@AurumXchange : Did Zhou so far provide evidence that these 40.000 "for a friend" are legitimate? Is he cooperative in that point?

No, he has not. We have sent numerous emails requesting very specific KYC information and received nothing in return.

Here is the situation (as far as I can explain in a public forum). The moment Zhou Tong, in his uncontrollable verbosity, said that the funds he exchanged through us were exchanged "for a friend", he not only breached our end user exchange agreement (which clearly specifies that third party exchanges are strictly prohibited), but also broke every AML/CFT law in existence.

We are now required by law to withhold these funds on a segregated account until:

1) The identity and residential address of each party involved can be proven by the furnishing of KYC information that is identifiable through the use of reputable services such as world-check.com and/or notarized statements by local authorities.
2) This would include the identity of Zhou Tong, "the friend", and the Multi-millionaire relic collector, since the origins of this funds are more likely the result of criminal activity.
3) We will need certified statements of the origins of funds, along with official declarations of the financial institutions involved in the handling of this funds corroborating the flow of capital.
4) Since Zhou Tong is the prime suspect of this investigation, we are under no obligation to release information to him. We have asked him repeatedly for his attorney's contact information, and to this date we have received no answer.
5) Once this information is received, and our investigation is concluded, we will report our fundings to the relevant authorities who will decide how to proceed.

Once the information is received, we would report our findings and facts to the competent authorities, and most likely release the funds to their appointed receiver for further action.

I trust you guys, but are acting extremely unprofessional. I will personally never use your service in fear of you publicly going after users in this format. From an outsiders perspective you really look terrible. I'm serious. ZT looks bad, but so do you.

You have stated ZT is the prime suspect? In what? Is there even a fucking police report? He is the prime suspect according to you, AFAIK.

Basically, you are just holding his money because you want to. You have stated he has broken your TOS. I am sure you have violated your own TOS when you have posted personal information about your users all over the web.

This is turning into a big fucking joke.

Get the fucking money to the lawyers so us bitcoinica users can get our money back. That's it.
