A couple of months back, I ventured into the realm of cryptocurrency gambling on an online casino. Despite my ongoing fascination with gambling, I found myself drawn back into it. My attempt to create an account on FortuneJack, however, was met with an unexpected hurdle – my email was already associated with an existing account. Seeking assistance, I reached out to their support, and an agent advised me not to worry and simply create a new account. Following this advice, I proceeded accordingly.

Recently, I found myself in need of a file from a past job interview. During my search, I stumbled upon an old email from Coinbase dating back to September 6, 2016. The email revealed that I had purchased 0.18162522 BTC for $150.00 CAD, a transaction made through my Visa credit card ending in ********6013. These funds had been credited to my account.

Curious, I followed the transaction through a BTC explorer and realized that I had deposited the entirety of this BTC sum into my FortuneJack account. Curiously, I had no recollection of depositing on this platform. My understanding of BTC at the time was limited, and it's possible that I assumed the funds were lost due to my lack of knowledge about cryptocurrencies.

With newfound insight into the crypto realm, I decided to get in touch with FortuneJack's support. Their response contained information about account dormancy and the removal of funds if an account remains inactive for a specified period. Despite this policy, my concern arises from the fact that I possess email correspondence from FortuneJack dating back to September 30, 2016, which solely addresses the activation of my account, with no mention of potential account deactivation, fund removal, or warnings. This seems to fall short of reasonable efforts to notify users.

In my current understanding of cryptocurrencies, I have traced the transaction to a dormant wallet that hasn't been accessed since 2016. It's disheartening to consider that this wallet might eventually fade into obscurity, especially since it appears even FortuneJack isn't utilizing it. This entire situation has left me feeling perplexed and disheartened. The lack of communication and assistance on their part has further added to my frustration.

Reflecting on my journey, it's clear that there won't be a cheerful resolution to this tale. It's a source of disappointment for me, underlined by the fact that even they seem to have abandoned the very wallet that now holds significant value. The reasons behind their actions remain a mystery to me, and it's a sentiment that evokes a sense of sadness. This is the account of my experience, albeit one that lacks a happy ending. 🙁
