Update: MEXC Attempts To Lure The White Whale To Meet In Person...For Potentially Sinister Reasons??
I received an email from MEXC (with my anti-phishing code and from their official domain). I triple-verified - it was authentic.
The email claimed:
“Our leadership team attaches great importance to cooperation with you and is very much looking forward to having a one-on-one communication with you to deeply understand your needs and expectations. To this end, we sincerely invite you to have in-depth communication with the leadership team.”
They asked me to verify my TG ID. Once I did, I wasn’t met by a “leadership team.” Just one person: their Global Head of Customer Service - whose identity I confirmed through multiple channels including other MEXC employees.
Then came the punchline: he insisted I travel to Malaysia to “complete KYC in person.”
Let’s be clear.
I’ve already done every form of KYC they’ve ever asked for: live video, address verification, phone number, multiple identity layers.
Their own Terms of Service contain zero mention of any requirement for in-person KYC.
Crypto kidnappings are on the rise - why would someone with over $100M on-chain ever agree to fly to another country and enter the lion’s den of an organization he's publicly protesting against?
When I rejected the idea, his reply was telling:
“But I understood that you have sought to expedite the unfreezing of your account.”
Translation: If you want your funds, get on a plane.
This is not compliance. This is coercion.
What MEXC is attempting here isn’t “verification.” It’s intimidation dressed up as procedure. They are inventing roadblocks that don’t exist in their own rulebook, while dangling access to my rightful funds like ransom. If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone.
The question now is simple: How long will the industry turn a blind eye while exchanges resort to tactics that belong in crime thrillers, not capital markets?
I know we’ve got their attention. Maybe we just haven’t been loud enough yet. I told him to come back to me when MEXC was ready to be serious.

I Need Your Help - And I'm Putting a $2M Bounty Up For Grabs (half can be claimed by YOU)
Let me start by saying - "I know, I was dumb" (more on that in the FAQs, but no need to comment how dumb I was - I just beat you to it)
In July 2025, @MEXC_Official froze over $3 million of my funds. $3,158,572.32 to be precise.
No warning. No explanation. No Terms of Service violation - because there was none.
That money came from my hard-earned savings, and every dollar I earned on the platform came from clean, legitimate, skill-based trading. My only conceivable offense? I was too profitable. (in the long list of public replies to other traders who experienced the same thing I was able to find ONE instance where they accidentally admitted this as a potential cause).
I consistently beat their external market makers - the firms they quietly partner with to be the counter-party to trades (this is public record).
When the counter-party they need in order to stay in business consistently looses? Who's side do you think they will pick?
So what did MEXC do?
They retaliated.
They froze my account.
And now, they’ve told me the “review process” will take up to one full year.
Let that sink in:
No specific allegation
No evidence of wrongdoing
Just a vague “review” that conveniently lets them hold my money hostage indefinitely
What kind of review takes 12 months - without a single update, document, or charge?
You see I had already been through their most advanced KYC process possible and passed with flying colors.
But this is bigger than me. It’s about every trader who’s ever been punished for winning, punished for exposing CEX dirty little secrets, or robbed by a centralized exchange hiding behind offshore protections in jurisdictions with limited legal recourse.
We are not your exit liquidity. We are not your prey. We are the tide. And the tide is turning.

@moneygurusumit sounds like a post about the market conditions for the past few days? Thank you very much for a message that is still relevant no matter how long it has been posted
They were shy when I requested them for their autographs, which I am proudly holding.
But they are the true real-life heroes Manoj Kumar Sharma, IPS and his wife Shraddha Joshi, IRS. The extraordinary couple on whose lives the movie #12thFail is based.
Over lunch today, I learned that the film’s narrative is true to their real stories. And they continue practising their philosophy of living a life of scrupulous integrity.
If India is to become a global power, it will happen more rapidly if more people adopt their way of life.
So they are the real celebrities of this country. And their autographs are heirlooms.
I am a wealthier man today, for having met them.
