A merchant with 9 figures bank deposits in the UAE have reached out to me revealing he has been unable to transfer money out of his accounts for several days. The bank is claiming that the withdrawals were unsuccessful due to a technical error. Nonetheless, the bank still seem to be processing incoming transfers. He is now anxious he won't be able to repatriate his hard earned money to his home country. I have offered some advice and insights on how he can proceed. However, I did mention that he should have listened to me from the beginning when there was still a window to take the money out easily but regrets are not helpful at this point. Please avoid our friend problem and find immediate ways to leave the UAE. Btw, he also has a home there and said it lost 1/3 of value thus far.
