Similar to Mikael and Ryan below, we were told the same thing, need $5k to pay for the tax forms for the transfer, and went ahead and paid it, was then told we had to transfer $125k to the same wallet to pay for "capital gains" taxes that the IRS requires to be collected. To date still have not received funds and legally am not responsible for capital gains, the loan originator is, and the whole thing has sat in limbo for 2 months. No amount of communication with the originator or blockas has gotten funding released, and company was scammed for $5k as blockas refused to provide copies of the tax forms that had been paid for. Complete scam.

Hello Joshua, we apologize for your experience, we are a licensed crypto currency company. There are policies we must follow to ensure we keep our license. One of these policy involves us reporting the transaction at the point of withdrawal and obtaining a clearance certificate, if there is a tax liability either long term or Short term we are required to remit the payment to obtain the clearance certificate. We are working on systems to make this process more seamless in the future.
