  I wanted to buy a VPN so I needed some crypto. Decided to make an account on Binance, three days ago.

  - They wouldn’t accept my email+binance@provider.com address;

  - They wanted to verify my ID and told me I’d take 10 days;

  - I decided to go on another exchange and finished everything up in like 5 minutes;

  - Binance has been spamming me since to complete my verification, with no ‘unsubscribe’ button.

  How the hell did people hold their life savings in this dump?

  Article says $100M. Why does the title here say $600M?

  $100M crypto thefts are like every other Thursday, right?

  I left binance and staked my crypto instead. Binance customer service does not exist and their website and app are broken.
