I picked up an ex4200 with firmware version 12.3R3.4 on ebay a several months ago (long enough that I cannot return it) and made the mistake of not checking it out right away. Finally got around to trying to conf it up for a pet project today. I did a factory reset and can log in, but the default config is empty:

and any config I try to set it won't let me save, the entire cli crashes:

Because of my post history in r/Binance I periodically get people that DM me asking about ways to recover their funds from Binance after Binance has dropped the KYC hammer on them. There are lots of reasons people can't meet the KYC requirements, typically either they don't have the docs that Binance asks for (an example, I kid you not: "What was the IP address you used when you first signed up?") or they don't want to give the docs to Binance on principal. (What jurisdiction are they in again? How many times have they been compromised? Can I trust them with my passport or other sensitive documents?)

I had yet another such discussion today with someone that had a significant amount

I was just banned from r/Binance for posting about my KYC experience in support of another user that was recently going through the same thing.

No biggie, but that they are banning people for sharing truth is indicative of a pretty serious culture problem at the exchange in light of their recent CoinMarketCap acquisition, among other things:

Respected Legislators,

I grew up in Eastern Oregon and I have been an owner / operator of an Oregon based business since 1996 - started while in school at university.  I am Oregonian through and through.

Now the failure of our governing bodies to provide adequately for the safety of my family and all Oregon families risks destroying everything I have worked the last 25 years to build.  It starts at the top, where much of it is out of your control, but there is still plenty that COULD have been done and STILL MUST BE DONE within our own borders in Oregon.

I must protect my family.  I must provide for and protect the future of my wife and children.

I will have no choice but to lay off st

I wrote this up over the weekend. Having run an exchange before and having to shut it down, it pains me greatly to still be reading about people losing their funds. Hopefully this will give you all a few other things that might be warning signs, from the perspective of an ex-exchange operator.
