-I can file a police report and get my documents notarized
-the 500 BTC were acquired a couple years ago
-they were deposited 2015 into bitfinex
-bitfinex account , wanted to use it only to sell&buy BTC online, no bank withdraws
-I also used funds from my friends to buy bitcoins with cash locally
-I did not use localbitcoins to buy my bitcoins with cash.
I went to a local bar here where bitcoiners met occasionally.
the difficult part is how I can prove the cash I used was obtained legitimately,if I also took money
from friends to buy BTC with cash?
I have access to my electrum wallet and to the transactions I did years ago
but no papers about cash withdraws and my friends investments...
