According to BlockBeats, on August 17th, BitMart founder Sheldon stated that he has completed the evidence collection regarding the public accountability statement previously released by BitMart employees through the official Twitter account, and claims that the content is all false information. Sheldon stated that he will report the matter to the police during the daytime (US time) and send a lawyer's letter to the X platform, demanding that they conduct technical and data evidence collection regarding the relevant content.

Sheldon also stated that employee assets do not take precedence over customer assets; everyone is a customer, and there are no special privileges. Previously, BitMart employees had publicly questioned the whereabouts of the platform's assets and their handling.

Sheldon had previously stated that he would respond to questions about the whereabouts of the platform's assets by the 19th.

According to BlockBeats, on August 17th, following Samsung, Western Digital, and Toshiba, SK Hynix has also been reported to be offering "refunds only, no replacements" for its SSDs. A Reddit user recently applied for warranty service for an SK Hynix SSD, but because the official store had no stock available for replacement, the final solution was not a replacement of the same model, but a refund based on the original purchase price.

This is particularly awkward given the current continuous rise in SSD prices. For example, the price of some capacities of products like the SK Hynix Platinum P4P51 has increased significantly compared to previous low prices, with some even reaching about double the price they were priced at the time. If an SSD purchased at a low price in the past now fails, and the user can only get their original purchase price back, they may no longer be able to afford a product of the same specifications.

More importantly, this approach is indeed based on SK Hynix's existing warranty terms. Their official website clearly states that if a product cannot be repaired or replaced, a refund will be issued based on the lower of the original purchase price and its current fair market value.

Therefore, a more accurate statement is not that SK Hynix has completely canceled SSD replacements, but rather that, due to a lack of replacement inventory, some after-sales cases will involve a full refund. For consumers, the problem is that with rising SSD prices, a full refund may not cover the cost of repurchasing a comparable product.
