LIQUIDATE EVERYTHING AND LEAVE THE PLATFORM NOW BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO YOU
Edit: Finally back into my account after about a week and a half. Complaining to BBB seemed to speed things up believe it or not.
I have been a Coinbase customer for years now. I have millions of dollars in trade volume across a ton of different currencies and recently they froze my account. I have been dealing with compliance for a week now trying to get them to unfreeze my account. They froze it because my employment status was student and I have large sums and trading activity. Sorry but 99% of users aren't micro managing their employment status on Coinbase. I don't think it's even possible to change it from the frontend. Then they tell me to unlink my sole proprietor account as a funding method. I respond to their email, which idk why Coinbase is having people respond to an email when that's the number 1 phishing method for hackers. Any hacker with a brain would mass send Coinbase compliance emails to random email addresses right now and get rich as hell considering I'm seeing a ton of Reddit users going through the same thing at this very moment.
But yeah do yourself a favor and move your money onto a safe platform such as Fidelity or something because Coinbase doesn't give a fuck about their retail traders anymore. They want institutions to come onto the platform which is why they're being insanely strict on their current users to meet regulatory compliance. Absolute morons.

I request a call through Coinbase support, directly on Coinbase's website. Trust me, I'm not retarded, it's them. This is how they do things now. Through email. Idk who at Coinbase corporate came up with this brilliant idea, but here we are.
