Cryptocurrency exchange BKEX announced that it has suspended the withdrawal of client funds while a police investigation is conducted in connection with possible money laundering by several users.
In a statement, the site stressed that it would cooperate as much as possible with law enforcement officials and regulators, and would try to restore functionality as soon as possible.
The BKEX team also promised to pay maximum attention to protecting the rights of users.
“We will maintain a transparent process and provide timely feedback during the investigation.
If you have any questions or need any other help, don’t hesitate to contact support,” the exchange said in a statement.
Users of the site were unhappy with this decision – they ask why everyone suffers because of the illegal actions of a few customers.
In addition, many are worried about the financial well-being of the company due to the crisis in the market.
However, representatives of BKEX promised that the withdrawal of funds will be restored soon and advised customers to be patient.
The BKEX exchange was founded in 2018 and is registered in the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands.
According to CoinMarketCap, trading volume on the site in the last 24 hours was $434 million.
