yeah I've really just been joking. I've been in good contact with the fund administrator, we exchanged a number of mails and they did a good job helping me fulfill all the requirements, documents etc... plus, after the 2017-19 period, we moved AND my lastname changed due to marriage + kids... so generally in crypto, if someone tells you "yeah you need to send to a totally different address, oh, and the name also isn't the same, but trust me bro, we're the same person (and we look different because I had plastic surgery oknp", all alarm bells would ring like there's no tomorrow, but they helped me get all relevant documentation to provide proof and have everything ready for when the funds are sent. So yes, I'm convinced that everything will be fine.
Edit:
if Paypal itll freeze your account, just told them that money comes from SEC...
))
That said, the initial primary transaction method via PayPal was also one of the peculiarities around this. PayPal needs connection to a bank account anyway, so it was completely beyond me how anyone can genuinely request/require something like PayPal when distributing funds on behalf of the SEC. I mean c'mon, that's literally asking for trouble.
I know I had "chosen" PayPal initially, though I don't know if there was an actual choice or if nothing else was available. Now it's entirely possible that somewhere along the way, I switched to Bank Wire. Which I really hope I did... I'm not sure if I have the patience to deal with phone operators or support agents in general, these days. ^^
Or maybe at least they whitelisted this kind of transfer for the next couple days... man that would be awesome, a company actually making use of their brains to spare their customers completely unnecessary friction in the process. But I might be expecting too much here.
