So I was stupid and I trusted someone. I sold them Bitcoin on localbitcoins, and they sent me stolen money via an email money transfer from a hacked bank account because bank's suck with security because rather than try to teach grandma how to use two factor authentication, they let you set up your online banking with a password like...fucking PASSWORD or something. AUGH! I even asked for ID and dude sent me a picture of him holding a passport.
*sigh*
Anyhow, bank is investigating and I'm locked out of Canada's email money transfer system indefinitely while investigation goes on. Sent police chat logs, pictures I was sent, gave them transfer transaction numbers etc etc. No response, but no email bounceback.
Bank tells me that their investigation will take up to 6 months. It was hell just getting them to unlock my account so I could pay bills...one of which bounced because it was set up for auto withdrawal the same day my account was locked. No notification of that by the way. No phone call or whatever. Nope. Just had to "discover" that little treat on my own.
So now, bank genuinely doesn't know if I'm a fraudster who was in on the stolen money thing, and the investigation for some reason will take forever. Police likely have resources to assign a detective to my case within the year or something. Not trying to get on their case, but they're basically useless.
From where I stand, the facts are all collected. I have pictures, chat logs, and localbitcoins had records that law enforcement can query. This should all be put together to paint a picture of what's happened somehow, but from what I can see, nothing's moving so I don't know if that effort is even taking place.
I'm not even primarily concerned with the $1,700 right now. I really just wanna be put back into a place where I'm not suspected of stealing something. That feels especially wrong considering I was stolen from.
What do I do?

Nope. There's more than enough money in my account to cover the stolen funds, so the bank has just locked that amount up. Earlier though, they had everything locked up completely and it took me several hours on the phone getting bounced back n' forth to get to that point. It was infuriating.

Didn't really consider it over just $1,700. I suppose I could but that doesn't seem worth it if there's any other way I can get the police/bank's wheels spinning faster.

Unless you know someone or hire a lawyer that does i dont see a way the police can expedite their investigation. If you have access to ur accnt and are only locked out of email money transfers then whats the issue anyway

I'm pretty sure this has further implications beyond your $1,700. Like trying to get a bank to grant you a morgage. It would be in your best interest to not be labelled a fraudster
