When this happens with big bank, you could try going to the court.

When this happens to crypto, you got nobody to blame but yourself.

Great. So not only I lost my money but now I'm getting an assignment as well. Which will last many years and at best will result in recovering a fraction of what I lost and the most likely outcome us not getting anything back and possibly paying more.

Huh? You literally mean a bank took your money from your account?

Which ones?

Fwiw I've heard many horror stories about Paypal

Paypal is not considered a bank, which is the root of many problems we are facing with paypal.

I had the California State Board of Equalization empty one of my bank accounts without warning because they thought I owned them back taxes. I had moved out of the country and wasn't filing California taxes, which was a mistake. You still have to file a 0 tax.

I still haven't gotten my money back.

Dude, there are whole countries where the Goverment just stopped everyone from getting their money out of the Bank. Greek for example, just a few years ago. It's not something very rare nor do you have to be in a third world country.

Ah yes, big bank, bad. Government, very bad. Crypto good. Sure.
