[ EXTERNAL ] - Fw : [ XXXX XXXX ] Re : XXXX XXXX  : Regarding Your XXXX  Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Sent from XXXX Mail for XXXX Begin forwarded message : On Wednesday, XX/XX/2024, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX wrote : You're XXXX right I still have issues.! I have disputed the {$250.00} ACH with my bank as having not been handled in good faith. in addition : The 8 coins I transferred fron XXXX using the SUPPORTED networks were never credited to my account. Their total value was over {$150.00}, and I sent you an audit from XXXX, with a Cc to the SEC, of all 8 transactions WITH THEIR HASHES! 
Due to your mishandling of these, they have been unprotected by stops for FOUR DAYS! 
I RESENT your ignorant, unsupportive, and UNRESPONSIVE holier-than-thou attitude that pervades the ENTIRE crypto market! 
I have uploaded the proof of the uncredited transfers to investor.gov to document your FRAUD and demand that they sue you AGAIN, like they did in XXXX. 
Due to the unpeofessionalism of XXXX, I attempted to withdraw my coins to XXXX, which I previously thought to be inferior, but your bug-riddled system pretended to make the transfer, only to show the coin still present in my portfolio, with only its stop removed. 
The issue of the deleted text reliably occurs when the agent interrups my typing with a response or comment. It's YOUR bug, NOT mine! 

I have only begun to fight you greedy pigs! I will see you totally banned from the U.S., along with the other XXXX  at XXXX and XXXX who also ripped me off.
