This seems like a Non-notable cryptocurrency exchange. All the coverage of it the article is extremely trivial, for instance a bank closing their account, and I wasn't able to find anything that would pass WP:NCORP in a before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamant1 (talk • contribs)

However, the user writing this text now disagrees with the notion that this is a non-notable cryptocurrency exchange, since he and many other users had significant money stolen by or through it. The entry should remain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.113.248.72 (talk • contribs)

The fact that you had money stolen does not mean it is notable. Dozens and dozens of cryptocurrency articles have been robbed, it is quite common. What is the point of covering every single robbery with an article? --Ysangkok (talk) 16:21, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I agree with nominator. --Ysangkok (talk) 05:23, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:MILL - an ordinary "crypto" exchange that existed for a few months. We are not a free web-host to list every single exchange ever, nor every online scam, which must be in the thousands. Sorry that anybody lost money, but our mission is not to warn people about scams - that's what the Better Business Bureau does, or for the attorney general. Caveat emptor.
