HOW DOES MEXC STEAL MONEY FROM ITS USERS? I'LL TELL YOU. Below are screenshots of me trading the #BAS coin. I analyzed the coin and decided to short it. At first, I got knocked out, then I re-entered and scalped the coin repeatedly. I suffered losses, but I recouped them all and ended up with a nice profit. An hour after the trade, MEX blocked my account and froze my funds, preventing withdrawals.
