Dear Crypto.com as you won't respond to messages in your app - any chance you can close my account and give me my money as I asked? It's been a week and no one's even read the request. Viewed uncharitably. this behaviour seems ... shady.

So, this turned out to be bollocks. Still waiting for my money Crypto.com Customer Support: 25 days and counting...

Rob Gillham Hello Rob! Our team will gladly look into any pending enquiries you may have and assist you further. We can see that you have contacted us via DM at Crypto.com Customer Support and will get back to you there as quickly as possible. Thank you!

I sent you that msg last Thu Crypto.com Crypto.com Customer Support which was about a request that was made almost a month ago. Are you ever going to reply to anything that isn't a public tweet? Or perhaps even give me my money? A month is already 29 days 23h 59.9s too long.

6 weeks after I asked to withdraw my balance of £40, and after many contradictory promises, @Cryptocom and their customer service clowns have finally decided that actually, they just don't give people back their money. Guess it's the app that lying then, eh Crypto.comcs?

My grandmother typed the manuscript of Nineteen Eighty-Four while looking after Orwell's London flat when he was on Jura. She was convinced Orwell named the book's heroine after my mother, her daughter Julia.

More evidence of the insidious rebranding of human-produced art as 'content'—valueless, throwaway crap, its only perceived value to feed a machine that can spew forth fecal content offerings more efficiently than you.
