Sent $35,104.11 USD to CoinBase. Never received Bitcoins

This is the same situation as Facebook's IPO with NASDAQ. Orders were placed $40, then cancelled, then filled at $40 six hours after the market closed (at which point Facebook was already trading below its IPO price).

Unless you are a massive financial institution with some serious clout/legal department, I recommend you cut your losses and move on.

Your time is much more valuable spent doing something else rather than the time you will spend trying to recover $X,XXX

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but $35,000+ is a HUGE sum of money for even the decamillionaires I know.

$35,000 is a huge sum of money. I'm suggesting he sell the 40 or so bitcoin he purchased immediately at market price (~$550), cut his loses and move on. By doing so he would limit the damage and would only lose ~$12,700. Bitcoin will continue to fall and he will continue to lose money.

He won't get his money back from CoinBase and he is losing money every second he holds his bitcoin.

Losing money sucks. It happens to everyone who invests, gambles or takes a risk. Take your medicine, learn for your mistakes and be better tomorrow.

Everything ended up resulting in my favor. Brian from CoinBase issued the BTC earlier today at today's market price. Considering I have been holding about $18k in BTC from prior transactions as well, as of this moment I am down 1.83% on my total investment.

Bitcoin's been extremely bouncy, there is a chance that it could re-test resistance at around 700-800, or it could retest support at $300 short term.

Not really, I can easily come up with 35k at the drop of a hat...
