My grandfather said he was having some problems with crypto, so I tried to help him out today. It turns out that he made the mistake of opening a wallet on binance.com instead of binance.us (despite the endless warnings I'm sure he got while doing it). Binance.com is saying that they're permanently locking all US-based accounts in 5 or so days and that everything the users want to keep should be withdrawn successfully before then.
I have successfully transferred most of his coins into his binance.us wallet, but one is giving me trouble. VGX (Voyager Token) can't be transferred to binance.us, and for the life of me, I cannot find any exchange that will allow VGX exchanges for USA users.
I tried using crypto swap sites such as simple swap, but the minimum was around 50 VGX or more everywhere I could find, whereas my grandfather owns only around 30 VGX (~$115 value). He can't buy more VGX to reach that minimum since binance.com has restricted all activity to just withdraws.
A VPN doesn't work with Binance since it still recognizes his US address from his verification process. I've exhausted all my ideas, what do you all suggest we do in this situation?
Thank you all! <3
This is a complicated problem in my opinion, almost very difficult to solve if no one understands how to do it, I suggest that you check with everyone who has encountered this kind of problem, maybe one of them you can find a solution.
But if where you live doesn't support VPN or doesn't work with binance then try changing VPN first when you want to send coins or tokens to a new binance address, maybe you can do that before getting any other way, hope it helps.
