KuCoin took responsibility for my $300K liquidation and after a month of “we’ll fix it,” here’s what they finally offered me: To recover the money they caused me to lose, I need to generate: $700,000,000 to $1,000,000,000+ in referral trading volume so I can “earn it back” in commissions. Yes - their solution to a wrongful liquidation is: “Bring us a billion dollars in volume so you can fix our mistake.” Let that sink in. This wasn’t a normal loss. It wasn’t bad trading. It wasn’t a degen gamble gone wrong. It was a liquidation caused by broken infrastructure: KuCoin acknowledged all of this. They took responsibility. They told me they would work with me to resolve it. In the past month, I’ve done everything on my side, days of back and forth messaging and even took 2 IRL meetings with Kucoin. And after all that? Not even the fees I paid are refundable unless I bring them nine to ten figures worth of volume. If this is how an exchange handles a case they admit fault on, imagine how many users get brushed off when the situation isn’t escalated. I’m still waiting for a real resolution.




🤡 The Central Circus @TroveMarkets - Devs Showing Signs of SCAM 🔷 Built on Hyperliquid but Launching Token on Solana? - They started with a testnet on HyperEVM and successfully drew in the community for the ICO, but then the Trove devs made this super confusing move: constantly delaying refunds and deciding to launch the token on SOLANA instead. - If that's not hilarious enough, check out how the devs are using the money raised from the ICO. 🔷 ZachXBT Exposes Dev Team Using ICO Funds to Deposit into Casino Sites - And the KOL Booking Scheme Comes Out - After the announcement, ZachXBT asked the team why they were sending ICO money to casino platforms, and the team claimed it was probably @_TJRTrades - a KOL who's into gambling. - Notably, this account had previously posted a super obvious shill for buying $TROVE. => So there's proof the team booked KOLs with huge amounts of cash. - After checking the addresses, a bunch of KOLs got exposed, like @waleswoosh - a KOL who's often at the top on Kaito, who got $8k to blatantly shill the TROVE ICO. => What's really messed up is that this KOL didn't even add an ad tag or warn users. => They're treating their followers like products to sell for profit. - KOLs who put the TROVE logo in their names got up to $5k a month, plus the perk of buying $TROVE at just 50% of the community price. => Taking ads isn't wrong, but if you don't disclose it, it's easy to overhype and cause the community to lose money. Especially investing in projects like TROVE. 🔷 The Game's Over - $HYPE Getting Dumped - The TROVE team bought 500k $HYPE to build community trust and prove they'd use HIP-3 (which requires staking 500k $HYPE). - But right after the ICO sold out, the team started gradually selling off those $HYPE tokens, raising suspicions that the project is a slow rug.

🔷 Personal Experience - Lessons Learned - When I see KOLs blatantly shilling an ICO deal like this, I usually stay away. - Deals that are super easy to buy into and win often aren't worth it. - Don't trust KOLs on X, especially anonymous accounts. They don't care if you lose money; they only care about how much your follow is worth to them. Source: @5phutcrypto_
