White Whale Ends MEXC Advisory Offer, Citing Fund Seizures and ‘Meaningless’ Proof of Reserves

He says asset snapshots without audited liabilities mislead users, coinciding with reports of erased account histories after confiscations.

Overview

  • The crypto trader announced on X that he is withdrawing his unpaid offer to advise MEXC, calling proposed reforms insincere.
  • He argues the exchange’s Proof of Reserves shows assets only and lacks independently verified liabilities, which he describes as deceptive marketing.
  • He alleges a user reported a $4,000 confiscation under Risk Control Guidelines that rely on terms like “suspected,” enabling permanent seizures.
  • He says the exchange erased that user’s transaction history after the seizure, making it harder to challenge the action.
  • He says he sought a mutual NDA in talks but rejected a non-disparagement clause and urged MEXC to refer suspected crimes to law enforcement instead of holding customer funds.
