Crypto Exchange Dispute — Etsy holding funds for 45 days

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

Etsy holding funds for 45 days. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $26,861. I have tried contacting their legal department 4 times with no resolution.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the EFTA years for this type of claim.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

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