I'm a developer, I provide a service and I get paid for it, a guy approached me for a website, and I did the website for him, and instead of receiving funds to my btc wallet then sending it again to exchange where the transaction fees are way too high, I decided to exchange it directly to xmr because I wanted to hold some xmr as  a long term investment.
Which exchange do you use that charges you high transaction fees? I just calculated and 0.2 BTC to XMR via fixedfloat results in 51.529 XMR while on Binance that results in 51.652 XMR. XMR withdrawal fee is 0.0001 XMR either that equals 0.0167 USD. You would actually save $30 if you were about to use centralized exchanges. I haven't checked decentralized ones but it will be nice to hear which particular exchange you are talking about that you were going to use but had way too high fees.

he sent it in two transactions one before the work started and one after, I didn't notice at the time, but after I finished the work I found out that fixedfloat are freezing my money and the reason is they believe it was obtained by criminal means! so I contacted, and:
It would at least take you some weeks to receive second payment, right? Because you were doing 8000+ Euro job, it would at least take one week, minimum. Didn't you really notice that your wallet wasn't filled the next day? Did you really that blindly decided that it would 100% be sent to your wallet? And only noticed it on 2nd transaction? C'mon man.


At the moment, the funds are frozen, and no operations are being carried out with them. If we receive a request from law enforcement agencies, they will see that these funds are located at a FixedFloat address. We have all the evidence base that confirms that the funds received by the sender are related to criminal activity. We value our reputation and do not want to be complicit in crimes, because of ignoring which our service may be blocked. We emphasize that we are very loyal to our users, but if we receive information confirming that the funds we received were clearly related to criminal activity, we are obliged to verify this information by requesting the source of the funds.

We work all over the world, based in the Seychelles.

Which law enforcement agencies are in touch with you? Also, where is your office? In Seychelles? Is it an African startup? Can I visit you in the office? Since you want to know your customer, your customer has a right to know their service provider.

Current state you have to check in box becuse they know it wont pass if you dont agree (becuse they know there was loophole that they need to patch)

This is 100% right, it's ridiculous when users don't have to mark box checked and then company enforces their own policy on them.


There are so many huuuuuuge quotes, it's very hard to read all of them and many will miss the important aspects of the story. To be frank, I got tired and bored reading them. OP please answer to my quotes.
