Beware of GEMINI Exchange!! Not your keys; not your crypto. I've been using the Gemini exchange for several years, and have kinda liked them, particularly their "earn" feature. Well, until today, 04/Oct/2022, that is. They just completely, with no warning or explanation, FROZE my account, and when I reach out to their support, I am asked to submit some ridiculous photo, (selfie + original ID + note with handwritten date), to prove .... well, I haven't a clue what they are trying to prove. Maybe that it is time I stop using them? Attached is a portion of the email support sent me telling me what I needed to do to get my account unfrozen. I submitted the photo, and as expected, they rejected it, saying that, "After reviewing the photo uploaded, the quality of the picture does not allow for the details of your ID to be legible." So I sent two more photos. We'll see if either of those meets their criteria. In the meantime, I can't even close my account, as I have no way to access my funds! When folks tell you to beware of these centralized exchanges, THEY ARE NOT KIDDING! Leaving your crypto on a centralized exchange is just a disaster waiting to happen.
