Depositors who have not been able to return their funds for many weeks say that employees of the exchange's office in the Federation Tower of the Moscow City complex have been offering to sign an agreement since May 12. On April 30, the board of directors changed, the text says, and an audit of client accounts was launched.
"During the audit, critical violations committed by the previous director were revealed. The money deposited under the previous leadership is not available for withdrawal in full," the authors of the text of the agreement admit.To get at least something, the exchange, according to the text, offers customers to sign an agreement: 100% of each user's assets will be converted into special digital financial assets (CFAs, that is, just tokens) Beribit. Conversion: 1 ruble – 1 CFA Beribit. We are talking about assets in rubles, bitcoins, ethers, USDT, TRX, BNB – in volume as of April 26.
There is even an approximate payment schedule:
Meanwhile, there is no information about any agreement in the official Beribit telegram channel, and administrators continue to post lists of people who have already received payments in full. Subscribers of the channel complain in the comments that the technical support service is overwriting their messages.
"Robbery in its purest form. At first, there were speeches that everyone would be paid, and even with compensation at the Central Bank rate, and as a result, one fifth in money, and the rest in wrappers. You have to be a complete idiot to sign such a thing," one of the contributors wrote in response to a question from a Bits. media journalist.
The difficulties for Beribit depositors began shortly after the exchange's office was searched by law enforcement officers. Law enforcement officers were looking for traces of crypto transfers to people suspected of the March 26 terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall.
Berybit customers previously reported that representatives of the exchange swore to return all funds to them by May 2, 2024 inclusive.
