Honestly robosats is great, you can sell btc 1-3% above spot price and help someone get no-kyc sats it's a win-win all round
...and eventually get your fiat account frozen. (talking from experience)

My Revolut account got frozen, after receiving 5 fiat payments within 24 hours by selling sats for a premium on Robosats and buying them back on Revolut X at the actual market price.
Now I can no longer receive anything into that account.
If I try sending fiat to a friend, my transfer gets declined immediately.
If I try to withdraw my sats, I get the following error message:
Sending crypto is temporarily blocked
You cannot send crypto to wallets or Revolut friends.
This may change in the future.
Basically, the account is completely frozen.
I contacted support, but only got AI bot replies saying my account is restricted and under review. When I asked about when I can expect to regain access, the bot said that an update might be available in 17 days. That was a week ago and I am still waiting...
Funny how Revolut encourages users to trade all kinds of shitcoins, but when it comes to complying with KYC regulations, they become extremely cautious.
In the past I did successfully withdraw sats from Revolut and it was an awful experience. Only on-chain supported, and I had to pick from a list which wallet software/hardware I was using. Even then, my withdrawal was flagged as "suspicious" and I had to answer a mountain of questions just to prove I wasn’t being scammed. After that they still gave me a 3 hour time-frame to let me cancel the withdrawal. 🤡

Chances are that one of those Fiat payments was from an account that was hacked, and so your account has officially received funds that are associated with some sort of fraud.

Wow.
Thanks for the details.
