Clients Concerns with Beribit Exchange Withdrawals
Clients of the Beribit cryptocurrency exchange have been experiencing serious difficulties with withdrawing their funds in recent weeks. Users express concerns that the company may intentionally delay the payout process or even not return the funds to those who held assets in digital currencies. As a result, many affected individuals are discussing the possibility of making a repeat visit to the exchange’s office in «Moscow-City» to demand the return of their money.
Delayed Payments and Frozen Accounts
The lease agreement for Beribit’s office space in the «Federation» tower expires on May 9, 2024, however, the company’s accounts remain frozen. The promised payments, which were supposed to start on May 2, were received by only eleven people. The Beribit team claims that account audits and verification of client balances are being conducted around the clock and should be completed soon. Company representatives explain the delays by stating that numerous violations were identified during the verification process, which need to be thoroughly investigated before payouts can commence.
Law Enforcement Investigations and Client Suspicion
Additionally, there have been recent searches conducted in the Beribit office by law enforcement officers. These actions may be related to crypto transactions linked to individuals accused of a terrorist attack at the «Crocus City Hall» entertainment complex in the Moscow region on March 22, 2024. This connection further amplifies clients’ suspicions and creates additional tension surrounding the payout situation.
