I agree with gentlemand. They are not going to report to anyone unless they are obligated, i.e., if they find something very illegal in your activity/transactions.

Unless you did something criminal with your BTC, I believe there isn't much to worry about.

Using a dark net market is criminal Sad

“ Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Coinbase. Our primary goal is to make digital currency safe and secure for our customers. Coinbase is a regulated Money Services Business under FinCEN (FinCEN.gov), and as part of achieving this goal, we are legally obligated to implement regulatory compliance mechanisms.

Upon careful review, we believe your account has engaged in prohibited use in violation of our Terms of Service and we regret to inform you that we can no longer provide you with access to our service. We respectfully request that you follow the on-screen instructions presented when you sign in to your Coinbase account to send any remaining balance offsite to an external address.

Should you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know and we'll be happy to help.”

It’s the standard email they send out to everybody whenever they close your account. There was no money in the account (couple pennies), but they let you transfer it out if you do.

They do track transactions, how they know what those transactions are for I have no idea. Some kid on reddit got closed after they “had evidence of cannabis transactions” though was never met with any legal trouble. I’m not even going to bother emailing support about what evidence they have because 99% of the time they say they “can’t disclose what they have.”

Obviously I’m not worried about the $10 but more so about the couple hundred bucks from 3 years ago. Read something about them possibly filing SAR’s with FinCED, though in writing this it feels more like overthinking.

Received the standard email for when coinbase closes your account. Most people are gonna say “I didn’t do anything” “I was working with stocks” BS. Assuming one was using a DNM, does coinbase report to law enforcment after closing your account?

In this example, the last transactions were 3 years ago, and no more than $200- $300 total, though though there was a small transaction (<$10) a few months ago that may have ticked it off as it wasn’t sent to another wallet first.
