Hi All,

Three days ago SWC froze my account and wouldn't let me cash out my bitcoins. Since then, they have ignored my emails and won't provide any explanation.

Be careful putting money into that site!

I had 1.8 BTC in my account. I was talking about my upcoming poker site but I'm not sure if that's the reason. They haven't replied to any emails, which I find to be very unprofessional.

Call donkdown and find out? 724 lol donk its on tonight. Bummer that's a lot of chips over 2k usd they usually don't lock up arbitrarily . I always saw you in big btc . You can post on bitcointalk and grindabit as they are active in those links as well.

Yeah, I got third place on Sunday and then boom, Monday I couldn't log in

It's frustrating since they won't provide any explanation. Do you know what time that donk down thing starts?

10pm. Is your account email verified? Im pretty shocked they wouldn't answer any emails did you write to admin email? I would pm you the address but you aren't pm eligible. I can give you the correct email on bitcointalk if you don't have the right address I would hope you do though. I would advise you to email micon as well as admin another player had the same problem but it was because of something she did and turns out she locked herself out of her account I don't know if that is your case.

It sure sounds like that was the reason.

Thanks, detective. Definitely a good enough reason to steal someone's money and go dark. You're a troll. Go away.

You didn't mention that in your first post.

Mention what? That they closed my account, took my money and won't reply? I guess reading comprehension isn't your thing. I have no clue what the reason could be since they won't give one.

Fortunately 2+2 deleted the spam post from OP in the SWC thread where he also tried the shameless recruiting as well. Still no clue what may have been the reason for the other incident?

Huh? I created a new thread talking about a new Litecoin poker site. Get your facts straight. I didn't know talking about new poker sites wasn't allowed.

Even if that were the reason, it wouldn't warrant them taking my money and providing no explanation. This should be concerning to players who are on that site or considering it.

You didn't mention that you were the one in the wrong and are trying to blackmail swc with your posts. You do deserve a response no matter how wrong you are (which they very well may have sent already) but I also believe your account was rightfully closed. Your balance, if you had one, should be allowed to cashout as long as your only violation was spamming and not anything else more sinister. I'll personally trust SWC's decision on that, as you have already shown to be deceitful.

It's the same situation as always, new 2p2 account, making claims site x screwed him.....always ends in OP being a scumbag.

People are always quick to judge. The fact remains, my account has been locked and funds taken with no explanation. I truly don't know why.

I was talking to a player about a site I plan to start. Not sure that's illegal on SWC, considering it's a super free speech environment. (Most players are always calling people the most heinous of names including n***er, with no censorship.)

I simply want a response as to why 2000 dollars was siezed from my account. Is that so wrong?

Well, I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not, but hopefully you can see that posting nasty words might be treated a lot differently than spam. Of course everyone's definition of spam is a little different.

Of course not; I don't think anyone is suggesting it is.

LOL, nit much? I think we all knew what he was talking about, considering he mentioned how many BTCs it was in an earlier post.

Yes, I was just nitting there (meant it as a joke but I really shouldn't have), sorry, it was an unnecessary derail.

Banning/closing account for spam is one thing, but outright stealing 1.8 btc is ridiculous - super scummy if true GL OP
