Coinbase freeze you account? What happend than?

Oh well I just hope for you that is all oke oke now, because if that money was mine I would just cry :/

OMG i heard about this too. But I thought it was less because it was less amounts. This is serieos money man. Luckily you can still withdraw them to BTC.

Make sure to leave them asap and find a solid exchange.

Bha....Coinbase Blocked Our Accounts, We have 3 accounts from Italy (15000€-18000€-8000€).
Coinbase freeze our accounts 1 month ago, they want to return the money on our IBAN which were actually pre-paid cards with Iban now closed, below you can see full mail cronology, today we waiting another their reply from 10 days..only silence from coinbase, They re-opened our accounts but after 3 days re-freeze...

Hello Marco,

After further consideration we have determined we cannot support your Coinbase account, so you will not be able to make any additional Bitcoin purchases. My apologies for the confusion.

Please withdraw your remaining EUR balance as soon as possible.

Respectfully,

Hi Marco,

My sincere apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this. We just sent you an email regarding a routine compliance questionnaire that we need you to complete. You can complete the survey by logging into your account; please check back in once you have finished it so that we can review your responses and hopefully restore your purchasing abilities.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Best,

Coinbase Support

I've read quite some bad things about coinbase, but honestly I never had a problem with them.

Every deposit was nice added to my balance. Every withdrawal came true without it being reviewed.

So yes, go for coinbase. They exist must longer.

you loose your funds with coinbase when you gambe??? wtf... i knew they close they account but not that they are keeping funds.
tbh i think gemini has to do sth similar with funds from gambling...they both have to follow american law.

I dont think this a problem, I think they earn from transaction fees too. Be aware that gambling with a coinbase wallet could get your coinbase account closed with all funds lost.  You can see a thread about that: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/so-coinbase-closed-my-account-for-gambling-1231723. I would recommend spreading your bitcoin over multiple wallets, not let everything be in control of a single entity.

Anyone try Gemini? I have been selling bitcoins through coinbase and everything is smooth! It is amazing how quick the funds are in my banks account! I have sold at 7:00 am and received the bitcoin in my bank that day! I am starting to get a little worried tho. I have sold more than I bought on coinbase. Is this a problem? Should I sell somewhere else 2? I just opened up a Gemini account and am going to give it a shot. I just don't see how it can get any better then coinbase!
