Popular Bitcoin platform Alby is facing accusations of seizing funds from inactive user wallets. Community feedback alleges that Alby reset balances in shared wallets belonging to legacy accounts that were dormant for 12 months, without explicit user consent. This practice is reportedly outlined in Alby’s terms of service, stating that if these old accounts haven’t been used for a year, remaining funds may be removed by the platform for “account management.” However, community members argue this policy was not adequately communicated to users beforehand. The controversial measure only affects inactive legacy accounts, leaving active accounts, Alby Hubs, fee credits, and other connected wallets unaffected. Alby is a browser extension used for sending and receiving Bitcoin payments on the Bitcoin Lightning Network through regular web browsers. This information is not financial advice.
