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
So you got partially paid up front but didn't check it before you did all the work? I find this hard to believe (and incredibly dumb). Trusting an anonymous website with a large amount of money at once was dumb too. You could have made several smaller exchanges, to reduce the risk of
selective scamming freezing your money.
i think i will be first guy who killed himsef over being blocked his own money my luck is really fucked up i got job after 2 year being unemployed worked always below developler average payment and finnaly when i got experience and start to get reputation i get fucked on my first big payment job
This makes your story about earning €8k in a week even more difficult to believe.
I Needed to force customer that i will not make any updates or maintain website as per deal if he doesn't contact them
So far for your "reputation". If your customer paid to the Bitcoin address you gave him, he's done his part. You're now showing to be an unreliable business partner by changing the deal you made after you were paid. Your customer can't help that you used someone else's address.
Customer has much of rich clients
my customer and forcing him to tell where his funds came from which again he is doing trading signals and they pay him/tip him if signal is correct
That's another thing: this whole "signals" business is very shady. I've seen spam for it countless times, and I bet it's abused for pump and dump schemes too.
This story smells.
We need the following information from you, as the sender of funds for the order:
1. How do you find customers or do they find you?
2. What kind of services do you provide? Send us your service announcement (screenshot or link to your ad).
3. Where do you communicate with customers?
The more I read about this case, the more I think there's more to it.
We received information from partners that the funds at the address were obtained through criminal means.
Which "partners"? Be specific.
I have asked OP for txID
It's in his screenshots:
842005fb2433d12308d94b0c492bd950ad0aa53ce33aa9a6ff3aa53934ec80f1 and
cfcfcdfd29ccd5bb0aaf852076ab9fdd22895d9474c88f84add7f61c53866b73Funds from our hot addresses are automatically consolidated to our main addresses, as funds are sent from us only from our main addresses. Thus, law enforcement agencies see that the funds have been transferred to the addresses of our service.
Following the above transactions, it looks like you've "mixed" OPs funds with other funds and consolidated them into
bc1qns9f7yfx3ry9lj6yz7c9er0vwa0ye2eklpzqfw. Aren't you concerned that those funds you deemed
criminal are now in your own address, meaning anyone that receives Bitcoin from your exchange now receives some of those
criminal funds? It shows once again that "taint" is only made-up BS.
Since the OP is not the sender of the funds, he has nothing to do with the funds sent to us.
You're omitting the fact that OP initiated the exchange on your website. Of course he has something to do with it.
At the moment, the funds are frozen, and no operations are being carried out with them.
That's a lie, as pointed out above.
2. OP's employers are still on the hook for paying him the owed amount.
OP gave his customer a Bitcoin address to pay to. They paid.
we must make sure that the funds were received in an honest way
And there's the problem with "taint" again: what's legal in one place, may be illegal in another. You're not even sharing which jurisdiction applies. Depending on where you are gambling or prostitution can be perfectly legal or a crime. Now who's going to judge who's "honest"?
After everything they are asking my customer to undergo KYC procedure which he AGREED ON now watch them ask him his mother birth certificate
Say what? It sounds a lot like data mining from an anonymous guy who's hiding in a tax paradise.
We do not practice KYC verification, as we value the anonymity of our customers, but since in this case the risk of exchanging or returning these funds is high for our service, we can make an exception. At the official request of law enforcement agencies for this transaction, we will be able to provide your data for communication.
@fixedfloat: can you confirm the above 2 statements (mother's birth certificate and law enforcement request) are true? I'm especially curious which law enforcement agency allows you to refund stolen funds in exchange for his mother's birth certificate.
Our partners use exclusively analysis services
You mean the companies that
sell this "service" and turned the notion of "taint" into a business model? The companies who's sole existence depends on people buying into the "Bitcoin isn't fungible" attack?
What do you mean when you say you're "partners" with "analysis services"? I can imagine you
buy their "service", but if you're "partners", does that mean you provide them with data too (maybe an overview of all exchanges ever carried out on your platform)?
We receive information about thefts and fraud from our partners (other exchanges and cryptocurrency services) and victims who contact us. All evidence is carefully considered.
Great! So let me ask again: have you contacted the "partner" or the victim to tell them the joyful news that you found back their stolen money?
@fixedfloat: please use the quote button instead of bold font inside a quote, and read
the forum rules (edit your post instead of posting 4 times in a row).
I spend quite a lot of time digging through all posts and data for this case. TL;DR: OP's story sounds shady, and fixedfloat lied about freezing OP's funds.
