Got burned by an offshore crypto exchange? Wondering what your options are when things go sideways with a foreign platform? Honestly, dealing with international disputes is a nightmare—jurisdictional mess, legal costs piling up, and half the time you're just shouting into the void.

So what's the play here? Can you actually recover anything, or is it just an expensive lesson? And more importantly—how do you protect yourself next time? Stick to regulated exchanges? Keep funds in cold storage? Would love to hear if anyone's been through this and came out the other side.
