I have $700 in yotta that's frozen. I would still like all of it back.

Thank you Adam for covering this situation. It's a complicated story and I think you did a great job of explaining it! I am a Yotta user and have about $12K with them. I have been following the events through the bankruptcy court proceedings and the Reddit threads. Of course, I want my money back, but some of the stories I've heard give me perspective. I mean, there are some that have their life savings with Yotta. Some are unable to pay rent, mortgage, put food on the table, etc. I certainly hope they can unravel all this and in a way that doesn't drag on for years.
I used to use Yotta but I withdrew all of my money from my Yotta account before issues arose because: 1) With 3 companies involved (Yotta, Synapse, & Evolve) I was worried that if an issue arose, then all 3 companies might point the finger at each other instead of resolving the issue. 2) This alternative banking model has 3 possible failure points (Yotta, Synapse, or Evolve) vs just 1 failure point (the bank itself like most traditional banks). And the process of getting your money back if Synapse or Yotta failed was not as clear as getting your money back if a traditional FDIC insured bank failed. 3) Yotta went from encouraging their customers to save their money to encouraging their customers to gamble their money and they got involved with cryptocurrencies.

Unless your in a state that has a law that overrides any class action wavers your out of luck. Sorry about the caps, just copying the agreement "THESE TERMS OF USE INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT WHICH REQUIRES THAT ANY PAST, PENDING, OR FUTURE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY AND FOR YOUR LOSSES ONLY. YOU MAY NOT PROCEED AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, MEMBER OR PART OF ANY PROPOSED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, MASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL SUIT OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR OTHERWISE SEEK TO RECOVER ON BEHALF OF OTHERS OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS IN ANY TYPE OF CLAIM OR ACTION. ARBITRATION MEANS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEEK DAMAGES IN COURT OR PRESENT YOUR CASE TO A JURY."
It also does not help that many KZreadrs (including finance channels) endorsed this fintech. I will never trust a fintech with any financial service. Banks are the way to go for storing money.
Glad I took out all my money on March 18. Not sure why just didn’t want it there anymore
I'm a Yotta customer - but going forward I'll only bank with the institutions that are too big to fail. Is it good for competition and innovation? No - but clearly the government doesn't have our backs (unless, of course, you're a millionaire banking with SVB).

SVB is a bank. Yotta is a fintech. The moral is beware of Fintech's pretending to be banks or promising bank security, b/c they are not and you won't get your money quickly as if it were.
This is why you should avoid fintechs at all costs.
Nada yada is a cellphone commercial on Tubi.
Avoid middle man & third party at all costs. Deal with the bank services directly. No fintech for me
I’m done with them months ago.
Took most of my money out long time ago, only $11.03 left.

Same. Only have like $4 I think in there. At my peak was around 3,700 which I’m happy I took out a long while ago .
what a nightmare!
I am so happy I withdrew 95% of my funds back when I almost got laid off to pay my car off and now I have about $250 in there locked so it’s no big deal but I would like my money back at some point
I put in $1 because I received $14 for making "any deposit." I checked right now and at one point I won $0.45. So I had $1.45 . Now my balance is $0 because there were 3 "low amount fees" of 50 cents, 50 cents, then 45 cents. Now it's a casino?! What a joke.
I wish I understood why the records from Yotta are not being acknowledged. The other banks not having the money is fraud

They are. It's just that yotta doesn't know which banks hold the money. Only synapse does
Back when Yotta was offering bonds and then lost that ability, I recovered my bonds from the government website and found that they were worth significantly less than what yotta said they were worth. The interest % was different. I knew then that something was fishy.
You Yotta stay away from this overnight banks and flaky institutions !!!! 😉🤔
Thank God I didn’t pull the trigger on this card when everyone was going bananas 🍌
It was a computer glitch. Just like in Money Monster.
imma go bankrupt too 😂
I don’t understand. If the money is insured by the FDIC then the FDIC should take over the bank as the would with any bank insolvency and then collect the monies later, if possible from the other parties involved.
@ProudMoney
Ай бұрын
Well, the bank has money, they just aren't in agreement with the other company on the amounts they should have to cover the accounts. It's an accounting disagreement that I guess the FDIC does not really get in the middle of.

The bank is solvent. The bank has the money. The fintech is insolvent. The fintech has different numbers. The bank could return what is on it's ledger and let the customers dispute the difference with the fintech.

I contacted Yotta this week and they confirmed that our money is being held at an FDIC insured bank. Some people have already had luck accessing their funds. Hopefully the rest of us will too soon🤞
In most areas / states in American good luck with a lawsuit and suing them. Unless your in an area that has a law that overrides any arbitration and class action wavers your out of luck. Sorry about the caps, just copying the agreement "THESE TERMS OF USE INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT WHICH REQUIRES THAT ANY PAST, PENDING, OR FUTURE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY AND FOR YOUR LOSSES ONLY.

I could be wrong about this, but I think it is Evolve Bank and Trust that would have to go bankrupted for us to get all of our money back.

They got scammed and wont see anywhere near their full deposit back. Never trust high yield new startup or online banks

"The money still exists somewhere .." sure it does, it's somewhere in real estate and jewelry in Florida ... And why? Because some people want so badly to squeeze an extra 0.1 % or 0.2 % out of their savings accounts that they take any kind of risk. I am crying dry tears for them.

It was actually 5 percent more than the average not decimals. Which is a lot more than any brick and mortar will ever give you. Was it a gamble sure, but it wasn’t as dumb as actually gambling
