Requiring people to bring you new clients before you get employed and not compensating them is illegal in many places. Maybe not the UK.

They don't disclose that you can not transfer in or out.

> Keeping a firewall between customers and company by only allowing communication via app chatbot

I had to deal with this. If your app doesn't work you are screwed. There is no email, no phone.

What does this even mean in the real world though? You can instantly transfer your crypto back to fiat and have it in your bank account virtually instantly, which is better than any crypto exchange I’ve ever heard of. I’ll take this over Last Days of Mtgox any day...
