€252,000 in ETH from KRAKEN gone!
28. März 2026
👉 No authorization — not even Face ID. No warning.
No real support.
And Kraken’s repeatedly recurring, meaningless responses.
A generic, likely AI-generated reply to my 1-star review on Trustpilot.
Despite having all standard security measures in place, a transaction of this size was executed from a Kraken account — without intervention, without escalation, without protection.
But the real failure came after.
In a 24/7 crypto market, where minutes matter, Kraken’s support was effectively unreachable.
No emergency handling.
No escalation.
Just automated, standardized responses.
This is not just poor service — this raises serious regulatory questions.
Under EU frameworks like MiCA, crypto providers are required to have:
• robust security and monitoring systems
• effective incident response mechanisms
• accessible, real-time customer support
So how can a €252,000 transaction happen without enhanced checks?
And how can there be no immediate human response when it does?
The incident has been reported to authorities.
Legal action is underway.
Regulators, including BaFin and the Central Bank of Ireland, have been informed.
And still — no meaningful response.
At this point, it’s no longer just about the loss.
It’s about accountability.
If this can happen once, it can happen again.
This can happen to anyone trading crypto — especially on the Kraken platform.
How is it possible that German and EU regulatory authorities are failing to ensure that a 24/7 emergency support system is actually in place and properly verified?

My posts are being suppressed – I can no longer tag anyone, I can't promote, and my reach has been systematically blocked. Why? Because I am speaking out about uncomfortable truths regarding the security of crypto platforms. Let's talk about free speech. Before acquiring Twitter, Elon Musk positioned himself as a "Free Speech Absolutist" – someone advocating for minimal restrictions on expression. His definition: anything legal should be permitted, and content moderation should be based solely on laws, not political or moral preferences. Following his acquisition in 2022, he promised reduced content moderation, more open debate for controversial views, reinstatement of suspended accounts, and the implementation of Community Notes as an alternative to centralized fact-checking. His stated goal was to transform the platform into a "digital town square." Meanwhile, during the Donald Trump 2024/25 campaign, we witnessed a significant shift in crypto policy. The stated ambition is to make the USA the "crypto capital of the world." Crypto donations were accepted, and the administration positioned itself as pro-innovation and anti-regulation. Since 2025, a strategic Bitcoin reserve has been promoted with the goal of establishing Bitcoin as a national asset comparable to gold. Now, when someone like me highlights serious security failures – in my case, calling out the platform Kraken as demonstrably unsafe – it becomes inconvenient. My specific experience: 252,000 euros were withdrawn from our Kraken account without authorization. The funds remained visible in other Kraken wallets for days, yet no one at Kraken was reachable. This is not a minor issue. When oversight is absent, money can be moved arbitrarily, creating a dangerous environment vulnerable to money laundering. New financial systems must be held to the highest standards. They require the same level of rigorous oversight, security, and accountability as traditional banking institutions. True commitment to free speech means tolerating criticism – including criticism of crypto platforms – without resorting to shadowbanning or silent suppression. Otherwise, the promises of openness and transparency were nothing more than marketing. #FreeSpeech #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #Kraken #Crypto #Bitcoin #CryptoRegulation #FinancialSecurity #ShadowBanning #DigitalTownSquare #BitcoinReserve #MoneyLaundering #Accountability #TechPolicy #CryptoSafety

Documented cases raise serious compliance concerns: 🇳🇱 Operating without AML registration → “a large number of unusual transactions may have gone unnoticed” 🇦🇺 Court found a “seriously deficient compliance system” → $5M+ customer losses 🇺🇸 Sanctions breaches involving users in Iran → failure to monitor ongoing transactions These failures highlight risks that financial systems may be misused for sanctioned jurisdictions, including potential flows linked to Iran. This raises fundamental questions about real-time transaction monitoring, AML controls, and regulatory oversight in the EU. Strong supervision is essential to protect the integrity of the financial system. #AML #CryptoRegulation #BaFin #MiCA #FinancialCrime #Compliance #Crypto #FinTech #RiskManagement #Germany #EU #EBA #ESMA #Regulation #AntiMoneyLaundering #Sanctions #Iran #CryptoExchange #InvestorProtection #FinancialStability #Blockchain #CryptoRisk #Governance #Transparency #Law #Finance #DigitalAssets

Past regulatory actions have raised concerns — including sanctions violations due to insufficient transaction monitoring and enforcement cases where services were provided without proper AML registration, creating risks that suspicious transactions may have gone undetected. These cases highlight the importance of robust, continuous monitoring of financial flows, not just onboarding checks. In an increasingly complex global financial system, strong oversight is essential to prevent misuse by international criminal networks. #AML #CryptoRegulation #FinancialCrime #Compliance #MiCA #Ireland #Crypto #Banking #RiskManagement #FinTech

A total of €252,000 in ETH was stolen from our Kraken account. We were in contact with the individuals mentioned above — without our phone being compromised or any emails being sent. Has anyone had similar experiences?

I am a victim of cybercrime involving Kraken. €252,000 in ETH was taken from my account. No 2FA. No authorization. No meaningful support. Days later, the funds were still traceable within Kraken-linked wallets — and no one froze the transactions. This is not just a personal loss. This is a system failure of one of the oldest and allegedly most reputable crypto platforms. So I turned to Reddit — the one place where users can speak openly in communities like r/Kraken, r/CryptoCurrency, r/cybersecurity, and r/KrakenSupport. My post? Blocked. Instead, those forums are filled with “how to get rich with crypto” posts — but real stories about risk, loss, and security failures? Silenced. Is this the transparency we want in crypto? Is this the future? #Kraken #CryptoScam #Cybercrime #CryptoSecurity #Reddit #Transparency #ConsumerProtection

I am reaching out to the FOX5 Vegas news team regarding your recent reporting on Mekail Sajan (March 9, 2026), the cybersecurity expert who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars from his Kraken account in a sophisticated browser-based hack. I am a Kraken hack victim from Germany. On March 1, 2026, exactly €252,000 in Ethereum was stolen from my Kraken account – executed without 2FA, without authorization, and without any verification of the destination wallet. I reported the theft immediately, but Kraken's emergency support was completely unreachable. I received only automated replies, and the transaction could not be frozen – even though blockchain forensics later confirmed the stolen funds remained traceable in internal Kraken wallets for days afterward. Like Mr. Sajan, I have filed a criminal complaint (Polizei Hamburg), engaged a cybercrime attorney, and submitted formal complaints to both BaFin (Germany) and the Central Bank of Ireland, which holds Kraken's MiCA license. The parallels between our cases are striking, and I believe connecting with other victims could support ongoing investigations. I respectfully ask that FOX5 Vegas connect me to the journalist who covered Mr. Sajan's case, or help put me in touch with him directly. Victims sharing information can strengthen evidence and help prevent others from suffering the same fate. Thank you for your reporting and your consideration. @FOX5Vegas #Kraken #KrakenScam #MekailSajan #FOX5Vegas #Cybercrime #BaFin #MiCA #CryptoTheft #KrakenSupportFail #MiCAViolation #CentralBankOfIreland
