Ha, didn't know the other person is called a "mule." But yes, I was thinking about this. Technically I can come up with some clever rebuttal I can feed to my mule counter to all their accusations and there is no way for them to disprove it. But in the end I think they will simply give me some BS automated reply saying I broke ToS.
Also, can't I simply get KYC docs from my mule and submit them myself? My mule would not even need access to the account. But the mule must have trust in me to be dealing with their personal info, and a promise to receive payment.
Anyway, it all seems like too much of a hassle and the odds seemed stacked against me. Learned my lesson here.
Not really a hassle if your friend knows what he's gonna do, if he doesn't well then now it turns into a hassle. Though I do agree that they could give you a simple "Nope, i don't believe you and I don't give a damn if I don't have proof, your account is disabled" message of the sorts. There have been instances like that afaik, if you're fine with letting that amount of money go then I'd really suggest just letting it go and setting up a new account.
Looks like OP had already made His way to get the funds because he got Online in February 13 but never posted anything here meaning he does not interested in the later advise but had decided for His funds.
Op himself decided against getting the funds from the account back mainly cause it was a hassle it seems.
