Binance user says Colorado court order froze 400,000 USDT

Shawn said about 340,000 USDT of the balance came from futures trading and that he had provided documents explaining the source of his funds. In a translated complaint quoted in the post, he said the exchange had frozen his entire account, including his original capital and trading profits. The account balance and profits have not been independently verified.

According to ye.koi’s account, Binance customer support said it could not lift the restriction and directed Shawn to contact the Colorado court about the order and any available procedures. Shawn said he lives in Asia and could not find a way on the court’s website for an ordinary account holder to submit documents or challenge the restriction. The exchange reportedly advised him to contact the court or consult a lawyer.

The public post does not identify the transactions that prompted the restriction or include the court order, so its legal basis and scope are unclear. Binance’s law enforcement guidance says authorities must provide relevant legal documentation and identify the basis for requests. Its legal request portal says the exchange reviews third-party court orders under applicable laws and may challenge their jurisdiction or scope.

Ye.koi asked Binance representatives, including co-founder Yi He, to examine the complaint. The available information does not establish whether the reported order relates to a civil proceeding, a criminal investigation or another type of court action.
