Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

crypto exchange froze my withdrawal. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $20,184. I have tried contacting customer support 3 times with no resolution.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Can confirm the demand letter approach works. I used a template from a legal website, customized it with my specific facts and statutory references, sent it via certified mail, and had a settlement check within 30 days. Total cost: $7 for postage.

Make sure you're tracking cost basis correctly. That's where most people mess up with yield farming.

This is why I just use a CEX now. DeFi tax headaches aren't worth it for me personally.

The Infrastructure Act reporting requirements are going to make this even more complicated.
