Yes, especially if proven or if I'm close enough to hear from a friend that has personally witnessed or experienced it.

I agree. What if the claims are disputed like the

accusations?

I mean, I don't like Coinbase for many reasons. Coinbase has $1000 of mine sitting in their ERC-20 USDT wallet and refuse to send it back to me. They blatantly lie stating "those funds cannot be recovered by Coinbase." wtf.

, or

wouldn't do that.

This happens from time to time. Usually, "we can't do it" means the recovery mission would cost more than you lost. It's like dropping your sunglasses in the lake and then asking for the lake to be drained in order to find your glasses. You might get lucky when they do it later.

What about this bold faced (literally) lie? *those funds cannot be recovered by Coinbase* Oh, that ERC-20 token is impossible to recover? Is keeping that $1,000 from me worth losing years of a loyal client, *many* multiples of that $1k of prior in trading + future revenue?

It's like dropping your burger on the ground and asking McDonalds to clean it for you. Could they clean it? Yes. Are they in the business of doing that? No. Would it be easier for them to just give you another burger for free if they care about keeping you as a customer? Yes.

Exactly. If they cared about their customers, they'd credit my account with $1000 of USDC and settle the USDT on the backend. They spent more time, effort, and resources responding to my support tickets than they would have sending the funds back. It's amazing how bad it is.
