This is after customers have claimed that their ability to withdraw money is being limited while former employees are claiming that they have yet to be paid the salary owed.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">As a result, its Chinese X account has called for an independent third party to verify all users&#8217; wallets, assets, liabilities, and reserves held at BitMart.
