After you gave up and walked away did you ever recover your funds at a later date?

If you refused to comply to their add-on ToS what would happen to those 0.012 BTC funds? Would they distribute it to a charitable cause which can be traced/proven or would they simply let it sit in limbo?

I had a similar experience with a smaller amount (0.012 BTC), they refused to let me withdraw that unless I provided the necessary documents. I ended up giving up on the account and switching to Kucoin/Binance.

If they requested a second identification document, try to provide it. Don't you have IDs in your country? Try to make one and send it to them. If you fail to provide what they're requesting, your account will remain locked.

I still haven't recovered the funds, they're still sitting on the account but since you asked, I searched and found this:

If your Bittrex Account has been inactive and you have not responded to reasonable attempts by Bittrex to contact you for a period of several years (as defined by the relevant state statutes), Bittrex may have an obligation to report any Tokens in your Hosted Wallet or any fiat currency in your Bittrex Account to the applicable governmental entity as unclaimed property. If this happens, Bittrex will attempt to contact you using the contact information provided by you. If you do not respond, Bittrex may be obligated to turn over any Tokens in your Hosted Wallet or any fiat currency in your Bittrex Account to the applicable governmental entity after deducting any fees payable to Bittrex.

I'm guessing that "inactive" here is a reference to logins and not trading?

Thank you for the update. Whether it is related to "logins" or "trading" surely they have to send an email to you before they seize your balance. Did they not even send one to you yet?

They haven't actually. Since they enforced KYC, I've only received a couple of emails regarding wallet removals.

Well, the dinkfest continues.

 Four days of mining ETH have yet to show up in my Bittrex wallet. Normally it takes 1/2 hour tops. Sent a note to Bittrex. Is there an issue with the ETH chain?

I'm not so familiar with mining, but have your total deposits exceeded 0.05 yet? If not, that's probably why.

It doesn't look like there is something wrong with the network or the exchange's wallet either: https://global.bittrex.com/status

Sorry I missed this post otherwise would have replied earlier.

I think it is wrong for them to use this or any other tactic to seize funds. Does anybody know what they intend to do with funds they seize?

It says they were going to give them to the government? lol.... What government is holding unclaimed shittokens for people? The thought is laughable.  

Sketchy.

[paramind22]

You are selling me coins that you are not allowing me to sell on your exchange because you triple the requirement
after you sell them.  That's unethical behavior.  

I bought Numinaire from you two times and held the coin now am told I cannot make a profit from it because I need 3x the amount
I have to sell it.  Why allow us to buy it from you if we cannot trade it?

[JollyGood]

Do we have any statistics showing exactly how much they have allegedly given to the government since they implemented this tactic and to which government they gave funds to?

How can anybody take Boittrex seriously when all this sounds ridiculous, it seems they want to seize funds and not return them under any any excuse - usually KYC failing.

I have a couple of questions:
1. This seizure of funds is applicable only for US citizens or for everyone? Because I didn't get an e-mail regarding any kind of frozen funds or wallets.
2. These funds are unclaimed tokens? And if yes, then how on Earth can somebody freeze something that it is unclaimed?
3. I only read the last page and it's near two months that members post regarding this issue and OP doesn't post a word. They don't care anymore to reply here, on their thread?

[JollyGood]

The are tactics and techniques to scam users, nothing else. They dress it up using various words and sentences but they are just playing with words to steal.

You are right, it is a strategy that almost every company/ exchanger uses if they want to lock down funds. So I was expected OP to reply here and explain a bit.

Look at the trust rating of the OP: https://asktom.cf/index.php?action=trust;u=96390

He last logged in to the forum on 4th March 2020, he would probably not be replying to anything even if he did read your post. His last post was in 2017 in a different thread:
https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=1028119.msg19916025#msg19916025


Even Bittrex-Bill the Bittrex representative in the forum last posted in 2017 so do not expect anything from Bittrex:

I saw that so I figure that he would answer. I guess I was wrong.
IMO it's very "bad" (I don't want to use other words for the moment) to stop replying to the users/ members of a community that brings you to "life". Without members of the forum and the community in general, would not even exist... So that's it, now that they have become "big-shots" they have forgotten where they (all) came/ start from?

Ethereum did the same thing, so many people use this forum as a platform to kick-start their careers, projects and businesses but in the end most of them move off the forum after get rich or they make a name for themselves.

Haven't logged into bittrex in long time because they didn't allow ny users anymore even though im outside the us.  I had submitted my information a long ago with my ny documents.  But how is bittrex now for us users?  Still no ny users allowed right?

What do you mean "ny users"? I dought that they don't accept new users, as long as you pass their KYC/ AML procedures...

US Citizens are not the only people which was blocked from using Bittrex. You might want to check if your Country was part of the additional Countries which was restricted by Bittrex global
