Coinbase closed my account, should I be worried?

[Noob warning here]

So I use(d) Coinbase in order to buy bitcoin and then send it to a secure wallet I used to make transactions elsewhere.

Yesterday I got an email from Coinbase saying that they had to close my account due to prohibited use (you can guess what for), including that they do so in conjunction with FinCEN - the financial crimes enforcement network agency.

So, should I be worried about further trouble, or was this just a precaution on Coinbases part to avoid compliance issues with the government?

How can I avoid this in the future?

Thanks!

Nope. Received the same email a while back. Use another crypto and be smart.

Probably was just able to realize where you were sending it to an extent. Think about how many other dumb idiots are doing the same thing.

Fuck. I hope they don't close my account.
