Can't get Bitcoins out of LBC
9 years ago, I used to use LBC extensively while I lived overseas. I am a US citizen and ran into issues with KYC and verification; they asked for a bunch of verifications, and the process wasn't working on the technical side, and customer support wasn't helpful. I had only $300 in there, so after some attempts, I let it drop and forgot about it. Fast forward to today - that $300 has ballooned to almost $90,000. And I am still having issues with customer service getting my coins out. They sent me a bunch of verifications again, and this time, the KYC worked, but I still can't get my coins out due to another technical glitch, and customer service isn't being particularly responsive.
$90,000 is absolutely worth suing over especially given my documentation where I first tried to follow their process in early 2015. I'm not sure how the escrow would work, but I am willing to work out an escrow type agreement where I offer $25,000 to a former LBC employee or anyone else who can get my BTC out of localbitcoins.com. I am a law abiding US citizen with perfectly straightforward KYC and no history of illegal activities. There is absolutely no reason I should not be able to access my own Bitcoins. It is misappropriation at this point, and I am in contact with several international law firms to help resolve the issue. But this might be faster. DM me if you have the means to help, and we can work out putting $25,000 in escrow and signing a legally binding contract. At $90,000 it's just now worth suing over. $1 million (we're probably getting there sooner or later) is worth traveling to Finland, tracking down and suing individual former employees. So LBC can make this as easy or as painful as they want it to be.
