I hope you're making this up. My spidery sense tells me that a random company cannot verify the IP I access zoom from. (Unless kraken was zoom itself presumably)


Kraken is a cryptocurrency exchange so it's plausible that someone's years-inactive account actually is worth a small fortune (to the customer, and to any hacker).


More importantly it's worth a small fortune to kraken if not claimed by the customer.

Their financial incentives aren't aligned with customers.


Ahh, escheat, a word I just learned on here yesterday. haha


Ok but how can they check that you "login to zoom from the same IP"?


And that's my concern. I can't remember if there's a fractional bitcoin sitting around in a kraken wallet. Even if it's 1/10th of a bitcoin, that's enough to spend a little time trying to get it back.


Hah. Why would I bother spinning some fantasy about Kraken's terrible support? Sadly, it's all true.
