I used a mixer and then got banned from exchange. Now what?

[futurefinance]

So I week ago I used a mixer to send .1 eth from one wallet to another.  The wallets I used have never been sent to or from a CEX but did have the connection indirectly.  So yeah I just got banned from my main exchange that I hardly use anyways but would need it to go fiat on/offramp.  So is anything connected to this wallet tainted now?  Will I be able to use a different CEX for on/off ramp?  I am american btw.  What do I do now?

Not totally sure what the best thing to do is, but if I were in your situation, what I would do is send the coins to probably a dozen wallet addresses, and continue sending and sending to different wallet addresses for a month or so(probably 20 times? depending on how sure you want to be); so if your coins have been sent over with a good number of hops, hopefully their system ignores the mixing history.

all you have to do is ask the exchanger who was banned. then why was it banned. ask for a solution what to do to get it unbanned. crypto currency is nothing strange your coins come from anywhere will not be questioned. the solution is just above that contact the CS exchanger. or use another exchanger if you want to cash out the crypto you have into fiat money. via p2p or sell directly to crypto users where you live.

Just so you know — there have been a decent number of posts here on Bitcointalk and other crypto-communities concerning their CEX accounts being banned because of them mixing/CJing their coins. There have been several exchanges that have already spoken about this as well.

If it were to be for the CEX alone, they would not bother since this is a business, they will just look away and continue to give you the best of services. But it is beyond that now and we should expect worse over time because regulators are now on their necks, CEX doesn't want to be painted black obviously with what m!xers are known for these days. Of course, they are in a better position to help the law enforcers more and they must continue to cooperate to avoid fines and keep their business running. Regardless, I believe you should have known better, no one should send their m!xed coin directly to the exchange, it risks banning and I expect this to be more strict with time.

Exchanges, on the other hand, could be overbearing at times, they might want to seize the coin and claim it for themselves, which might be the reason why they ban the account at times. I am just saying, it could be either of the two as I explained. The situation is not that bad if your money is clean, but I advise now that you should avoid dealing with anything linked to that address if they are centralised/custodial. You might open a fresh one for new transactions and if there is still money lurking somewhere in them, you might first want to use DEX to fix it and start afresh if you would use CEX again.

With the recent discussions about mixers i do not think it would be wise to keep on using addresses related to or has a connection to the ones that got banned i am guessing you are going to have to identify the specific conditions about the ban did they close your account and you can no longer access your coins?

For now just try to be the most careful since you are dealing with mixers

[Natsuu]

Using a mixer might have caused your main exchange to ban you. The wallet could be flagged. You could try talking to their support. For on/off-ramp, check out decentralized exchanges or peer-to-peer platforms. Make sure not to use the same address

What was the reason of sending 0.1 to exchange using a mixer? I mean it is very small amount. I wouldn't use a mixer for that much money.
And Did Exchange gave any reason of that ban? did they told you they've banned you for this particular reason? maybe the ban was for some other reasons. try contacting them via customer supporter. You might be able to get your account back.

You didn't tell us which exchange you used.
Every exchange has different policy and you didn't even ask the exchange why you got banned. Maybe that mixer wallet has been flagged

If transaction from mixer wallet to your exchange wallet confirmed than their is no others solution than getting back your exchange account unbanned. You have not provided details why your account has been banned and whether you have contacted support team or nkt and what reply you got from team. If you gives all these details then it will be easy to recognize your case. You should contact your exchange and I hope you will get your fund if you have not done against exchanges rules and regulations.

How many fiat payment gateway options do you still have? Binance US is out so you're probably left with Coinbase and Robinhood? mk4 suggested multiple hops over a period of time and I think that's the safest option you have. I would have suggested a combination of mixer + at least two hops using DEX if you're not willing to wait that long and if you're willing to take that risk. You can pick no KYC exchanges from the list https://kycnot.me/?type=exchange

Exchange are maybe careful to deal with balances coming from exchange that's why it happen so maybe the best thing to do is to contact the exchange support then ask for certain clarification regarding on that case so that you can be get a clear words if you can still get those funds or not. Next time maybe try to avoid redirecting your funds to that exchange especially if they are been monitored by government since this might really happen again if another transaction by using those platform will happen.

Also clarify if what exchange is that since if it happen you send it on binance then they are strict regarding on funds sent comes from mixers especially the latest controversy happen on a big mixer site hit so hard since it has been seized by government and they are tracking each transaction happen maybe to track people using their services.

Exchanges might have tracked you withdrawing the balance to a mixer address or the ban could be a unconnected one. If you are using the same wallet to send and receive from mixer than that would not work. But if you mixed and sent to a new address, the new coins should be good. Just stop using the old flagged addresses and empty the balance using a way that would not track to you. Get in touch with the exchange and find the real reason for ban and follow any instruction they might provide for staying safe in the future.

The exchange is gemini.  I did .1e cause I wanted a wallet to pay people with that isnt connected to my main wallets.

Went like this.  CEX ---> wallet 1 ---> wallet 2 ----> wallet 3 ---> mixer
I havent sent from the CEX to wallet 1 in months.

Yes I contacted support.  They wont reverse it, my account is gone.  So hoping theres another CEX I can use to on/offramp 100s of thousands in USD.

And why do you think the exchange banned you from using their service even though you didn't deposit the mixed crypto to the exchange?

Usually, the exchanges won't ban the account unless the deposited fund is tainted not because the person may deposit the tainted funds and they have no right to assume in that way.

First, ask customer support about the reason for your ban. And if you already did, just ask for the actual reason irrespective whether you get back your account or not.

They probably track the transaction by source of funds. I am not sure how they detect the mixers or how many transactions they track. So better avoid any connections with mixers and exchanges that don't allow you to use a mixer. Otherwise, even if you move other exchanges, you won't be safe. Always try to get fresh coins into exchanges where mixers aren't allowed. I advise you not to take a risk; they might block your account with large funds.

Most of the time, they didn't even tell where the money goes

Why you use that exchange.
that's not good CEX, coinbase is better. i heard there is many issue with that CEX especially they commit user fraud

So you just let it go now?

Have you ever contacted the customer service of the exchange to know the reason while you got ban in the exchange because of the mixer you used, their is something that come to my knowledge concerning cryptocurrency and exchange, their is some certain exchange that doesn't have affliction with some of mixers and whenever they detect were your coin is coming from they may think that the coin is a stolen money converted to coin and mix it so that it will not be traceable and if it happens to be traceable their exchange can be seized without informing them

[batang_bitcoin]

That's how they see people using mixers as if folks are criminals but they have to do it in compliance with the law that is also monitoring them.
You have to abandon that wallet if there is no more balance but if there are still some balance on it, aside from transferring it to several addresses that you own although that's not guaranteed, you can use swap or instant exchanges for your own convenience and just convert it into another altcoin.

And yet you didn't tell us which exchange

You probably have access to search engines like Google, but alright, here's one quick article: https://news.bitcoin.com/another-crypto-exchange-discourages-the-use-of-bitcoin-mixing-services/

Binance, Paxos, Coinbase, and pretty much almost any exchange that isn't planning on getting shut down.
