Prominent cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex has come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks. A Russian Telegram channel indicates that a customer was accidentally forwarded passport documentation and other sensitive data for users of the exchange in an email generated by the exchange. Also, a number of Iranian traders claiming to have previously used the exchange are complaining that they have been blocked from using the platform and thus rendered unable to withdraw funds held on Bittrex. Lastly, a self-confessed market manipulator has claimed to purchase a Tesla with profits generated by conducting altcoin pump-n-dumps on the exchange.
