Volet former ADVCash freezing user funds - Be Aware

Volet exchange, formerly ADVcash seems to block withdrawals of users. If you have an account there or funds there, maybe best to double check if you can withdraw them. Not your keys, not your coins - as always.

From Giacomo Zucco:

ALERT: VoletCom seems to be stealing user funds!

Details:
While I dislike and generally avoid KYC off-ramps, preferring p2p exchange whenever it's feasible, for reasons of convenience I did use this one on a few occasions. The first few transactions to fund a USD Mastercard went fine, but a few weeks ago their support desk refused to credit a couple of thousands USD worth of Bitcoin deposit, and they are currently refusing to give me back my money either. The "condition" they require, in order to return the loot, is an impossible chainanal challenge: giving them on-chain "proof of origin" of any single output involved in the tx graph of my funding transaction. My suspicion is that the "task" is intentionally designed to be impossible to comply with, in order to rug-pull users.

I'll keep you updated in the coming weeks.

"Why do you on the one hand claim giacomozucco's coins were "dirty", yet were happy to commingle them with other customer funds? Seem to me by your own standards you just put all your customers at risk with "dirty" coins...
