🚨 Thodex: Turkey’s Crypto Nightmare
Thodex, once Turkey’s top crypto exchange, launched in 2017 with big promises—secure trading, high liquidity, and influencer-backed hype. It became a major player with billions in volume and hundreds of thousands of users.
But in April 2021, the dream collapsed.
🚫 Trading suddenly halted
🚫 CEO Faruk Fatih Özer fled with $2+ billion
🚫 400,000+ users locked out of their funds
🚫 Interpol issued a Red Notice
🚫 Financial audits revealed fraud and missing reserves
👉 It was a full-scale exit scam—planned, coordinated, and devastating.
💥 Impact:
Investors lost life savings
Lawsuits piled up
Turkey tightened crypto regulations
📚 Lessons:
Self-custody is essential
Don’t trust unregulated platforms
Always Do Your Own Research (DYOR)
Regulation can protect—not restrict
Thodex wasn’t just a failure. It was a wake-up call.
