Exposure Regarding HIBT exchange withdrawal failure and account freeze for 18 days
I applied to withdraw a sum of USDT from HIBT exchange to the Binance network on June 28, 2026. The funds have not been credited to my account to date, and there is no final confirmation record on the blockchain. After the withdrawal failed, my account was unilaterally frozen by HIBT on grounds of "risk control,\" preventing any viewing or operation, which has now lasted for 18 days.
During this period, I have repeatedly contacted HIBT online customer service and official email. The customer service only responded with template replies such as \"under review, please wait patiently,\" never providing any specific evidence of violations or processing timeline. On July 4, I sent a formal written reminder email, and on July 7, I received a reply stating:
\"Your account has triggered the risk control verification process and is under comprehensive review. Specific triggering details cannot be disclosed at this time. The review result will be notified via email."
—This reply still did not specify how many business days the review would take, nor did it provide a latest completion date.
It should be noted that the official help page of HIBT clearly states that the risk control review cycle is approximately 1-3 business days, but my account has been frozen far beyond that period. I understand that the platform has risk control and compliance requirements, but the prolonged freeze without a clear timeline has indeed caused me great distress.
All transactions are my legitimate operations, and the source of funds is clean (deposited from Binance, with blockchain proof available for verification). My request: I hope HBT can complete the review as soon as possible, either unfreeze the account and allow withdrawal, or provide a clear processing schedule with specific dates so that users can be informed.
I have preserved all relevant evidence (withdrawal records, blockchain query screenshots, customer communication records, reminder email and reply, Binance deposit proof).
