If he was really only reselling then that wouldnât be fair as itâs pretty common for someone to have âplugâ employee, I donât think he was informed about how the access to that panel was obtained.

Also, this:
CoinBase, just like any other payment processor, blocked that address from accepting payments. Was this warranted in this case? Yes. But it just dawned on me that I shouldnât use public wallets because it defeats the purpose of BTC, as someone else has control over your funds. Not like.
