Oh damn, another reason to keep the sound money protocol simple so that people won't go chasing scams.

Actually, they come to us for help after they've tried every possible way to withdraw. The pretense that they want to become our customers is just a thinly veiled lie in the hope that we're able to "hack" this "exchange" and recover their bitcoins.
