BitMart founder rejected the audit request and the user reported that the funds were blocked

The founder of BitMart, Sheldon Lee, rejected the request for an audit, stating that some users were unable to withdraw funds and that some employees had not paid their July salaries. Lee stated that BitMart ' s Chinese account had been hacked and called on him and his business partner, Yi Li, to open the books to an independent body, including wallets, assets, liabilities and available reserves, and to give a response deadline until 19 August. Last month, BitMart announced that it would cease operations and that 26 August would be the final date of the deal. Many user reports remain blocked. In its response, Lee did not respond directly to the request, but referred to the hacking, stating that evidence had been gathered and would be reported to the police. With regard to unpaid employee salaries, Lee indicated that employee assets did not take precedence over customer assets。
