Bitget insolvency rumors
On Jan. 10, multiple users on X claimed that senior Bitget executives had allegedly disappeared. The user called MMCrypto, known for previously promoting Bitget, summarized the multiple posts in one statement.
He expressed concerns about the exchange based on information from various sources. Emphasizing that his intention is not to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), MMcrypto suggested that users who feel uneasy might consider withdrawing their funds due to the unconfirmed evidence at hand.
