Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
crypto exchange froze my withdrawal. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
The amount being held/disputed is approximately $4,364. I have tried contacting customer support 10 times with no resolution.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the EFTA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct timely disputed.
