Why am I not being allowed to post?

I know I might not look like your typical high stakes sports bettor, but seriously? Asking if I'm currently incarcerated? What is going on right now?

This you?

I assume he means BM is charging the $600 wire fee.

In addition to whatever fee his bank may charge for receiving it.

Yeah I realized that later but thanks for pointing it out anyway. That's a crazy fee, no?

I mean if you were currently incarcerated it would have been pretty hard to run up this magical balance you speak of.

It’s 3% of 20,000. Same as what BOL charges.

LMAO BOOKMAKER KYC IS HILARIOUS FOR THAT

This you?

That was me. I'm not that person anymore, that's for sure.

I don't mind talking about my past. I'm proud of the changes I've made. But it's a very silly thing for KYC to ask. They know I'm not in prison. I've sent them me holding a paper with today's date on it, and I've been begging for them to video call me. None of this would be happening if I was in prison, obviously. I don't know if they're trying to humiliate me or if they're just grasping at straws, but either way it's not what I would have ever expected from a book of their caliber

$20,000 wire hit

 

[mrmcnasty]

If it was me I would just flood them with all sorts of KYC documents. Send them utility bills, bank statement, selfies w your ID and w those docs. I wouldn’t even ask, just do it and hope common sense hits them. Worth trying anything to save on those taxes.

Keep us posted too, I use both of their sites daily and I’m curious how this goes

Hopefully this starts to turn for the better. I don't wish this on anyone but very interesting saga! Never would have guessed BM was the book. Serious balance to be dealing with this crap.

 

[fergusonandre748]

They're refusing to do crypto. They're forcing me to withdraw $146,600 via wire after I've already received $20k, and when the only funding method I've ever used is BTC. It's actually happening

 

[fergusonandre748]

Heres some more communication. It's clear this isn't actually about proving who I am. This is punishment

 

[fergusonandre748]

Probably the last update I'll post, unless they try pulling more BS.

Just completely inexcusable behavior. If they actually did see something that was "suspicious", a video call, video of me withdrawing it from the bank, any single one of my requests would quash those concerns. Allowing someone to deposit in BTC, run up a 6 figure balance, and then forcing them to withdraw via a bank wire is unprofessional and unethical and anyone who says otherwise is a BM employee

 

[fergusonandre748]

My bank closed my account due to suspicious activity. I went from having very little funds, to receiving 2 $20k wires in a short period, and that was enough. I told BM there was a chance this would happen. And now KYC is saying that's not their problem and I can still only do bank wires for payouts. If this happened with my bank that I've had for years, it's 100% gonna happen if I go open a new account somewhere. I guess I'm just never gonna see this money. Good job BM, you won

 

[mrmcnasty]

I would honestly take everything you have here and just show it to the bank manager that sets you up with a new account. Lay it all on the table. Not much to lose at this point. Best of luck man. Of all the books I’m shocked it’s BM pulling this.

Maybe even look into overseas accounts if that fails. It would obviously be worth the flight over there

 

[Ace7550]

What bank closes an account over two 20k wires? Tell them you sold a car or something.

Exactly this! There's nothing to lose and everything to gain. Try different banks, do research on banks that are friendly to overseas or international wires, some may be with a higher fee, etc. Plenty of things to try.

I asked my buddy, who works at Wells Fargo, if they would close an account for receiving two 20k wires and he said definitely no.
