Last year, the FBI and Interpol have seized four domains of Joker’s Stash and sent shocks to everyone trading in it. Tough Joker’s Stash admins clarified that the seized domains are just the proxies, and do nothing except redirecting visitors to the original site, their seizure has broken the customers’ confidence.
Also, the user experience is gradually degrading with more complaints on the quality of payment card data. This started when the admin of the site left the marketplace dormant for a week when he was infected with COVID-19 last year. May the admins have learned that law enforcement would stamp them eventually, thus closing with pride now.
The date, as of February 15th, 2021, has given the customers exactly a month to spend all their balances. And for partners, Joker’s Stash assured that all would get their payouts before shutting down. Also, it has warned customers to be aware of possible imposters in the future, as they strongly said that they’re not returning!
