They have and continue to steal millions in steem and sbd. The current amount that they have stolen is actually closer to 40 Million USD... The exact methods that they have used is rife with deceit.

They have and continue to accept Steem and SBD to be sent to their account which is to be then deposited into your Poloniex account for the purpose of trading or exchanging. Instead of doing this they are holding hostage the funds received. The funds neither get refunded nor deposited into the trade accounts. There are literally millions currently like this for almost 1 full week. The users that are affected make up about 1/7 of the total Steem economy. By limiting the amount of Steem That can be traded by 1/7 they have artificial manipulated the markets. The people whose funds are being held hostage also are not drawing interest on their funds or able to make trades on these funds.

There has been zero response from Poloniex or Steemit about this with thousands of members impacted. They have stolen these funds for the time being and should be prosecuted for this theft. If you disagree please send all of your Steem and SBD to me @binkley for holding for as long as I see fit. Thank you

I have been writing about it for a while now...Others finally seen how catastrophic it is...
