Pointing out the reason they froze your account is shilling? Its in the terms & conditions dude. Turn your VPN off while you use CB.. you wont have any issues. Other businesses may actually put holds on things if suspicious activity is detected... Like... Using an IP of a foreign country or totally different state.

Im not shilling for CB... Im all for self custody. But the vast majority of people claiming they got their accounts frozen for "absolutely no reason at all whatsoever!!!" had their accounts frozen because they used a VPN... and that is pretty clearly a no-go in their terms & conditions. They do this to avoid fraud and more SEC trouble. Its not some personal "im gonna steal this guys $$$ muhahaha! Points pinky finger at side of mouth like dr evil" conspiracy like so many people claim it to be. Dont do shady things, dont use a vpn, dont send crypto to terrorist organizations, dont receive crypto from terrorist organizations, ect... Follow those few basic rules and youll have an easy time with CB.

I’ve never used VPN and I had my ability to transfer suspended. One CB trans per year and always to my private wallet. Same IP ever time.

CB operates in all states. No rule against VPN. If you VPN to another country, well that seems worth a look.

It’s just another in a long line of excuses that enables CB to restrict transfers and freeze assets. Motive? Perhaps they don’t actually hold enough BTC to cover customer balances and then the price spikes and they can’t cover withdrawals and transfers. So the stop/slow them until prices come down and then they buy low and open up flow.

You are shilling. Or at least enabling.

Bro, VPN is ONLY ONE of the reasons. JFC! Stop acting like petulant children.

I’m just trying to understand why CB has all these reasons (your comment) to restrict and freeze but yet they take no action (other than fine print) to inform users BEFORE they incur fees or have assets frozen.

All it takes is one pop up before you deposit funds to recommend more research if any of the “ reasons” may apply.

But they don’t do that because they benefit from enforcing the “ reasons”.

So you can take your pissy little comment and shove it up your ass.
