A user did not get Bitcoin Cash coins after a hardfork that took place a year ago. The value of the first cryptocurrency has dropped to $7000.

A cryptocurrency investor from China Feng Bin sued the trading platform OkCoin because he couldn’t get coins, that appeared as a result of the bitcoin hardfork that took place last year. Representatives of the exchange said that he did not have time to apply in due time.

This is the first trial in China associated with a cryptocurrency fork. At the beginning of December 2017, the user tried to withdraw 38 coins of Bitcoin Cash but did not find a button on the website to carry out the transaction.

Bin contacted representatives of the company. They reported that the cryptocurrency distribution program had already been removed from the site, and that he would not be able to get his coins. The investor noted that the exchange did not announce the terms in which it is necessary to conduct a transaction with the bitcoin fork.

Now the user wants to get cryptocurrency and compensation of $25 thousand from the exchange for not being able to sell BCH at the historical maximum. Representatives of the exchange consider Feng’s trading activity suspicious, as he has not made any transactions in 2017.
