They refused to answer the State Attorney General in fact they avoided answering the question all together and repossessed my vehicle all together based on the lie they created.

Sub-product: Virtual currency
Issue: Other service problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/, 2020, I opened an account at Gemini ( https : //gemini.com/ ) and submitted all identify verification information, including my social security number and a photo of my Driver 's License. At that time, since it looked like an interesting cryptocurrency platform, I referred 12 friends to Gemini via their referral program ( receive {$10.00} in BTC for each friend you refer after they buy or sell {$100.00} ). Shortly thereafter, I received a message that my account was frozen. As advised in that message, I contacted customer support by submitting a ticket at https : //support.gemini.com/hc/requests/new explaining that my account was frozen, and offering to provide whatever information is needed to unfreeze it.

Over the next two weeks, I submitted six different support requests via support tickets, via email to XXXX, and via phone to XXXX ( which just goes to a voicemail system ). I did not receive a single response until my sixth communication attempt on XX/XX/, 2020. I received a generic/boilerplate reply on that date as follows : -- - Hi XXXX, Thank you very much for your patience. 

Our Compliance team is diligently working through all registrations while maintaining the highest level of account validation standards to ensure the security of all of our users.

Please be sure that your submitted ID is a clear image of your Driver 's license ( US or XXXX residents only ) or passport as verification process as obscured or blurry images can cause delays to your verification. 

We truly appreciate your patience during this process and will notify you by email of any next steps. 

Onward and Upward, Gemini Customer Support -- - Then on XXXX XXXX, 2020, I received this email : -- - Hello, Due to a recent account review, Gemini has determined your account must be closed. At this time, we are not able to elaborate on the specifics for this decision. 

If your account contains a balance of USD and/or any supported digital assets, you will have 5 days from the receipt of this email to withdraw the entirety of your funds, at which point your account will be closed. 

If your account is closed and a balance remains, please email XXXX. 

Thank you, Team Gemini -- - Of course, my account is still frozen, so I'm unable to withdraw my approximately {$140.00} in funds. I sent a reply to that email requesting that they transfer my funds to a different BTC wallet, but I doubt I'll get a response before my account is closed in 5 days. 

Gemini appears to be a complete scam, convincing people to sign up, then stealing their money.
