Compromised my anonymity while buying monero and fear i might have raised a red flag, how to proceed?

[FreeTJ]

While trying to buy Monero from kraken while remaining anonymous by using fake ID+Fake Utility bill to register somewhere else for some stupid fucking reason i forgot to change the location of my VPN.
Me trying to do this raised some red flags and theyre support team has reached out to me to "clarify discrepancies during the registration" but it feels like im being investigated.
The question now is do i talk myself out of or just close shop and leave? Are they going to inform law enforcment?
Should I (EU) request a total deletion of my file and all my documents to kraken or is that going to raise even more suspicion?
Any help regarding on how i should proceed would be greatly appreciated.

1. You said, "I forgot to change the location of my VPN." Does this mean your VPN was enabled and set to the incorrect region? Or was your VPN disabled altogether?
2. I received emails from CoinSpot/Coinbase a few times, back when I was still using them often, and they too wanted to clarify discrepancies or similar before they would unlock my account and continue processing my request. It isn't a guaranteed red alert but the forged documentation and ID complicates your situation.
3. Do not try and talk yourself out of anything when you don't know what it is of which you're being accused. Without knowing the context of your activities it's hard to say whether they would or wouldn't be required to notify law enforcement.
4. It would be suspicious to immediately request account cancellation right now, yes. Even if you did it wouldn't matter. Financial institutions are legally required to preserve certain user activity logs for 7 years, I believe. It ranges from country to country. But even just the information provided on registration with these services is retained for a mandatory period, even if you immediately delete the account before verifying your identitiy.

This happened to me with some random CEX. I only registered my basic details before dropping the whole thing and then a little later on they experienced a breach, so I contacted them requesting all details they had available under my name be deleted, and was given the whole "obligations as a financial institution" copy/paste shit and my ticket was closed.

Yes, my VPN (mullvad) was enabled but i stupidly didnt change its location, it was however connected to a neighboring country of mine in the EU. I assume the best move now is just to wait it out. I am unsure if it is more suspicous to leave the support staff on "read" and not answering their email all together or if it would be wiser to explain them all this happend because of a VPN issue and hope for the best.

You don't need to panic, just tell them you were using a VPN and that caused the discrepancy(different IP than your real location).
also when you buy monero from a CEX, Kraken in this case, you don't need to be worried. because as soon as you move moneroj out of kraken and to your own secure wallet inside Tails, Whonix, Qubes, etc the trace of the transaction is obfuscated. no body can see where you sent the moneroj and what you are gonna do with them afterwards.
Don't Panic!

I don't understand why he bought monero from kraken to begin with??? and what's with the vpn... just sign up for kraken like a regular person using your real information what the fuck is he thinking.
how hard is it to buy ltc from kraken > withdraw to the electrum-ltc wallet on tails/whonix > exchange ltc for monero using exch and then you might even in the clear to order a soviet nuclear submarine using monero.
like why did you buy monero directly , this is making me so frustrated.... you're so nonchalant from the get go because that's only way you can fuck it up because buying monero directly looks suspicious and yet now your fear is coming out of nowhere..
using a DCEX to get monero is a good option too.

Okay perfect thank you. The actual plan was to use bisq on tails but i couldnt figure out how to run it properly. That led to me being lazy, sloppy and using a shortcut, and oh well here i am.

You should be fine. Next time use a Socks5 Residential proxy with a low "fraud score" that is located near the fake ID's location.
Make sure the fake ID is a real person with their real information too since they probably check public records or LexisNexis to see if you are real.

You're going to end up with your money frozen, VPN or not. Kraken has good security.
