BitMart’s mysterious Chinese account is now summoning founders Sheldon Lee and Yi Li to spill the secrets on locked user funds plus missing employee paychecks, setting a firm deadline of August 19 for public answers 🌑.
The eerie message also insists on clear wallet proofs and a step-by-step payout scheme as doubts swirl around missing exchange holdings 🖤.
BitMart’s Frozen Vault Ordeal Unfolds 🕸️
In an August 17 post the account shared that countless traders still face blocked withdrawals while some staff await unpaid final checks.
“This isn’t some business dispute that can be brushed off with a single ‘ceasing operations’ statement,” it wrote.
It demands real-time wallet snapshots, asset lists, debt totals and reserve data, plus explanations on who paused withdrawals and the exact moment leaders learned about the withdrawal nightmare 🔪.
The thread also probes whether deposits kept flowing after withdrawal glitches surfaced, alongside investigations into linked accounts and trusts holding BitMart cash. It flags potential Yi Li wallets that may have cleared tens of millions in batches 🦇.
The account stresses these claims remain unproven and warns against jumping to criminal conclusions, yet it still wants full source and destination details on any suspect transfers.
Employee wages stay central too, noting that regular workers never controlled the money flows or shutdown timing, so full compensation is owed.
The August 19 cutoff also requires a full repayment blueprint covering leftover assets, total liabilities, user recovery estimates, payout sequence, timelines, oversight setup and possible audits.
Sheldon Lee answered via tweet calling the cited material “fabricated rumors,” adding that evidence was gathered for a police report during US business hours plus a legal notice to X for forensics.
Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT wondered aloud why BitMart refuses to simply release funds if liquidity truly exists, blasting the opacity around user access.
Later Lee claimed via update that the account was hacked and the posts came from outsiders, not current staff.
Shutdown Clock Tightens The Defi Noose 🌹
This clash lands just before BitMart’s planned exit, after a July 26 notice told users trading ends August 26 with full closure set for January 31, 2027.
That move puts BitMart next to other platforms bowing out amid rough markets, such as BitMEX halting by September 23. Analysts view these closures as part of a wider cleanup cycle.
