Today's changes in terms and conditions were strange to say the least. Newsite Merkle noted today:
"The biggest change of all was made to Poloniex’s Arbitration section of the ToS. There have been quite a few rumors circulating regarding the potential insolvency of the Poloniex exchange. According to the new terms, all users trading on the platform waive their right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration."
This together with the events of last week do not sit well with many investors.
Stay tuned for more updates when available.
