The exchange is gemini. I did .1e cause I wanted a wallet to pay people with that isnt connected to my main wallets.
Went like this. CEX ---> wallet 1 ---> wallet 2 ----> wallet 3 ---> mixer
I havent sent from the CEX to wallet 1 in months.
Yes I contacted support. They wont reverse it, my account is gone. So hoping theres another CEX I can use to on/offramp 100s of thousands in USD.
It doesn't matter if wallet 1 was "inactive" for a long period as long as it can be linked to mixers. I can't really suggest which alternative to Gemini you could use but at least do more effort in breaking wallet links. I am guessing you were also a verified user there so I don't know if there's a shared data among US-based CEX and if they could also ban you based solely on Gemini's action. P2P could be your best option now.

Sorry to know that you lost your account.
Binance and Okex can be good options as alternative CEXs. you said you are American so you can use Binance US.
Binance US will exit the US market as part of the settlement with the regulators.
