Update: MEXC Attempts To Lure The White Whale To Meet In Person...For Potentially Sinister Reasons?? I received an email from MEXC (with my anti-phishing code and from their official domain). I triple-verified - it was authentic. The email claimed: “Our leadership team attaches great importance to cooperation with you and is very much looking forward to having a one-on-one communication with you to deeply understand your needs and expectations. To this end, we sincerely invite you to have in-depth communication with the leadership team.” They asked me to verify my TG ID. Once I did, I wasn’t met by a “leadership team.” Just one person: their Global Head of Customer Service - whose identity I confirmed through multiple channels including other MEXC employees. Then came the punchline: he insisted I travel to Malaysia to “complete KYC in person.” Let’s be clear. I’ve already done every form of KYC they’ve ever asked for: live video, address verification, phone number, multiple identity layers. Their own Terms of Service contain zero mention of any requirement for in-person KYC. Crypto kidnappings are on the rise - why would someone with over $100M on-chain ever agree to fly to another country and enter the lion’s den of an organization he's publicly protesting against? When I rejected the idea, his reply was telling: “But I understood that you have sought to expedite the unfreezing of your account.” Translation: If you want your funds, get on a plane. This is not compliance. This is coercion. What MEXC is attempting here isn’t “verification.” It’s intimidation dressed up as procedure. They are inventing roadblocks that don’t exist in their own rulebook, while dangling access to my rightful funds like ransom. If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. The question now is simple: How long will the industry turn a blind eye while exchanges resort to tactics that belong in crime thrillers, not capital markets? I know we’ve got their attention. Maybe we just haven’t been loud enough yet. I told him to come back to me when MEXC was ready to be serious. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋
