KuCoin Allegedly Refuses to Pay $2M Court Award Over Delisted Token — Here's Why It Matters for Exchange Trust
(112 days ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto
An investor claims that KuCoin has failed to honor a $2 million award stemming from a court dispute over a delisted token. The case reportedly involves a Seychelles court order, raising questions about the enforceability of legal judgments against offshore crypto exchanges.

It's a reminder to research where your exchange is based and what protections you actually have as a customer.
