Update on the overnight system maintenance:
1. Funds are safe. 
2. The maintenance will likely take 24-48 hours 
What happened? See thread below.

- DB issue on Exchange caused an outage (root cause still being investigated)
- some users took advantage of the outage to manipulate ETH/USDT price
- they locked in gains by selling to other coins en masse 
- tried to withdraw, were blocked by risk systems

Since the risk systems kicked-in almost immediately, our monetary loss from this event is negligible.

How is this going to be resolved?
- some illegitimate trades will be reversed and balances restored 
- it& #39;s a complex, time consuming process, hence long downtime

My apologies to all our users.

The team will be on it 24/7 until we are back online. 

We will learn from this outage and strengthen all systems accordingly. We will be posting regular updates as we get a more accurate timeline to resume trading.
