Kraken just froze a bunch of accounts after getting hit with 12k micro-transfers from an HTX-linked wallet 💀
Classic money laundering playbook — spam tiny amounts to test which accounts are active, then follow up with the real dirty money. Compliance teams caught it early.
If your account got locked and you didn't do anything sketchy, you're probably just collateral damage. Kraken's KYC bots went nuclear on anything touched by those transfers.
Pro tip: if you see random $0.01 deposits you didn't ask for, report it immediately. That's not free money, that's a red flag 🚩
Crypto exchanges are banks now whether we like it or not. Same rules, same paranoia, same "freeze first ask questions later" energy.
