P.S. Can someone with high rank please help embed the collage image below so it's visible to everyone immediately?

Sure, why not? Here it is, it's better for you to upgrade to a copper account so you can take out limitationin your newbie account

You really keep us updated on the development of your case. You are better than one guy who took 5 months before he addressed his million-dollar issue, so keep it up.

Thanks, aioc, for embedding the collage and for the advice! Regarding the Copper account — it's a bit ironic, but Binance is currently holding all my liquid funds, so I'm fighting this case with zero balance for now. I'd rather keep every cent for the legal process if it comes to that.

I really appreciate the community's support in keeping this evidence visible. Tomorrow, I will be submitting this proof of status manipulation to ADGM FSRA as an official supplement to my case.

Update: Just submitted the new evidence of status tampering to ADGM FSRA (Case #00356155). I also provided them with the full history of 'negotiations' where Binance support was lowering the ransom from $12.5k to $5k. Now the regulator has the full picture of this 'P2P dispute' fabrication.

[Asurinda]

Update: Total lack of transparency from both Binance and ADGM FSRA.

It has been weeks since I provided the Regulator (ADGM FSRA) with clear evidence of extortion ($5,000 "unlock fee") and subsequent data manipulation (manual change of status to "P2P Dispute" without any actual orders).

Current situation:

1    Binance finally replied from their "inactive" email, claiming they don't accept legal notices via email and told me to "go back to chat" (where the extortion happened in the first place). Total circle-jerk strategy.

2    ADGM FSRA assigned two case numbers (#00356155 and #00357872) but has since gone silent. No confirmation if they even demanded audit logs for the faked P2P status.

I am giving the Regulator another 24 hours to provide a procedural update. If the "transparency" of ADGM is just a marketing slogan, the community needs to know that licensed VASPs here can flip account statuses at will to cover up for rogue staff.

Screenshots of Binance’s "inactive" reply and the faked P2P status are ready to be published if they keep playing ghost.

Update: Binance is changing "reasons" for the 3rd time.

  As soon as the pressure regarding the fake 'P2P Dispute' status intensified, Binance manually changed the reason again. Now it's a generic 'Terms of Use' violation. This is the 3rd status change in 2 months. They are clearly erasing tracks of their previous data manipulation before the Regulator steps in.

P.S. Can any Senior/Hero member please quote this post and re-upload the image? I want this evidence of a "third status change" to be visible to everyone immediately without clicking. It’s important to document how the licensee is jumping from one excuse to another.

The crypto community is now discussing a lot against Binance. Many dark chapters about Binance are currently available on various social media platforms, which makes Binance very embarrassed, as can be understood from the busyness of Binance's owners.

I think you should also join the crypto community on social media and expose Binance's behavior regarding this case.

Thanks for the support. I've already filed a formal DSAR to get the system logs of these status changes and escalated the case to the FSRA. I won't let this slide into a 'dark chapter' without a fight.

Keep building up the pressure. Community pressure forced Binance to issue a statement regarding the 10/10 liquidation a few days ago. There are also many other allegations against them that no one has talked about for a long time, but they are being talked about, albeit late. I hope you will continue your fight and get what you deserve.

Update: March 10. Total silence for 3 weeks.
Binance DPO has failed to provide my account audit logs (DSAR) within a reasonable timeframe, and the FSRA complaint remains unanswered by the licensee. They keep my $5k locked under a vague "possible violation" status without any evidence.

It's clear that the 3-time status change was an attempt to buy time. Today I am escalating this to the ADGM Commissioner of Data Protection. Transparency is non-existent here.

UPDATE (March 10):
Official escalation complete. I have just received confirmation from the ADGM FSRA Enforcement Department.

Interestingly, the FSRA has recently updated its complaint system, adding a specific verification layer for Binance-related claims. This clearly indicates a high volume of similar issues.

My complaint now officially includes:

    Failure to comply with the DSAR (Subject Access Request) regarding the manual audit logs.

    Documented data manipulation (the 3 status changes we tracked here).

    Bad faith conduct by Nest Services Limited during active investigation cases #00357872 / #00356155.

The regulator's Enforcement team is now assessing these violations. The "quiet period" for Binance is over.

[UPDATE March 12] Final result: Funds released, but the story isn’t over.

It’s 4 AM here, and I’m writing this simply because I finally can. After 4 months of silence, shifting "reasons," and absolute uncertainty, my $5,000 has been released. I have successfully withdrawn everything to my cold wallet.

I’m just a regular user who refused to be ignored. But this isn’t just my win. I want to honestly thank everyone in this thread — from the Legendary members who pointed me toward the ADGM regulations to those who just kept the topic alive. Together, we created a cost of silence that Binance (Nest Services Ltd) could no longer afford.
Why the wall finally broke:

For those following the case, it wasn't "support" that helped. The breakthrough happened exactly 48 hours after I stopped talking to bots and moved the case to:

1    ADGM FSRA Enforcement Department: I presented the documented absurdity where they demanded a $12,500 refund for a $5,000 deposit.

2    Office of Data Protection (ODP): I challenged their three manual changes to my account status logs. Turns out, regulators don't like it when a licensed entity "adjusts" data to justify a freeze.

The "Resolution" (or lack of it):

Binance decided to terminate my account and return the funds "under their Terms of Use." No apology, no explanation for the 120-day delay, and no word on why my family had to spend the New Year and children’s birthdays without access to our own money.

They think that by returning the balance, the case is closed. I don’t see it that way. A return of stolen property doesn't compensate for the distress and the bad-faith conduct I’ve documented over these months.

 -   I am currently evaluating my next steps regarding a formal claim for Aggravated Damages under Section 54 of the ADGM Data Protection Regulations.

 -   I am also finalizing a detailed "Chronology of Falsification" that shows exactly how internal logs were manipulated.

To Binance: You returned the money because you had no choice under regulatory pressure. But the record of your conduct remains.

To the community: Thank you for being the only real "support" I had. I’ll keep you updated on the next phase. The goal now is accountability, not just recovery.

Congratulations bro, you did great a job by insisting on recovering your money which is rightfully yours. The community wouldn't have helped you if you were hesitant or feel weakness against the giant binance. I wish everybody can be brave and persisting to defend their positions regardless of how big is the company. Continue working to hold them accountable for the disruption and to prosecute them for their misjudgment of thosewhome they deal with. Please keep updating this topic as everybody should read this case since binance is considered as the most reputed exchanger in the actual market.

Thank you, @coupable, and everyone who followed this.

You are absolutely right — without this community, a "regular guy" like me would have been crushed in silence. I want to be clear: this isn't my victory. This is a victory for Bitcointalk.

When the giant ignored my emails and tried to impose "alternative logic" (demanding 250% of my deposit to release it), this thread was the only thing that forced them into the light. The transparency of this forum is the only real regulator in the crypto world. I was just the one holding the camera, but the power came from the collective merit and activity of the people here. You proved that the "reputational cost" is still the most effective language for exchanges.

Quick Update on the "Next Steps":
Just as the funds were released, the ADGM Office of Data Protection officially opened a case regarding the data manipulation I documented here (Case Ref: DP-00080).

Binance might think that returning the deposit closes the book. But as many of you suggested, accountability is not just about the money — it's about the 120 days of bad faith and the psychological pressure. We’ve already caught them in a logic trap with their $12,500 demand, and with the support of this community and the formal Case DP-00080, I intend to mirror their own actions back at them.

I will keep this thread updated. We have shown that when this forum speaks, even the biggest players have to listen. The fight for "Aggravated Damages" starts now.

Stay tuned.
