Since OP was “reporting a wrongdoing to someone influential while intending to appear completely innocent” aka crying about a seed bank stealing his bitcoin on a publicly searchable forum while leaving out any ways he tried to resolve the situation thus making it appear the seed bank was wholly at fault and deliberately ignoring his issue, yeah I pretty much used the phrase properly. That said, I’m not sure how either your personal attack on my use of phrasing or my explanation of the same are pertinent to the discussion.
BUT….it seems OP was able to get things resolved after he could provide the blockchain transaction ID. Guess the seed source wasn’t trying to steal his bitcoin after all…they just might not be any more knowledgeable at using bitcoin than the OP. It definitely seems like they could have done the same validation if provided the OP’s wallet number if they were more skilled at bitcoin transaction tracing.
