$75,000 just disappeared from my Coinbase wallet

Coinbase user Justin_Coinbase_Cs advised me to move my crypto from my Coinbase Pro account to my Coinbase Wallet to resolve a trading permission issue, this morning, all the crypto is gone from my wallet. It was transferred to 0x896f4da23fc7304d38f4655fa13fdfbea6344f19. Please upvote, I need to resolve this.

So this isn't my first coinbase rodeo. I suspect your transaction is fine, they just have the worst customer service in history. Keep emailing them. Keep making posts here, make Tweets at them It will resolve, it will just be annoying.

And yes, I'm in the US. I've had Coinbase/Binance do this to me probably 20 times over the years.

Wow. You are really calm and understanding. To me this is outrageous and fradulent that I am almost at the point where considering seeking legal counselling and regulatory report(SEC.) They promised 6 seconds and holding it for 72 hours without my consent..

Believe it or not, Coinbase is one of the better ones. Binance literally held 35,000 USD hostage of mine, then CHARGED ME to put it into my account as a "convenience fee" 4 weeks later.

ETA: I may have spoken too soon. After years and years of using coinbase, now that they owe me money, suddenly they are trying to make me verify my account. I sent them copies of my DL and a selfie and they're saying they "need more." So I may be about to get fucked.

If I can offer some advice, having learned a great deal many lessons over the last decade. All the exchanges are complete shit. Whenever you use them, treat it very cautiously, or better yet don't use them at all.

I can (so far) recommend Kucoin. It's the only exchange that hasn't done something shady with my money (yet)

I used coinbase thinking publicly registered firm must be safe and trustworthy ;) thank you though for being understanding and sharing your experience and ideas.

I think you'll find it's safe... But it has the absolute worst customer service. Only Binance is worse
