I am not the author of this article, however, I can confirm that all of the information is true. I am a VBit Mining / Advanced Mining customer. I have been for about a year now. They have not let me make a withdrawal of my bitcoin since June 1st. It took us weeks to get a response. I am hoping that I get a refund on my purchased equipment and hosting as they mention, however I am not very hopeful. Not your miner, not your hashrate. Not your keys, not your coins.
