I only ever made 1 purchase using that Coinbase account, which was to Nootropics Depot.
It was sometime last week. Purchase was fulfilled - although I got the above email earlier today.

Yeah, from now on I want to start using non-US companies to handle my Bitcoin accounts so I don't have to deal with this bullshit anymore, but I do wonder if this will make it harder to purchase coins.

I've had to form non-US companies to keep dealing with Bitcoin. It's crazy. I grew up thinking I was free because I am a US citizen, when in fact that just makes me more of a slave to our monetary system. Sure, I can go buy guns and do a lot of other shit. However, the US dollar is who owns me, apparently...
