High Value Bep-2 to Bep-20 BNB Migration Failure. Please Escalate. Requesting Recovery! #3495

@Ethereum2

Description

@Ethereum2

I have ~5,000+ BNB stuck on BNB Beacon Chain at:

bnb17myfc5zz2d52kg2lefjfztrm3dty6jv8wk4gsc

I own the original seed and can derive the raw private key (Ledger legacy BEP2 path ≈ m/44'/714'/account/index/change). The official Token Recovery flow (https://www.bnbchain.org/en/token-recovery) and supported wallets, however, do not allow custom derivation paths or direct Beacon private-key import, so my actual address is never detected and I cannot start recovery.

I first attempted migration in 2022 and have pre‑sunset email records showing ongoing attempts. The blocker is purely a tooling limitation, not key ownership.

I am requesting:
– Internal review of this edge case, and
– Any supported option (temporary private-key import, updated recovery tool, or as a last resort, manual recovery) that would let me use my existing key to complete recovery and get my funds back.
