Right now I'm on https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-fraud-about-you chatting with a fraud specialist from their department about filing a fraud report for cex.io.

They've held my bitcoin hostage since the 19th of January citing some bs kyc verification and when I gave them all kyc related documents they asked for a print screen of mining operations which I'm pretty sure 80% of bitcoin traders cannot produce because they are obtained through mining alts or trading them.

So yeah ... here's a print screen if @CEX thinks I'm joking.

Solve this in 24-48 hours or the complaint goes through and then you can solve it with the fraud dept of uk police. If you're gonna keep my heard earned bitcoin after hoodling for 4 years at least say it out right don't invent bs requirements and keep it in limbo pending forever.

Any screenshots on what they told you to do and what they responded to you as a result?

I mean there is really nothing they can do as a company if they were a regulated businesses falling under the jurisdiction of a country which provides these ID documents. If they're asking for mining proofs then they have their reasoning, but it's a bit too harsh at least imo.

I doubt reporting them to that site will help. But at least hopefully it'll speed up their communication with you.

Cex.io has been having a lot of problems. Not a good sign.
