Not gonna lie as far as I know, i'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

crypto exchange froze my withdrawal. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and teh situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $49,878. I have tried contacting their legal department 2 times with no resolution.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

This is depressingly common.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

Has anyone tried [reaching out to their legal department directly]?
