Coinbase closed my account with $900,000+ still inside

Coinbase restricted my account with over $900,000 in it because I couldn’t provide enough “source of funds/source of wealth” documents.

Most of the money came from offshore sportsbook winnings. I showed them proof of my deposits, bets, and withdrawals, but these sportsbooks don’t exactly give you official documents showing years of betting history.

At this point, I don’t even care about keeping my Coinbase account. Close it.

Just let me withdraw my $900,000.

PANIC - The Coinbase Account Is GONE!

Day 1

Me: "I'll change my email address to reflect my new business."

Several days later

Me: "Interesting, I've been signed out of Coinbase. Maybe it's still logged in on my phone." Nope.

The next day

Me: "Let me request a new password!" No joy. Panic.

Me, to myself: "I'll check again tomorrow. If someone's stolen my Coinbase crypto, so be it."

My wife: "What do you mean you lost all of your Coinbase crypto?"

Today

Me: "Oh. Let me try the new email address."

Whew. My crypto is all here.

Lesson: Let it be, Let it be! If it's not broken, don't fix things.

Note: I keep the majority of my crypto in a cold wallet.

Coinbase being noncooperative

My husband died in 2024 and had a Coinbase account. I'm the Executor of his estate and his only beneficiary. I made a Coinbase account, filled out the Executor Services Form, and waited to receive an email from them. I'm not good with technology so I missed the first few emails and my case was closed which I understand. With the help of my attorney I opened another case through the Executor Services Form and when they emailed me I completed ID verification and when I responded to Coinbase's email saying that the ID verification was complete, I was told the case was closed again with no reason as to why. Two weeks ago, I got on their Support Chat and asked for help with the situation and was told that my case was actually still open, which confused me because the email said it was closed. I asked to talk to someone on the Estate team so I could get some more information about where the process was at and was told the Chat would be transitioned to email so I could chat with someone on the estate team about it and to expect an email shortly. I never received an email. Yesterday I went to my attorney's office for help because I still had not received an email from Coinbase and the Court needs the probate process to continue. We called Customer Service and were told we were being transferred to a Legal Team but got hung up on. We then called again and were told to send an email to support@coinbase.com which we did, but the response email said that that email address doesn't receive emails, and got hung up on again while trying to ask a question. We then called again, and asked to speak to the Legal Team that had been mentioned on the previous phone call and were again hung up on. We submitted a Complaint because we didn't know what else to do, my attorney is wanting to sue for the money in the account since it seems we can't have any proper communication with Coinbase about how to get the money and the Probate Court has deadlines that we can't meet due to this.

Coinbase Wallet - Sell $20K USDC base to USDC polygon, never received?

Hi guys, I am lost as to what's going on.

  1. I have the latest version of the coinbase wallet app (not coinbase app, the self custody wallet app)
  2. I used their trade function to sell (basically a swap). $20,000 USDC on the base network to $19,999 USDC on the polygon network. Everything is verified beforehand those are the right coins etc..
  3. I click sell then confirm, $20k was removed from my USDC base, in the transaction it says "Brighted out" from network Base to network polygon, Status = Complete.

But I never received the ~$20k in USDC polygon? It's been 15 mins and still nothing. On the block explorer everything seem to say success/complete. Anyone know what's going on?

EDIT: I just did another experiment, exact same steps but tested with $2, and received $2 in USDC polygon almost instantly, but the $20k USDC polygon from previous transaction is still nowhere to be found?

EDIT2: I received the 20K in USDC polygon, for anyone else panicking in the future this is the conclusion:

  1. For small amounts <$1000, when you swap from USDC base to USDC polygon (and I assume any other network USDC), the transfer is near instant.

  2. For large amounts, in my case >$5000, the sold USDC will be taken from your account immediately, but the receive USDC will NOT be sent to you until 20-40 minutes later. This is not a one time issue, I actually went back to my old transactions from 6+ months ago, looking for the same "bridge out" trades, and sure enough every single one of them >$5000 are a delay of 20-30 minutes. I just didn't pay too much attention and by the time I checked later everything was ok.

Utter shit design like most things with this wallet, but now you know. So don't panic just wait.

Coinbase stealing funds

My friend stupidly sent USDC back to the address I had sent from.

Coinbase is now claiming there’s nothing they can do even though it’s their wallet. Support won’t even investigate.
