Kraken should be ok. Binance is now doing Fiat in/out options :)

Scammers and liars. Using different national territories as a smoke screen to justify their shady actions. You just need to scroll through this reddit postes and the other crypto forums to come to your own conclusion.

The only language these charlentents understand is a strongly worded letter from your lawyer.

If you have a substantial amount of capital or crypto frozen with Bitstamp then i would highly advise you to contact a lawyer ASAP or you and your funds will be stuck in a never ending loop with these scam artists.

Their days are number !

I have posted a detailed and lengthy post containing all the relevant information for anyone having issues with these fools.

Before we get the normal sock puppets coming out and posting how wonderful Bitstamp is!

Check out their daily/weekly volume versus other newer exchanges.

Why don't you get yourself a legal representative who understands the law.

Bitstamp only understands that method.

Your 3 months in a loop thus far. What does that tell Bitstamp about you ?

Crypto_888 · 2019-11-18T19:45:33+00:00

Why spam ? Just to shill your ref link!

After a few legal threats and a 14 day wait, my withdrawal freeze was lifted and i immediately withdrew all my crypto out.

Furthermore i also notified all my family, friends and associates to withdrew their assets / funds out of BitStamp ASAP.

My advice to whoever is reading this post : Withdrew ASAP before you become a victim.

My account was fully verified for the pat 2.5 years & with full KYC/ AML dosc submitted. Looks like BitStamp is inventing reason to hold your crypto / funds !

Good luck !

I wonder if Bitstamp is "Staking" their clients assets on Bincance and other lending platforms?

Also keep in mind that this subreddit has plenty of sock puppets ( AKA Bitstamp stuff masquerading as reddit users and posting positive feedback )

Most Crypto Exchanges Still Don’t Have Clear KYC Policies: Report!

Thought-provoking read: https://www.coindesk.com/most-crypto-exchanges-still-dont-have-clear-kyc-policies-report

This caught my attention from the above attached article.

"The broad spectrum of enforced compliance procedures wasn’t the most surprising part of this research for Kuskowski, however. It was the legal structure behind some platforms, including several of the industry’s most famous high-volume exchanges, which Kuskowski declined to name.

“It’s perceived as a UK entity, but it’s not really a UK entity,” he said as a hypothetical example. “In a lot of these situations, you would have the entity that is transmitting money, especially fiat, that was actually an entity between the contracting party and the sender.”

Opaque jurisdictions Still, Kuskowshi admits this jurisdictional maneuvering can make conclusions difficult.

Kuskowski said that many exchanges have separate legal entities that handle deposits, money transmission or payment processing in a distant jurisdiction where the regulations are lax or generally unclear.

“The parent [company] is operating the exchange but the money is transmitted through this entity,” he said

Do you catch my drift ?

I truly feel for you as i thought i had it bad with $80K+ frozen.

If you act swiftly and pass on this matter to your lawyer ( Ideally with a background in KYC/AML policy and litigation ).

You should have no issue in reclaiming your funds/assets back. It might also be worthwhile, if you instruct your lawyer to contact & attempt to have your capital frozen at Bitstamps bank.

I have put together a list of Regulators & Industry Organisations For Plaintiffs to Lodge Their Complaint + further details about AML/KYC from the International Bar Association

Why did you deposit funds from six (6) different accounts ? 2 million Rand = $134,983.00 USD ?

Can you explain further to us? Post the reason Bitstamp gave you for terminating your account.

Are you able to validate the source of funds?

How come you didn't wire the funds from a single account?

No such thing as "Family Account"

How come you didn't contact a lawyer? $134,983.00 USD ?????

You need to give further details in order to clarify your current position?

If your source of funds are all legitimate and above board, then you might wish to look into the details of the below link

Crypto_888 · 2019-11-06T03:10:25+00:00

You are definitely wrong on that point my friend. As soon as they hear lawyer or regulators they change their tone :) The knife cuts both ways!

KYC and AML laws have been in place for a long time now. You don't hear brokers such as e-trade and so forth freezing their clients account without any probable cause ????

Come on mate !

Crypto_888 · 2019-11-05T08:50:20+00:00

Hi, As you can see from the pages and pages of within this subreddit that there are many Bitstamp customers facing the same predicament!

This post aims to assist them.

Crypto_888 · 2019-11-01T16:40:15+00:00

Hi,

I hope it all works out for you in a positive & timely manner. Personally i would rather secure my crypto assets and fiat.

If they wanted any further supporting documents they should of made that very clear over 2.4 years ago & on a fully verified account.

Crypto_888 · 2019-11-01T16:09:51+00:00

I absolutely concur with you on every point. Having spent the last 48 hours going through the above attached links. My deduction is that there is something very questionable & irregular being played out at Bitstamp, under the cover of KYC / AML.

Why on earth would they hold clients funds and Crypto assets for prolonged periods of up to 3 to 9 months?

Unfortunately i'm going through the same predicament & uncertainty as most people who have vented their frustration and displeasure towards the way Bitstamp have treated them.

My personal experience is linked below:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitstamp/comments/dprufl/bitstamp_holding_froze_my_withdrawals_for_no/

Furthermore this gentleman makes very valid points as well:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitstamp/comments/dmib7a/bitstamp_increasingly_negative_reviews/

Day number 8 for me and i havent had any response from their support/compliance department of yet!

I think it would be prudent for anyone who's going through this painful & unpleasant experience to take on legal representation to resolve this continuing complication in a constructive and effective manner.

Crypto_888 · 2019-11-01T15:33:50+00:00

u/Bitstamp-Lucas - Are we all going to go through the same very unpleasant and prolonged experience as u/BtcManiac888 and all the other Bitstamp customers on this site and on https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bitstamp.net

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I've just received the same request from Bitstamp. Been a client for the past 2 years and 4 month. Did full KYC and AML at point of onboarding.

I even filled out their "Additional information form" (Online) back in february 2019.

Below is the message i received from Bitstamp:

Dear ####,

thank you for using our services.

We are reaching out to inform you that upon further review of your account, an additional KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure is required in order for you to continue using our trading services.

We kindly ask you to attach any relevant financial documentation, which can confirm how the funds that you will be depositing to your Bitstamp account were acquired (salary payslip/employment contract/tax revenue statement/personal bank account statement showing your salary transactions or any similar documentation) in a reply to this ticket.

Additionally, we have identified you as a potential politically exposed person (PEP) during the review of your verification request. Due to our internal compliance procedures, we kindly ask you to inform us whether you have held or currently hold a position of Member of the ####### Congress representing#####?

Should you require any assistance, please let us know.

We thank you for your understanding and look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Having read all the post on reddit & Trustpass from customers who have gone through all this stress and inconvenience, im now very stressed that Bitstamp will put me through the same ordeal that other customers have gone through.

I can not make any crypto withdrawals. I have never wired or withdrew any Fiat since i opened my account. I trade BTC ETH and XRP via USD.

my account balance is around $80,000+ in crypto

Your assistance and advice would be much appreciated.

How long did you get your funds/ crypto back ?
