I lost 4.5K transfering USDT from Binance to Coinbase From time to time I check if the money is still there.

The last time I asked Coinbase support they didn't even bother to answer me.

I was not investing, one of my contractors unilaterally decided to pay me in crypto.

Why didn't you tell him that you wanted to be paid in real money?

I hope you weren't involved in helping someone launder money.

Because then they would say "ok, here's crypto".

That's not usually how contracts work (in the sense of the actual law, not this smart contract bullshit).

If I told you in the contract that I'd pay you in iphones, I'm pretty sure you would have to accept them as payment?

I am not sure but he may not have entered provided MEMO other than the wallet address.
