Crypto exchange OKEx continues to give little information to customers after halting digital asset withdrawals in mid-October.

Customers still do not have access to withdrawal features three weeks after they were taken away, causing rumors to fly. While the exchange has denied rumors of detainment, it has failed to provide alternate explanations.

"Claims that a concerned party related to OKEx is under criminal detention have been refuted — we can confirm that these are rumors," OKEx said in a public announcement today.

On the day of the withdrawal suspension, the exchange announced that one member of its team is assisting a public security bureau in an investigation.
