Fexoglobal protocol holding my asset balance hostage under fake anti-money laundering excuses

I'm posting this here because I want to see how many other crypto investors are currently locked out of their wallet balances by Fexoglobal right now.

I was guided into opening an account with them through a trading forum where users were constantly hyping up their decentralized smart contract staking pools as a guaranteed way to secure a passive daily interest return. The web app layout updates seamlessly every hour, which is clearly just a psychological trick to get you comfortable enough to add more funds to your balance.

I top-up my profile until my total balance reached around $2,100 in USDT. The second the staking cycle concluded and I initiated an on-chain transfer to pull my funds back to my personal exchange wallet, the protocol halted the execution queue and generated an automated restriction hold.

They are now emailing me claiming that due to localized anti-money laundering audits, I must wire an upfront 18% clearance fee to release the smart contract pipeline, flat out refusing to deduct it from my active account total. Financial watchdogs just added fexoglobal to their official public warning list for running an unauthorized financial scam. They manipulate the dashboard metrics to keep you happy, but your crypto deposits are completely trapped.
