Topic: Fixedfloat is scamming me for 8000+ EUR IMPORTANT PSA! - page 2. (Read 1320 times)

As soon as I saw the article that fixedfloat was "hacked" for this amount I thought, "this has to be an inside job" because of the amount. Why on earth would FixedFloat need $26m in hot wallet reserves to operate, let alone $2.6m? This makes no sense from an operational or security standpoint for a swapping platform like fixedfloat.

The status from WazzCrypto seems to infer that this was the case. That fixedfloat funded the "exploiter" wallet, thus being an inside job. Or is it inferring that the exploiter used the service to fund the wallet prior to exploiting the full amount?

I've asked the same question before, when exchanges got hacked. In general, you should only keep small amounts in a hot wallet. Could it be this is "small" to them, and they have much more in cold storage?

Why on earth would FixedFloat need $26m in hot wallet reserves to operate~? This makes no sense from an operational or security standpoint for a swapping platform like fixedfloat.

Fixedfloat has been hacked and lost 26 million US dollars.

Good job.

Why repeat their own lie? Blockchain evidence proves they transferred the funds shortly after they received it.

Even if they've refunded OP and get into a resolution off-screen, or [if we assume for a while here] OP did not tell the full story and there are more to tell, I think the taint on their reputation is already done and can't be erased. They've show that they overcomplicate things, requesting way too intrusive KYC despite their claim of supporting privacy, and --the most important-- no one can guess whether their fund will get through or get confiscated when dealing with their platform, given they have their own blocklist and taint measurement.

Company is registered in Seychelles. Does anyone really believe that these really give money to authorities?

they're going to hold it in their addresses until they are seized by the authorities. Otherwise, it will be sitting nicely in their wallet.

The OP made his last post on 30th January therefore we do not know if any settlement was made between himself and Fixedfloat but it would seem highly unlikely. Yes they lied and for that they have to accept their reputation is basically zero when it comes to the opinion of members of the forum. In future, regardless of the steps they take in trying to protect their brand, they will be reminded of this incident because it clearly seems to be about them finding any excuse they can think of in order to steal funds.

They lied. That should tell you everything you need to know:

Well, that's the beauty of their policy, they're going to hold it in their addresses until they are seized by the authorities. Otherwise, it will be sitting nicely in their wallet. I imagine they can say some funds are still not being confiscated by the authorities and thus still remains in their possession.

Company is registered in Seychelles. Does anyone really believe that these really give money to authorities? Especially when they or their partners make BA analysis. It's dust, nobody cares about such a tiny amounts and they keep this money for themselves.
With all due respect, I don't believe small exchanges confiscating some bucks freeze money till they get contacted from authorities unless it's a very serious case.

They lied. That should tell you everything you need to know:

The Fixedfloat forum representative have taken themselves out of the thread and that is disappointing. It seems they have not posted since 29th January.

Now you have stopped engaging in this thread, but it would be better if you explain the reason behind it. Because this raises doubts about the claim you are making.

That's not true. You say the funds "remain frozen", but that can't be since you've mixed them already.
The first transaction was mixed in this transaction and that same output was used to sent to another address. The second transaction was mixed in this transaction and also sent to another address. None of the funds were frozen in your wallet, you're normally using them to pay other people.
To summarize: if those funds came from criminal activity as you claim, you've now sent it to other innocent users who now own those "tainted" Bitcoins.
It sounds very much like you only care about "taint" when it's convenient for you.

We receive dozens of requests a day from law enforcement agencies in a huge number of countries. All requests are sent from official email addresses (which, of course, are checked) by law enforcement agencies, contain signatures and seals.

Isn't it better to place a link of his contact info or the link of other forum threads in this topic? I don't understand why it should not be a public.
By the way, his problem is that FixedFloat asks him for many proofs and also don't validate some of them, there is a huge mess in this thread because there are so many big quotes, it's hard and time consuming to read all of them in details.

This is his last update, how is that person going to help him if his AML score is higher than 80+ and FixedFloat doesn't reply to him or his customer? Just wondering, is that guy going to magically do something about that?

If you still not resolve your problem send me PM with your TG i will try to help you. I have a contact of good man which run this business more then 1 year already. He help people to unblock AML risk score 80+ transactions. No need any advance payment. He will take some % only after work fully completed. He have paid thread on famous forum with reviews.

Anyone who wants to ask me question is free to do so by listing it but at moment guys i am very worried that my customer sent so much of his KYC details and now they are not replying for so long...this is extremely suspicious behavior

Hello Bitcointalk Community,

I am being scammed by Fixedfloat they are holding my money hostage and wont send them no matter what proof I send, they keep asking for new proofs every time, basically just wasting my time with no intention to send the money, here is the full story:

I'm a developer, I provide a service and I get paid for it, a guy approached me for a website, and I did the website for him, and instead of receiving funds to my btc wallet then sending it again to exchange where the transaction fees are way too high, I decided to exchange it directly to xmr because I wanted to hold some xmr as  a long term investment. he sent it in two transactions one before the work started and one after, I didn't notice at the time, but after I finished the work I found out that fixedfloat are freezing my money and the reason is they believe it was obtained by criminal means! so I contacted, and:

> First they asked for proof, I sent them screenshots, of my Telegram conversation with the guy which is a sensible information to begin with and contradicts with user anonymity

> then they asked for chat exports from telegram, I did that and sent it to them, they said it's manipulated and that somehow I edited the chat exports?? which is really weird

> so this time they wanted a video recording for the conversation, and I also did that and sent them the recording

- So everything they asked for I provided them with, and they still didn't release my money, they sent a screenshot that 2.2% of the money is related to darknet, thats 2.2% from 8000 EUR  which is exactly 160 EUR, so for 160 EUR my whole 8000 EUR is freezed (https://i.ibb.co/7XBtjb4/IQ8jYY.png), and every proof they wanted I gave it to them

> after delivering all evidence and answered all the questions, they returned to to step 0 and said according to section 7.7 user who sent funds need to contact us, now they want to know the source of funds from the guy that paid me, the guy said his money is clean and my work is done with him, I cant go and ask him to provide sensitive information about his finances and force him to make his private information public



The guy received his website, and the service is complete so now I'm at his and fixedfloat mercy to get my money, the state the need to know the money is obtained via legal actions and I proved that to them with enough evidence, they are aware that I'm the one who opened the exchange in Fixedfloat and sent my customer the address, the money now belongs to me why would I need to ask him to send his entire bitcoin history? this is electronic cash and this is exactly why fungibility is so important, and taint is a very dangerous attack on Bitcoin's existence, in real life scenarios do us ask or care about the history of every fiat cash u own? whether who held it before used it for what is not my business!
I provide a service and I get paid for it!

- Basically Fixedfloat have no intention to give my money back, they just asking me question expecting that I cant answer them, and when I have the answer and proof they get surprised and ask new ones until they tire me and make give up and stop messaging them!

So for just a 2.2% they going to keep the whole fund to themselves! they are not a legal entity that should do that.According to their logic if you buy house for 500k and 100$ bill was in hooker ass
you are PIMP and you they will keep whole 500k so you don't have it.This is alarming and i urge this community to help me with advices what should i do and i call fixedfloat to respond to community!

I assume that guarantee only applies when you use their referral link. But even then, it's not worth much
