They then asked me to send an Identity Document (My Drivers License) and my Proof of Residency, along with a picture of my holding my ID.

I sent my DL, a picture of me holding it, and a picture of my FCC License (Issued by the USA Government). They said those documents could not pass their AML system, and that law enforcement would be notified.

I talked to them a bit more, and now they wanted an Apostille Clause sent.

It is now August 6th, and they refuse to refund me my BTC or pay me. I opened a case within IC3 and was contacted by the FBI they would be pursuing this, and that they have the suspects name and address (Even though the domain had whois protection they had the registrar release the info).
