The OKEx exchange was again in the spotlight this Friday. First, information was received about questionable operations with bitcoin futures, and later it was added that a trader whose position, estimated at several million dollars, was eliminated, threatened to commit suicide in front of the company's office, claiming that the liquidation was made illegally. This is reported by News BTC.
“你别动!你往后退!我要见徐明星,叫徐明星过来!”杨勇拿着敌敌畏情绪失控。在OKcoin和OKex上,他损失超1100万元。他8个月的孩子过世,妻子提出离婚,公司岌岌可危。第一次来时,徐明星说:“你带两瓶敌敌畏,我和你一人一瓶干了。”@AI财经社 https://t.co/891uqn6cRx pic.twitter.com/wt8W7jco6v

According to Coin Panda on Twitter, as a result of operations on the exchange, the Chinese trader lost about $ 10 million in bitcoins. The liquidation was caused by a 30-40% drop of the bitcoin futures price for a short time. Traders, which don't use stop order daily weren't ready for this.
According to Coin Panda, a man who does not agree with this policy, came to the OKEx office with a bottle of dichlorophos, and promised to drink it. Whether he made any demands is unknown.
OKEx has not yet commented on the situation, but earlier the company acknowledged the fact of manipulating the price of futures and promised to roll back all transactions until the first suspicious application was placed.
