Am i in imminent danger?

I accidentally sent 50 bucks to a DNM from directly from circle instead of first sending the coins to blockchain then agora. I chatted with a representative and made it clear that it was an accident that i sent money to that address and that i wanted to cancel the transaction. I acted really upset and i have a good relationship with circle as i have chatted with many representatives and my deposit limit is relatively high.

The transaction is still pending and i generated a new address for the DNM wallet but there's no way i can see how many conformations the transaction has. Is there a chance it wont get to the DNM at all?

thanks guys

EDIT: I was using a VPN throughout all of this

UPDATE: Received a package today with no problems

I sent coins from circle directly to evo on a couple occasions - no one has ever questioned it, my account is still in good standing. Not sure how hard circle.com looks into it. If you preemptively contacted support about this you basically snitched on yourself. What the fuck would you do if one of your orders drew some heat? You might want to ask yourself if you are cut out for this game.

LOL. That's a ridiculous excuse, bitcoin wallets have multiple check digits which makes mistyping a wallet address (one or two wrong keystrokes) nearly impossible. Let alone a "random" wallet address that just happens to belong to a dark market.

I'm happy the money showed up, but you probably shouldn't have said anything to Circle unless they brought it up first.

Lol I can only imagine what the support person thought when they saw the dest wallet was a darknet market. Probably like "...holy shit this dude is tweaking hard on meth."

Its a miracle your account wasn't frozen yet.

Thats like saying you were using a VPN when you went out and robbed a bank

You weren't in any danger until you contacted them and made obvious lies that nobody would ever believe. Are you 13?

You're fucked now. They called the CIA 10 minutes ago.

Burn your house down and move to belize.

Dumbass question inbound: Is Circle better than Coinbase? I'm fucking sick of waiting 4-6 days everytime I need coins. Can you do the instant shit on Circle without a credit card?

The feds and a swat team are approaching as we speak,. Take all nesesery action immediately.

Never volunteer information.

Complicated situation. We pretty much know that Coinbase is fucking people over who sent money to/from DNMs. Circle is younger and they may not be under the same scrutiny. However, rest assured LE will force them at some point - if they haven't already - to submit security audits on everyone who has suspicious addresses in their account.

Maybe your transaction will be canceled and all records expunged, maybe not. Maybe $50 is not enough to trigger a security alert, maybe it is. We don't know the answers to these questions, therefore if I were you I would err on the side of caution and close my account. The reason being that to protect your privacy they are obliged to delete your past information after a certain number of weeks/months if you are no longer using the service.

Of course, then you are still left with the problem of purchasing BTC and the only other major alternative is Coinbase which are known to be LE-sluts. Nevertheless, I would still go with Coinbase (or localbtc) for a while since your risk is pretty much equal on both services, as long as you keep tumbling (or whatever your method is.) In 3-6 months you can consider opening a new account on Circle with a new card backing it. It's much less likely that they will correlate the new account with the old, because they really have no reason to. I don't know exactly what Circle does internally, but usually the way website databases are organized - they have one file per account, with one history, and a security audit will usually just try to find a suspicious "file" rather than looking for suspicious "humans" across the entire database.

TL;DR not all factors are known but the safe thing to do IMO is to close your account, move to another BTC service, come back in 4-6 months if you want.

I got 3 things in transit right now and none of them are anything that would even be enough to put me in jail. I'll update if those items come through no problem.
