Coinbase blocked all of my account! : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets

Id prefer to keep the number of accounts I had at Conbase private but I had more than 5 different accounts under different IDs and have been using them for over 2 years now with no trouble. Last night Coinbase froze all of the accounts and I have no reply in my support tickets, same shit happened to a friend of mine who currently lives in another country.

Anyone has any idea whats going on? I literally have one of the best OPSEC setups around here so anyone has any idea as to how the fuck they figured it out Im using them to buy drugs?

Coinbase tints their crypto and monitors where they are spent. Merely converting your crypto to XMR is enough to get you whitelisted from the site.

From Conbase to personal wallet to Binance to Monero to Monero to Monero to Binance to Bitcoin to market.

In that case I'm assuming that they followed up with binance regarding XMR conversions. With that said, I doubt anything will happen to you.

I doubt that too but I wonder if number of transactions and volume are enough to start an investigation, thanks

Its most likely that they have linked your 5 coinbase accounts to each other, and are now in a fraud investigation because its odd to have 5 seperate accounts... i think the best case scenario right now is they cant link anything to dark web stuff, but they dont like the fact that you have 5 accounts with them, so they are frozen pending investigation... at the end, they can either unfreeze them, give you the option to move the money because they are going to blacklist you but couldnt find anything illegal.. or they wil leave them frozen and hand over their investigation to LE. If you followed good opsec, hopfully they cant link anything illegal to anything, and they eventually close the investigation.

Will I be notified if LE is involved or I signed not to when I signed up? Thank you.

Nope...LE generally does the notifications... at your front door... but thats usually after they have a pretty good idea that you have something they want behind your door, lol. If you were a small time buyer, and not some huge vendor moving thousands on a regular basis, you are probably OK as far as LE goes... but if coinbase says you broke their terms of service, they can probably keep your accounts or something, because companies are shitty these days, and i havent read their fine print, but prob has the part where they own your soul and all assets etc, lol.

Why would coinbase care if you're converting the btc > monero?
/u/Aphorism

Coinbase is affiliated heavily with LE, and because of Monero's nature, Coinbase must prohibit its users from undergoing any transaction or trading of the cryptocurrency.

Have you sent BTC straight to the market, or Coinbase -> Your wallet -> Market without cleaning the bitcoin first ?
/u/360degree 📢

Never, I always buy Bitcoin which I convert to Monero using Binance and from there to 2 different wallets before sending back to Bitcoin when needed.

So you did fiat -> coinbase -> binance -> xmr -> your own xmr wallet -> somewhere else ?

Fiat > Conbase > Bitcoin Wallet > Binance > Monero Wallet > Monero Wallet > Monero Wallet > Binance > Bitcoin > Bitcoin Wallet > Market

Binance accounts are burner, only use them once without verifying ID or anything and they have no way to know where those money come from so as to notify the source Conbase

You did fine, this is weird, they did flag your accounts somehow. maybe you logged in using the same machine / browser / ip ?

I had a set pattern I was using whenever buying from Conbase and every single time Id login using different locations, these places have dynamic ip addresses and Ive been very cautious, have gone as far as to having multiple browsers installed, machine has been the same but it reverts back to a set version I guess I could say, just like when you factory reset a phone and its left with whatever came with

If all of them were locked they must have linked them somehow, Coinbase is notorious for doing this and most likely they won't give you any meaningful explanation.

I wouldn't get my hopes up and as a general rule never leave coin in a centralized exchange, withdraw as soon as you can, if you don't control the private keys it's not your coin. Hope you haven't lost much, if any.

Thank you for the advice, house is clean, I rarely touch drugs myself, been trying to find out where the leak was if theres any but nothing.

I think multiple accounts are fine. Many people use multiple accounts in order to implement different investment strategies or in case being hacked and losing all funds.
But I do believe it's not darknet related. The path is untraceable and the relation is unlinkable.More importantly, if they do find out it's darknet related, I think they won't do it until LE knock your front door first.
Constantly moving coins from Coinbase to Binance can be suspicious.Because it's an unnecessary step and a waste of money as well. You can just buy btc from Binance directly and in no need to pay a commission. However you'd rather do more work and waste extra money. It's unusual and finally they become aware of this weirdness and decide to freeze your accounts just in case.

Maybe it is suspicious but freezing accounts just for that is fucked

Theoretically there should be a way to defreeze if you can make a reasonable explanation about your behaviour. But maybe you'd better let it go.

Silly question, were you logging into all these separate accounts from different IP addresses?

You can also be linked by audio context fingerprinting, canvas fingerprinting, font fingerprinting etc.

you fucked up at using coinbase. they most likely never knew you were buying drugs, could be that its just a piece of shit company.

maybe its linked to your DNM transaction.
the model you told according to that the weak link could be your transaction or timing or amount correlation attack
suppose you have buy 1 BTC through coinbase. (coinbase know its you) -- bitcoin wallet(coinbase knows its you) -- 0.99 btc binance (binance knows its you through btc) --- xmr (equivalent 0.99 btc) --- xmr (equivalent 0.99 btc) ---xmr (equivalent 0.99 btc) --- binance ( 0.99 btc) . They have chananalysis like software. they search the whole btc blockchain and since amount is very close to 1 btc , its not difficult for them to link two transaction to identify you. Also we are talking about monero here exchanges and LE work closely to analyse/flag btc monero related transaction.

also monero has fewer transactions then bitcoin so the anonymity set is lower. not to forget
including weak privacy protection like remote nodes change address, address reuse , broadcasting transactions without tor etc . i can write a book about how people gets deanonymised lol.

The only thing i can think of is you had near perfect opsec the ids you use were reported sus.I guessing they were fake ands seomeone else use the same ids on the exchange or u were loging into each account around the same time everytime

same thing happened to me the other day and i am with crypto.com froze my accounts after buying eth and sending to external accounts a few times in the same day. i assule like someone mentioned they find it odd buying and sending directly out. asked for a bicture of me holding my bank card i didnt set up the account in my name was in some smack heads details so had go chase them down and get a picture was a bit of a nightmare but after sending picks then unblocked my account. Have they not emailed you a reason for shutting them or is it because of the 5 accounts being linked i fukin hate coinbase they are worse then paypal in crypto terms but regulations on crypto now in general is a fukin joke hence why i try to only use monero now hopefully you get it sorted.
