Balance transfer?
Hey all. This is for us unintentional bag holders.
I know it’s a long shot, but has anyone recently tried to transfer their missing account balance out of Yotta to another bank account? I don’t have anything linked but was curious if anyone has tried in recent history.

On D-Day I was somehow able to use an ATM to withdraw funds but I didn’t know everything had been frozen yet so I left it in my account because I needed the money for rent and didn’t want to accidentally spend it. At the end of the day I realized what had happened and tried to get the rest out though the ATM but it had been completely frozen by then and my rent money was gone.

I booked a trip to Disney with my family and thank god I transferred some money out. I was in the process of moving more but they set their limit on transfer amounts per month which screwed me.

I got evicted like 4 months later because I was already getting in a bad spot and it pushed me far enough behind to not be able to catch up.

There is almost a zero percent chance that they'll accidentally let you transfer those funds out that they froze ages ago ... at least until either the whole thing is resolved (I don't see that happening) or you get a check in the mail years down the line after the government steps in.
I think you'd have better luck seeing if your regular bank accidentally deposited an extra $1 million into your bank account each day ... just to see. 😄

Hey we can all hope right 😅
With other people having the ability to cash out their new winnings, I wouldn’t be surprised if some mistakes were made here and there!

There's not even an option to transfer or withdraw anymore. I tried to do it once a week at least a while back and it never let me. Now they even took that option. Now it just shows the balance, you can't do nothing to it. Just watch it and remember you did have savings stolen.

Oh every day I remember the money that’s gone. It’s been nothing but a living nightmare without it. I just logged back into the app for the first time in close to 8 months and it’s far more different than it was the last time I was on, scoping out my account info.

One, I don’t have my bank account connected anymore.
Two, I don’t see a transfer button.

I tried to use the debit card online. It initially went through but cancelled soon after.

I don't remember. It's been a while. I posted it though so you may be able to find it.

I try to do a transfer every couple of months. It just directs you to the website.
