Has anybody here on HN been able to go $ANYTHING -> USD on Bitfinex?

I haven't seen anybody anywhere claim they've gotten USD out of Bitfinex...

Search around on the Bitfinex subreddit. For example:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bitfinex/comments/7rbfca/ticket_636...

The thread here is about Bitfinex not writing money, but on the thread a couple of similar issues get resolved. Could be shills or Bitfinex oiling squeaky wheels. I too would love to see someone here on hn post about their experiences, though.

Completely agree. You'd think with the reach of this place, you'd get a couple people who have done it.

I'd like to verify that myself; I even made a bitfinex account (with vpn). But the withdraw USD option (both wire and USDT) are disabled unless you can verify your account.
