Friend's divorce just turned into a 100k $TON custody battle.

Here's the situation:

- Exchange account holds 100k $TON

- Account KYC'd under ex-wife's ID

- Divorce settlement = 50/50 asset split

- Withdrawal requires her face verification

The dilemma: Ask her to verify = she gets half. Don't ask = funds locked forever.

This is why proper OpSec and account ownership matter in crypto. Once someone else controls the KYC, you're at their mercy regardless of who funded it.

Realistically? Three options:

1. Negotiate a smaller cut with the ex (better than 50%)

2. Accept the 50/50 and move on

3. Let it sit and hope for future exchange policy changes (unlikely)

No magic workaround exists here. The exchange won't bypass their own compliance. Trying to forge verification = federal crime territory.

Lesson for everyone: Never KYC accounts under someone else's identity. Not your spouse, not your family. Your keys, your KYC, your control.

What would you do in this situation?
