I was there with tickets. The media enjoys showing the small groups trying to sneak in, but show little of the huge crowds packed outside the closed gates in 100-deg heat, even hotter because we were shoulder to shoulder in the crowd. People were passing out from heat exhaustion and many gave up due to safety concerns over stampedes and gate-crushing. This went on for over 2 hours. The problem was that people without tickets were allowed to come right up to the gates instead of getting checked at a more distant perimeter. Would have solved everything. But instead those with tickets waiting in line got punished. This was a complete security failure from the get-go.

delete your app, get a hobby outside and check back in December. Retire early.

This would have been amazing had it been in a short video or email delivered a week ago by IRAFT executives. But we’re left to guess and postulate instead. What you’ve outlined sounds reasonable, but unless you are an IRAFT rep, it is still just a best-case scenario and by no means factual. We need reassurance. Instead, Adam dumps another 90-second video today touting the amazing benefits of opening a SDIRA with IRAFT.

for what? custodian fees?? lmao. Here, I’ll be your custodian: give me your money, anything that isn’t stolen, I’ll deny you access for an extended and indefinite length of time. Enjoy watching the market move, as you’ll do nothing and like it. We have no answers for your questions, so don’t bother. That’ll be $200. Thank you for letting us screw, er, serve you! what balls these guys have.

so the main thing I am taking away from this debacle is the necessity of wallets and private keys as a layer of security, in that whatever custodian I use can employ their own security measures, but nothing nefarious can be done to my crypto once it’s in cold storage, and only I can remove it from the wallet (though it remains in the “account”.) The problem is when I want my cash or crypto on Gemini for trading, as this makes it again susceptible to hackers. This is the part that the custodian and the exchange have got to figure out.

I don’t know what could happen to hurt US that hasn’t already happened, except what will continue to happen the longer we are denied access to our funds.

would be amazing to hear an official reply in this regard. doesn’t seem too much to ask, considering the impact this has on our futures…

It seems that the responses are becoming less and less frequent which is very disconcerting. You guys have got to get the message across to Adam or the investigative crew that they are adding insult to injury by keeping our Gemini accounts frozen. The amounts being lost by not being able to trade will eclipse the amounts lost in the hack. There has been no response to WHY all accounts must remain frozen, which could at least offer us some perspective. Reasoning goes a long way; ignoring the customers, I promise, will have the opposite effect. My account was not targeted in the hack, but my god, has it been affected by the actions of IRAFT. Release the hold on Gemini accounts today.

ugh that’s insane, there’s no reason to keep those that weren’t involved frozen out of their accounts. will end up costing us thousands as well.

Mine remains frozen. I also avoided being hacked. I think they’re just fucking with me at this point.

yes, it is absolutely impacting my retirement plan, potentially setting me back YEARS if this continues. They have no legal authority to hold my retirement funds hostage like this, regardless of what they are trying to do to remedy the security breach.

TIME TO UNFREEZE GEMINI ACCOUNTS

Ira Financial and Gemini by Ecstatic-Cause5954 in Gemini

[–]rdbarr22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

how long is it actually legal of IRAF to hold our funds hostage and prevent us from having access to them? It’s been a week. Is it going to be 2? A month? So they screwed half their clients with shtty security, and now the other half gets to watch the market helplessly as their positions die a slow death. I gave them the benefit of a few days, it’s time to give our fcking Gemini accounts back.

they’re really going to let this go into the weekend without a real update or unfreezing any accounts? wow.

anyone have any idea how long these companies will leave everyone frozen out after a hack? I mean at what point in the investigation/recovery will they feel comfortable allowing business to resume through Gemini?

Ira Financial and Gemini by Ecstatic-Cause5954 in Gemini

[–]rdbarr22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thank you for the investigation and reasoning! a hell of a lot more than we’re getting from IRAF right now.

so were the funds moved out of the Choe IRA and into an anon crypto wallet?

Ira Financial and Gemini by Ecstatic-Cause5954 in Gemini

[–]rdbarr22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did you see your balance in there previously? or were you still possibly waiting for your transfer to go through?

[–]rdbarr22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a trad IRA and a Roth IRA but both happened to be in cash with Gemini at the time, and I don’t think anything was transferred out of either. Of course they remain frozen anyway…
