6 months ago KuCoin admitted fault for my $300K liquidation. Here's what happened since.
I took a Google Meet with their Head of Futures. I went to an in person meeting at Tribes in Dubai Mall with their Global Business Director. I sent 10+ proposals. I gave them every possible way to make this right.
On the call they took full responsibility. They admitted the liquidation was caused by broken infrastructure. Their platform failed and they said so themselves.
But here's the part that's hard to believe. Their Head of Futures couldn't understand basic futures mechanics. I had to explain how margin, liquidation and order book depth works to the person running the futures division at a top 10 exchange.
The person responsible for resolving my case didn't understand the product that caused it.
Their first offer: bring us $2.5 billion in trading volume and you can "earn it back." I did the math for them live in the chat. $10,000 per 100M volume. That's 0.01% return. To recover $250K I would need to generate the monthly volume of a top 50 institutional desk. For free.
I said no.
Their second offer was worse. $20K upfront, but only if I hit 1,000 active users and $300M in volume first. Then a $30K "cashback" that requires KuCoin's manual approval.
I said no again.
Their third offer was even worse than the second. $10K/month. Halved the numbers from the deal they already couldn't close. After an in person meeting. After a Google Meet. After weeks of negotiations.
Every single offer came with the same condition: delete the tweets, stop talking, and come work for us as a KOL. Promote the exchange that wrongfully liquidated me. Bring them users. Make them money. Then maybe they'd consider giving back what they took.
I told them in the chat: "It's like someone steal from me $250K and then tells me come work for me and you'll make it back (maybe)."
Their response? "Let me think about it."
Then silence. Weeks of silence. I had to chase them for every single reply. Christmas came and went and I gave them a final deadline January 6th. They came back with yet another lowball.
KuCoin had their Head of Futures, their Global Business Director, and multiple senior reps in this group chat. They all saw every message. They all went quiet when it mattered.
Today I'm releasing the full 30 minute Google Meet recording and the complete Telegram history. Every message. Every offer. Every time they went silent. You'll hear them admit fault and then watch them do nothing about it.
They had 6 months to make this right. They chose silence.
Video drops today.

“If Iran fails to accept reality that they have been defeated, Trump will hit harder.”
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface.
Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return.
The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox.
The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal.
Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space.
We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction.
The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.
