Binance is now banned in the UK from the 30th I believe.
Too many conmen use it to scam UK citizens.

Untill you dont pay them their fees they will not release your funds, do you wants to lost all your 145k? Or pay whatever they asking and take rest
No one is going to help you on this specially in crypto

I'd happily pay the fees but the thing is I dont think there is any money left there or profit I think there just milking money of me if I thought they was legit and would actually withdraw the money I'd pay if no.problem, I wouldnt wish this situation on my worst enemy

They are milking you for more money to pay the 'release fees' whereas a bona fide platform would deduct them from the withdrawal.
You will never find them, the way folk on here operate is low level compared to how outfits like this work and you know the lengths we will go to to remain untraceable.
Try to find a way to move on. Do not be tempted to employ any services which claim they can help you. Once bitten and all that...
You've made this money before and you can do it again.
Good luck for the future.

Might be a dumb question, but why don't they take the fees out of your money with them and just send you the rest? Sounds like big scam.

So sorry this has happened to you OP, and hope that you can find a way out of this - Have you traded successfully in Crypto before because, if you have, IF the market is still in a bull, then many main Alts & BTC itself could potentially see a nice multiple in the coming months, so you could make that back?
Please don't lose all hope because of this - they are *******s, the scammers, and it's not just you they will do it to - don't let them take your sanity... Come back fighting if you can find the strength, and recover just to spite the scammers.
Wishing you well - but really, I wouldn't give anything else to these folks.

The exact same thing happened to me with this whole SEHK scam. I too was reeled in. It was the small withdrawal that made me think it was real. Luckily I never deposited more than £100. The scammer who I thought was just trying to be my friend who was helping me trade with these “nodes” aka signals her “auntie” was providing her with, she actually started getting so frustrated that I wasn’t adding more money, so much so that she actually sent $30k to my SEHK account, she then told me to do a few trades and we got to $110k, then she asked me to withdraw it and pay her back because she needed the money because it was “her mothers birthday” and she didn’t have any money left and was having trouble borrowing. So I go to withdraw the $110k and I’m hit with a message of customer service telling me I need to pay them $16k in taxes before they can withdraw the money, I was still convinced, but after not being successful in finding the money needed, it hit me, and I did some more googling and finally found this thread. This person had been reeling me in for well over a month, at first it was normal conversation but she kept pressing me to start investing, and when I did finally put £100 in, she kept pressing me to add more and more money, although I didn’t, I should have seen the signs straight away. However I got away very lucky. When I first searched up this site about a month ago there was no info on it, nothing, so I wasn’t sceptical not optimistic, but today I have found this thread and it has opened my eyes to this scam artist. Just know that you are not alone. I was about to be scammed out of a lot of money and many other already have. I hope you can recover from this, stay positive and push onwards. These battles are what make us.

No legitimate company prevents you withdrawing your money. They would just take the fees / taxes etc from the balance.

STOP PAYING MORE MONEY!
Find a USA lawyer who advertises as a China litigation expert, and file a lawsuit against them in China where there bank is located. China still has laws, freeze the bank and take back your money legally. Most important info is find out what country they keep their funds that’s where your lawsuit must be

Sometimes it's easy to see how simpler folk are so easily parted with their money.
