Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.
stock option exercise timing. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.
Every time I see a post like this...
The trap most people fall into is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
DeFi protocol hacks are unfortunately in a legal gray area. If the protocol has a bug bounty program and the hacker returns funds, some projects have declined to pursue legal action. But "code is law" isn't actually a legal defense.
This is why I just use a CEX now. DeFi tax headaches aren't worth it for me personally.
I use TokenTax and it handles most DeFi protocols automatically now.
The Infrastructure Act reporting requirements are going to make this even more complicated.
