Blocked bank account after cashing out crypto in Germany or other country?

[zerosugar]

Sell your crypto currency for Euro and then you have a proof⁠ of the sale. After your meeting with the banker you sent your Euro balance from⁤ the exchange to your bank account.

Doesn't Kraken even have a german bank account?

 

[Verbatim]

Yes with Fidor but for Euros. But what if you want to send USD?⁤

 

[zerosugar]

Then you do the same selling for USD. I guess Bank Frick is your best‌ choice.

Be careful with Fidor Bank - they have awful customer service and there core business‌ is to serve German Residence without any SCHUFA checks - so exactly the opposite client‍ then the average joe Crypto holder nowadays with 6 and 7 figure amounts here.

What you gusy were talking about is the "AWV-Meldepflich der Bundesbank":

Keep in mind that⁠ you can easily face starting from 7 figure amounts criminal investigations from german justice authorities⁤ - Germany is one of the countries that is going much further and is digging⁣ much deeper then looking if you just paid taxes on your money.
