Coinbase closure

[Robert123]

Hey, apologies if I have put this in the wrong section. I made a payment via coinbase the other day for gear, all went fine, revived a "we have received payment" email from the supplier, and the next day I got the below through from coinbase.

Coinbase monitors your purchases. Your account was closed for suspicious activity. Fairly straightforward. You never pay for gear or any dark web activity from your brokerage account. Coins need to be transferred to an anonymous wallet first.

Yea I buy my coins with Coinbase, but transfer then to my mycelium account. And from mycelium to the source. It's a little more time consuming and a little more money cuz of transfer fees.

Damn, after Coinbase, I transfer to a minimum of 3 more wallets, each with fictional names to put more distance between me and the source. I lose a little money in the process but worth it for a little more peace of mind

Ah okay thanks guys, I never even thought about using other wallets. Every other time I have ordered things I have just used coinbase and had no issues. Guess I will set up another account in my partners name next time lol.

Should use other wallets and if on android use samourai wallet and set the security to simulate a coinjar transaction before sending to last anon wallet before buying.

Sure samourai has nodes on the monitored network but we aren't sources and sorry but the NSA or CIA do not care enough to use patriot act to look at me.
