That someone will try to locate you and extract the information. You said that there are millions in these accounts and in some cases you can even withdraw money. That sounds like Christmas for criminals.

Do yourself a favor and never use this alias in here again. Or anywhere else for that matter. Even better delete the whole freaking post.

I don't have access to anything. Besides, I'm surprised that they would be the only person you know that has access to money.

Knowing someone who has money isn't the same as knowing someone who can provide access to thousands of active API keys to crypto exchange accounts. I'm not trying to spook you, but you don't seem to understand the severity of what you've just told to the public Internet. We're a bit paranoid in here because we've seen and heard a lot of weird shit over the years. Do yourself a favor and take this seriously, will you.
