Update: my BTC withdrawal was released on Aug 31 - in full, after 15 days. @krakenfx never gave a reason, never requested a single document, and still hasn't explained what triggered the hold. I've now formally asked for an explanation. Full case: https://t.co/pbN5iWMLNW

Next steps are formal: complaint to the Financial Services & Pensions Ombudsman in Ireland (Kraken named this route itself) + notification to the Central Bank of Ireland, its MiCA supervisor. Every step will be documented here. Day 10. @krakenfx@KrakenSupport

A complaint "thoroughly and fairly investigated" in 3 minutes, with the ticket number placeholder still unfilled in the template ("your original support ticket [#]"). That is not a review. That is an autoresponder wearing a compliance badge.
@krakensupport Update:
Today ist day 10 - my account and withdrawal are still on hold - they have gone totally silent - no answering of support emails or DMs on this platform by @krakensupport
@krakensupport
My BTC withdrawal is on hold for review for more than 5 business days now - no further information from them.
I was promised that my ticket would be โbumped up the queueโ but nothing has happened.
Unacceptable behavior and lack of service and communication!
@krakensupport Update: @Krakensupport is withoulding my btc withrawel for the 8th (!) day now - no comment, no further information from their side and support has gone totally silent - Absolut unacceptable customer treatment
@Phenomaly@Scam_tackle@jespow The exact same thing happened to me last sunday - withdrawal on hold for 5 days now already - no info, no support - nothing
