Is Anyone Else Concerned About Poloniex?

[Xilobyte]

The registrar for Poloniex.com lives in NJ. He is the likely correct guy on the whois data as he is still within a 3hr radius of the DE HQ.  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=8830110&lst=100010036663125%3A8830110%3A1498711261&sk=about

So now we have used a little bit of public data to piece together a small trail.   Keep in mind that there is still no positive link to this guy from Polo. So dont go beating him up but this at least a start. It only took 10 min to collect this little bit of data and the website and ip still have not been traced to the home computers. This is how you start an investigation privately on an exchange in the US when questionable.  There are many other resources too. The important part is to DOX as many as possible to include employees and Corporate board members in the event that they run.  You could also just ask them  Enjoy...

Thanks for spending your time looking at this @Xilobyte  living outside the US this will give me a few ideas in the future when looking into exchanges/ US businesses! Love the investigative work!

I don't like to jump to conclusions and for the good of the crypto community, I really do hope the businesses primary issues relate to communication/ transparency. These problems can always be addressed, whereas if Polo has security/ financial /major regulatory issue this will have widespread repercussions for the broader community. 

Safest bet will always be to keep your funds away from any exchange and if you actively trade ensure the funds you hold on exchanges are consistent with your risk profile (willing to loose everything).

True there is no reason to jump to conclusions. However these are all flags that either they do not know what they are doing or they are and have no intentions of being transparent enough to cover their butts. So better safe then sorry.
