My 0.02 BTC already became worth almost $ 1,000 and fox.exchange is not willing to send my money back (and they also refuse to proceed the exchange).

I've been in contact with fox.exchange for already three weeks. I have hand in my identity along with a proof of residence. I was offered to a video call in which I must proof the origin of my Bitcoins.

As mentioned in my very first post, it is impossible. I had withdrawn my Bitcoins more than 2.5 years ago from a marketplace in the deepweb, where I had purchased Adderall.

I just want my money back (or at least the swap to ETH). What can I do against this vicious fox.xchange ?

It is just 0.02 BTC which today is ($600).

I'm really scared of going to this KYC process.

What could have been the reason that the fox.exchange alarm system reacted to my transaction as a FRAUDULENT
How do they know that the address (connected with mine) came from a darknet marketplace ??

Hi there,

Something really stupid happened to me. I wanted to exchange around 0.02 BTC ($ 650) for ETH at fox.exchange
The order was canceled and fox.exchange writes to me that they will not refund my money if I do not do KYC / AML.

The problem is that 2.5 years ago I actually deposited bitcoins on a darknet platform to buy Adderal (only for me, no for resale of course). I then had the credit paid out to me. Back then, 0.02 BTC was worth only $ 60. Today it is 10 times more.

What do I do now, do I have to fear that fox.exchange will reveal my identity to American law enforcement authorities?

There are poor people living in Eastern Europe who have to become criminals in order to survive.

In Eastern Europe everyone mistrusts everyone, at least that is my experience as a tourist.

Even Eastern European women see crime as an attractive feature and are less averse to having a criminal partner compared to women from Eastern Europe.

Hallo again,

I am the topic starter.

I live in Germany and have been offered to sell my bitcoins for 6% above market value.

The guy I was in contact with said, it would be safest if I am going to fly into his country (Eastern Europe) to do the deal (he would also pay the flight tickets for $400).
The guy who wanted to give me the money (cash or bank transfern in currency EUR) didn't want to travel to Germany for some strange reason (e.g. he earns so much money that it is a waste of time).

As an alternative he suggested, that I can stay at home and I should send him 0.2 bitcoins first and then he would send me the money € 3,333 via bank transfers. And in the next step he has the full risk by first sending me €6.666 and I will send him the remaining 0.4 Bitcoins.

I had very big doubts, after all, he could have disappeared with my 0.2 bitcoins and could not continue to send me the money by bank transfer.


Ultimately, I looked for an Escrow service here.

I suggested this escrow service to the guy in Eastern Europe and he refused by telling that the had bad experience is with such an escrow service.
Overall there were a lot of more warning signs and I'm really glad I didn't trade without your Escrow services.

Maybe everything could have gone well but I think I could have faced a danger.

Hey there,

I am looking for some advice

I want to sell some of my Bitcoins in return of USD 12,000 .

And I need a trustee or an Escrow service for this trade.

The impartial Escrow Service should not pay out the bitcoins until the consideration has been met or no dispute has been filed.

I found this, but it has become really old.
