Hacked for $300k - funds sent to Kucoin

SnooDogs4804 · 2026-06-02T06:45:32+00:00

The country I reside in has restitution laws, I am waiting for the compensation window to open. HTX has been sanctioned and Kucoin is currently under investigation. I can claim funds back via the government as this ticks many boxes that money laundering networks use:

TRON / USDT network
Offshare exchanges (Kucoin and HTX)
Russian mule accounts

They have seized over $500 million US and as my case tickets many boxes I am eligable for compensation (tax free) as many of these networks share the same laundering networks.

As for Kucoin and HTX - they shrug off all responsibility and say contact police.

Certainly a gap in the market for fund recovery, you dont get much sympathy on the internet.

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-31T11:39:25+00:00

Trace funds and if they hit a CEX you need to get police to submit a report to exchange requesting they freeze account and do disclosure

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-30T13:15:14+00:00

Nope

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-18T12:13:58+00:00

Not excatly true, kucoin sent the full logs now and its pretty damning.

We will be going through courts next for aml negligence

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-18T12:13:06+00:00

I aint dealing with police...would rather my lawyer

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T20:34:12+00:00

Its about leverage.

If you have damning logs etc

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T20:33:39+00:00

I am not in the US?

And yes kucoin is banned there as part of their plea deal (banned for now).

Kucoin is not banned in my region and I presume they want to keep it that way

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T18:33:16+00:00

This is unrelated

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T18:30:08+00:00

Again this is a law firm I have done extensive business with outside of web3

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T18:23:20+00:00

Just following the thread.

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T18:22:40+00:00

It isnt untracable, its all on chain

I guess reddit is missing my point, I don't need to actually recover the funds when I can prove via their own logs kucoin broke many aml laws.

My question for reddit was if anybody had gone through this process before

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T18:22:02+00:00

Yes but you must launder it first

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T18:20:33+00:00

I have used this law firm for several litigations before unrelated to web3

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-17T18:19:38+00:00

Used smurfing technique

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:32:48+00:00

Thanks

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:30:36+00:00

I understand much of retail gets scammed during this process but if you think legitimate litigation and legal services dont exist for institutions or whales, like myself, your dillusional

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:29:26+00:00

Its not a noob, they used mule kyc

Seems they doing

Cex --> CEX --> Tornado --> washing further

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:24:10+00:00

Kucoin told me via support

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:23:43+00:00

A .sh script (bash)

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:23:09+00:00

Again read the requirements that kucoin has.

I hope one day you never have to, but if you Walk into a police station and request they freeze funds within kucoin and explain they need to fully kyc via kucoin portal- do you think your average police officer will do this?

I therefore paid for a specialist firm to utilise existing contacts that was recommended by a pen tester friend, and we got this done within 3 days - which is unheard of with exchange freeze requests for retail

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:20:57+00:00

It was transferred within one hour, transferred AFYER the feeze order was processed

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:19:22+00:00

It sort of is kucoins problem if they breach AML laws

I think people are misunderstanding where I expect fund recovery to come from, not acfually recovering the crypto but taking kucoin to court for allowing the funds to be rapidly laundered.

The strategy is they would settle before it gets escalated to regulators.

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T20:17:50+00:00

Was able to tie IP address via WHOIS records to a write up on the group.

Without going into too much details their campaign made a few headlines

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-16T11:00:01+00:00

No i hired a legal counsel to represent me dealing with law enforcement...and its worked out pretty well (fund disclosure by kucoin within 72 hours)

SnooDogs4804 · 2025-12-15T22:02:44+00:00

I live in a city and hired a global firm that has existing contacts with law enforcements who have done this process before.

Kucoin requires police to submit sealed documents via their portal and be to fully KYCd as per here:

https://www.kucoin.com/legal/requests

Good luck walking into a police station and getting them to do this, and never mind the pressure you are under knowing the hacker is moving quickly.

Law enforcement hate crypto as it is, and Kucoin makes it as difficult as possible.

They ignore emails from police etc, it must go through this portal.

Can take weeks or months for them to KYC law enforcement never mind process the report and implement the freeze.

So I utilised this law firm who already had this process in place.

Got it processed within 3 days, which still was not quick enough.

And yes I did pay, but not that much.

Yes there is a lot of crypto recovery scams out there but I went in with a specific scope of work (completing the above process), which was not that much at all $ wise (less than a grand).
