I just got this email message from coinbase and was hoping someone could give me insight on how to answer.

Remembering they can see the path of funds and have probably detected a transfer to a wallet they have connected to a book, you need to keep it plausible. Like I try to use bitcoin wherever I can to support it. I buy and sell baseball cards (no receipts/invoices) and get paid with it for social media marketing (impossible to know who/what did what marketing) and if you ever send it to a trading exchange, mention that you try to trade it as well. Or something along those lines.

And dont worry, they will just close your account and let you cash out if they dont like the answer. See answer below for where to go then.

Gemini.com and ItBit.com are the two other Coinbase like exchange services with ACH transfers for US users. Pretty sure both are approved in NY.

Is that what you are looking for?

itbit way to go, i was informed on this forum. Coinbase is a useless headache, get out while you can, pull your funds, tell them to close your account.
