Trying to resync my wallet but it has connections issues.

Erased the blockchain to resync and now it cannot find connections.

In my case, my bank never asked me about sudden increase in receipts. In 2017-18, I made some big profits from cryptocurrencies and withdrew about 6x of my previous bank balance. But I received no follow-back from my bank. Rather I received call from my bank representative offering me zero-fees credit card and some other privileges.
However, I had to disclose my source of income while paying income tax. In that, I showed all my profits as capital gains and never received any inquiry from Income Tax Department about the exact source of income.

I dout that bank will contact police, it will contact your tax institution.
I would recommend to ask the same institution how you should pay the income tax correctly and if you are afraid after that, then just divide in smaller amounts.

If in the UK there are too many strict laws about crypto and its business, I think you should not provide any information about it at all. You can withdraw money from crypto-fiat liquidity exchanges and then use the money to buy gold or stocks. Don't deposit at the bank too much because suddenly you have a lot of money again, the police will come in and investigate what you are doing and have a lot of money. If they detect you trading crypto, I'm afraid you will be subject to very high taxes.

Let me explain first:

This is not financial advice but my own experience of cashing out big amount using banks, cash and cc.

First of all, i believe u r in UK so therefore you a little bit screwed. But no worries there is nice way to cash your profits out.
Ok, if you wish to use UK banks and cash out none of majors will help. Lloyds/halifax(same bank-they hate crypto stuff), Rbs/santander/hsbc/barclays are the worst ones. Them banks offering faster payments but you can be sure that they will delay anything which is deemed suspicious. Most of uk banks over 15k will fill SAR against you to NCA and this basically means you will loose control over your funds for a period of 7-30 working days.
Bank usually send request to NCA to validate TX or to block for further enquiry. Because of laws in UK bank will be quiet about this and if you try to call them and find out whats happening they will simply ignore you untill NCA answer shows up. Now funny part: if you go to branch of any on this banks-clerk will not see anything wrong. They wont be able to send/withdraw /move funds but simply will have message to contact customer support.

About NCA and SAR read more here: The principal relevant legislation is the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) and the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 (MLR), whose combined effect is that banks will often feel compelled to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to the National Crime Agency (NCA), and not complete a transaction until the NCA consents.

Santander going even further when you trying open bank account and if they ask about crypto and you confirm you will be using account for any crypto related stuff they will not open your account or terminate already opened if they see any funds from or to exchanges.

Metro bank is rather neutral but their fraud filters will block anything suspicious. Every "new account" opened in any bank using learning system. How you spend /how you get paid, how big transfers you getting and how big you making.
Sometimes if you not spending big amounts and choose to buy TV in argos transaction is on hold untilll bank verify this is coming from account holder.

Same with transfers. If you never made big transfer and one day choose to do let say 30% of your account balance your transfer will be stoped and blocked for 24h , after that time or bank will contact you or they will allow tx to go ahead.

Fun fact: if you spend in short time span 50% of your funds and try to send another 10% this tx will be blocked also.

Ok, what about nationwide? Stay away from it! they got small limits and they like to block users funds untill you show up in branch with ID. Beside Nationwide is known for blocking users funds which was using crypto exchanges like coinfloor or bittylicious sellers.

So how to cash out you asking?

First you need to make sure you have good accountant and you paying taxes from your trading or business. Secondly apply for estonian E-residency. Small card which allows any otehr nationality that estonian to open and run business in estonia under their tax laws and banking system.

Good accountant will make sure you in right place with your taxes. estonia is great place with lower tax brackets if you wish to pay taxes there. Just make sure your business account is linked to your exchange account. Otherwise as a person you will be liable to tax in UK and estonia. And you dont wont that do you?

Im happy e-resident of estonia. Its really working. And all this is perfectly legal.

Good luck.

If cryptocurrency is not illegal in your country and it doesn't violate any law in the government, I think you don't have to be afraid if ever police would come and ask you some questions. But you can go to your local bank branch and deposit your money, if they ask you some question, then I think that's the time you could answer. But if they didn't ask at all, you don't have to tell them. Plus, I don't think that the bank will just call the police that fast without investigating on their own or looking at your history of transactions?

Here in in the Philippines, if the bank account notices that you have huge suspicious deposits they would ask you where it's from. They would ask many proofs that if it was really from a legal crypto investment. Authorities will just investigate you if you can't prove your claims. As long as what you're saying is true and you can prove it then you have nothing to worry about.

If I was in your case that the police are abusive like that then I would find someone I can trust to do peer to peer exchange.

Common reason why people doesn't really like to comply KYC or do show off their identities when they go involved of crypto due to these various reasons.
We do have the same behavior on showing off or whats being needed as long you do know that you haven't involved into something illegal but as you said those
possibilities can happen really into you which in result with headaches later on or the worst you would got imprisoned depending on how you defend yourself.

Yes exchanges have been informed.

I do have old files - last modified on: august 7th 2015... what's in it for me? am I getting my crave-lambo or a crave-hondacivic or at least a fuckin certificate of stupidity or something?

Actually they will know the assets that we had since we use an exchange who regulated by government. Most of them will ask KYC to make an account which is mean they will know what we have for sure. Otherwise if use decentralized exchange or even a hardware wallet maybe it will be difficult to track our asset and it will keep our identities secretly. Since my government has been accepting cryptocurrency and they including it as a commodity I make a deposit or withdraw cryptocurrency to money fiat transparently. I just thought these thing should be done by me and I won't make everything can be seen by government, as a form of gratitude because they have received cryptocurrency well and maybe what I have done in return for them.

I understand this because it might look suspicious that the holder of the account is into in bad business like fraud, rubbery etc but the solution is to start to transfer money to the account gradually and with time bigger amount can be transferred to the account. With this way, it won't be an issue but if large some enters at once, questions will be asked.

Your gusto is appreciated, but it would be good if you could drop in the discord and communicate further with the current team on your ideas.As I communicated to you in PM, keeping with  the ideological notion purity is important, as is staying in line with  regulatory standards. Crave began with No ICO, Pre-mine, or block portions attributed towards development funding. But at the same time, the project has been abandoned by previous teams/ Devs, and now has a new team from the community. The team is trying to grow the team, and proceed forth with developments. The reality is , with no development funds available, the team members have been funding the project, and have all been volunteers. Some support has come from others in the community as well, be it funding, providing knowledge, experience, or other means of support. Proposals are planned to be put forth to gain access to funding through the MN governance system. But because that source must come from the voting of solely MN holders, it remains to be seen if  the MN holders will get behind the proposals. Currently almost half the coin supply is held by the top 25 wallets. If those top 25 wallets are held by the same persons  or those top 25 wallets, or  even a majority holder of MN decides too, the person(s) can submit their own proposals and vote on them and exploit the governance system and take those funds for whatever purpose, even if its not in any way towards the further development of the project. There are definitely positive aspects to having a MN system. But there are the downsides to funding development that is solely based on the governance of a MN model. In many cases it seems to work, as long as the majority of MN holders are supportive of proposals or  MN are somewhat distributed among many users who  create a bit of diversity  and more likely balanced voting. Projects trying to evolve will severely struggle without some type of funding. Even if every person volunteered with technical support, there will be costs to some degree. So it may be that a portion of block rewards may need to be apportioned towards developments. There are chains that are doing this in a balanced way and also taking into account regulatory guides, and purity as it relates to the ideology of what Cryptos originally stands for, which is Freedom & Sovereignty over ones life. As a community driven project, these are some topics of discussion, and all input and feedback is valued.

Thanks,
