny there seems to be something AMISS with their registration "number"...31000055869515.
Now folks check it out if you try to find their MSB number https://www.fincen.gov/msb-registrant-search , there is NO RESULT! Wait Folks, apparently they did register or re-register with this number 31000091844018
Wow, interesting as it seems according to some watchdogs the numbers were not going through.
SOMETHING DOES NOT SEEM KOSHER! Also, https://olpi.info/2017/02/08/occ-fintech-charter/
Months ago some conversations occured where people were unable to withdrawl their funds for months and months on end. When their customers attempted to contact them they got dead ends, emails and tickets went unanswered for an absolutely unacceptable amount of time.
A simple Google search uncovered some very odd and illogical links and such. It seems very odd to many who had large, LARGE amounts of their money tied up with them that they could not even get their funds out or a call answered. The numbers led to nowhere, there was no physical office....and then there are things like this
WOW, now that link is magically not available, but here it is : https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2016.10.18-Our-request-for-no-action-relief/Poloniex-No-Action-Relief-Request-(10-18-2016).pdf
Now one name that came up with ZERO financial backround and is said to be a musician was literally a ghost in the machine. Couldn't find anything but a one sentence linkdin and a glossy pic. The Virtual Office is said to be registered in Delaware but again when customers tried to contact it was just more dead ends. This seems odd for an exchange dealing with such large volumes not to even respond for months to some of their largest clients don't you think?
