> **Visual Note:** The image shows a Chinese messaging app conversation in a group called "华语 KOL 科学吃瓜基地 (490)," featuring users like "joy_ZY" and "Tina-" discussing sending a lawyer's letter and exposing IP addresses of users who spread rumors, with Tina mentioning deleting defamatory posts and pursuing legal action via an "lg group" lawyer.

This relates to the post about Tina (described as a former marketing head of OKX and Bybit) threatening to send a lawyer's letter over a dispute regarding BitMart exchange.

> "I wasn't planning to deal with Bitmart at first, it had been way too long.

But then OKX's former head of marketing and Bybit's former head of marketing Tina said she was gonna send me a lawyer's letter.

Fine, let's have a proper online spat, I'm waiting for your lawyer's"

> "Bybit account frozen for 7+ weeks without any explanation

My account (UID: 113623867) has been frozen since June 25, 2026. That's over 7 weeks now. Timeline: June 25 — account frozen, Compliance Ticket opened (Appeal ID: W202606256C7CC0FB0DFB069460453A), promised a response "within 48 hours." Never updated since. Multiple support tickets — only templated replies: "under review by our Compliance team," "no additional documents required," "unable to provide a timeline." Posted publicly on X and Trustpilot — got the same templated response there too. Filed a formal complaint with AFSA (Astana Financial Services Authority), since Bybit Limited is licensed under AIFC (Kazakhstan). AFSA responded that my account isn't actually held under that entity — it's under Bybit's global structure, which AFSA has no jurisdiction over. They forwarded my complaint to "Bybit Global," which appears to be a courtesy referral with no actual authority behind it. Sent multiple direct emails to asking for: (1) the reason for the review, (2) whether any documents are needed, (3) a timeline, (4) which legal entity actually holds my account. Silence on all of it."

▰ Bybit Galaxy's second round points threshold is 400 points, basically matching the previous prediction. Claiming opens on 8/19, so if you're just a bit short, you can make up the points in the next couple of days. Not sure"

66u空投在tg群参加的活动，今天到账以后去领取却发现领取不了 问了客服说是风控问题

我的账号注册认证有几个月了 偶尔有交易，参加平台别的活动并没有发现有风控的问题 领奖励就有问题

别的平台发奖励什么的从来没听说还要领取，并且还能失败"
