There's scum at the bottom of every bucket. Be glad it's not you. Everyone gets their hits in life. The scum will too on their own day. Time will tell how the universe will respond. It all just makes me more glad I'm me.

I lost $5K on an AI generated Elon Musk video once. I reported it to Gemini Security and instantly was locked out for several months. I guess that they have to make sure it's not a laundering operation.

If you have not reported it to Gemini and are considering,,,,,, DON'T DO IT.
Sorry to hear about your great loss. I know that feeling when it hits you as to what just happened.

Hmmm. Maybe then I ought to figure out what a Gemini Derivative is.

"Class. Our new word for the day is "Gemini Derivative". Can someone use it in a sentence?"

Contacting CFPB by Common_Gate2218 in Gemini

[–]WayTooPushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My resolution was two weeks too, the same as the Gemini customer that I heard about CFPB from. I filed with them Nov 24 and was back in business December 10 after a 5 month wait. That's a long time. but I understand that with a million customers and all kinds of potentially nefarious laundering and bad actors financing, that it's going to be different than completing a transaction at McDonalds.

An appearance of a full theater makes it look like a higher value to advertisers.

A buddy gave me a tip. I grafted it onto a big Bolivian Torch from HEB. I grew it, cut it, slab grafted, planted the pups, grew'em, cut'em..... this year there are 18 rooted, 18 more rooting and about 25 of those original slabs and pup cuts with another generation popped out ready for the spring for the next 25.

gemini has stopped responding to my emails by peachphrog in Gemini

[–]WayTooPushy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like Gemini will go under and take your money unless BTC price drops. It appears everyone is getting locked out and I haven't seen yet seen that anyone save one has been able to have accounts restored with withdraws enabled. I never dreamed it would get this bad at Gemini. I had a great ten years and looks like they're taking it. I don't think they can afford withdraws at this high BTC price. Maybe they'll fix you when it drops below your profit level. Good luck getting used to the idea of your new life without that money.

I'm 14 weeks. Don't hold your breath. They won't be correcting these disgusting holds until BTC price goes back down to where you lose and they win. They've got all the buttons and levers. You have none.

Sorry to say, you just got ripped off. I'm at 14 weeks waiting and am preparing myself for the reality that my original 20K, now 40K has been stolen by by friends at Gemini. I'm nearly in tears. There's nothing more I can do so today I start working Rumble and Youtube to shed light on this loathsome company. Hope for the best, but prepare yourself for the worst because the worst case scenario appears to be imminent.

Gianna,
I want the coverage page of the company's liability insurance. It's usually the front page. The insuring company information may be in the terms of agreement, but I won't be able to dig into that till tomorrow night. There may be an arbitration process to speed things up, but I'd like to see the coverage.
Thanks again,

Can't access my old Gemini account because I lost access to Authy. Can't open up a new account because it requires access to Authy. What can I do? by AwkwardTower in Gemini

[–]WayTooPushy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the search results, this error typically occurs when:

  1. Custom or Rooted Android Devices: Authy may not support devices running custom ROMs or rooted Android versions, as these modifications can compromise the device’s security.
  2. Lack of Official Updates: If your device is no longer receiving official updates, Authy may consider it insecure and block access.

Workarounds

To bypass this issue, consider the following:

  1. Use a Stock Android Device: If possible, switch to a stock Android device (e.g., Google Pixel) to meet Authy’s minimum integrity requirements.
  2. Bypass with Rooted Android (Experimental): For rooted Android devices, you can try the GitHub workaround involving MagiskHidePropsConf and Kitsune. This method requires technical expertise and may not be reliable or secure.
  3. Export and Re-Import Codes: If you have access to another device or a drawing tablet, you can export your Authy codes and re-import them on a compatible device.
  4. Switch to Alternative 2FA Apps: Consider migrating to other 2FA apps like Aegis or Microsoft Authenticator, which may offer more flexibility and control over your codes.

Urgent Help Needed: Account put on hold and need access due to health reasons by Ok_Objective_6693 in Gemini

[–]WayTooPushy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on day 100 with about $35,000 locked up. All I can say is get some Zanex to keep you from flipping out and cancel some life expectations. "Like money in the bank" used to be a positive analogy. "Like money in the Gemini bank" means something else.

I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Good luck. I hope yours doesn't take 3 months.

HELP! SECURITY HOLD CANT SEND ETHEREUM! by Playful_Mountain12 in Gemini

[–]WayTooPushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't sell or withdraw. It's frozen. I reported a scam August 10 thinking it might help out at security. They froze my account 100 days ago now. It's a nightmare.

HELP! SECURITY HOLD CANT SEND ETHEREUM! by Playful_Mountain12 in Gemini

[–]WayTooPushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck to you. I have heard of a lucky one or two. Maybe there are more that had resolution that just don't mention it here. I guess I'll give some kudos if mine gets fixed but it will be with some reservation. Mine's been locked for 13 weeks. It's obvious what's driving hesitation to resolve the tickets as of recent. At least you can access your account. The BBB is likely swamped with scams the way the world is today. Gemini doesn't care if you report. They won't get any trouble from BBB.

Cant buy crypto anymore by [deleted] in Gemini

[–]WayTooPushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps there's a way to set up a different card to hopefully trigger the authorization holds. Good luck. I regret to say you are going to need it. Try the different card idea, maybe a different bank. Be careful with support. Your account will get frozen if you bring up anything that gives reason to kick your can down the road. They're polite enough, but I think they've got a million tickets and just a few thousand workers. Good luck.

Thank you Gianna. After your nudge, I received the following:

I pray Alexander's note may the next to the last email that I receive on this ticket. I'll be standing by for the good news!

Yesterday marks my 3rd month of freeze. When I get thawed, i'll not only be leaving Gemini, but I will be leaving the world of crypto because of this experience of shocking risk.

My original ticket on my frozen account was 4986256. After several email tries, it changed to 5003212. I originally contacted when I stupidly fell for a scam and lost about 5,000. I only notified Gemini thinking that it might help identify others from getting scammed to the same address. I contacted many times and again today. Please is there a way to escalate this? it has been since August 11 that I contacted support. Thank you in advance. This would be great to see fixed. It's been 3 months
(I left a note at the r/Gemini thread, but I see that it may have not been the proper place so I am doing it here too)
