Non-initiated forced closure.

Can your channel just force close on its own with no action? I am in a triangle with someone and they said that my channel forced closed on them and I did not initiate this?

So, now LNDB4TIME Channel is doing a force close. I’m only getting back my local amount it looks like. I opened up this channel of 2 million Satoshi‘s. Will I get the remote side back eventually?

I have another channel closing on me. This one doesn’t look like a force close. ( correction it is now turning into a forced close ). Contacted them through this service as they are in a swap triangle. Swamp 5743
LNDB4TIME Node Was off-line for a while I noticed before closing.

The first time initiated forced closing was from the bankofsovereignindividual that I am in the triangle with. Apparently their node was down for a bit also Before the closing initiated. This was a 5 million Satoshi channel which I only got back 2 million-ish Satoshi‘s. I re-opened up a channel to the bankofsovereignindividual (WOWWOW) of a 2.5 million Satoshi channel just to have a channel open with them because they are a good peer.

That's not how it works, the funds on the remote side are not yours anymore. If they switched to that side due to a forwarding event, funds on another channel have moved to your side instead, so those are belonging to you now.
