So Im hearing that all US users at Bitfinex account are now frozen.
Any United States users that can confirm this?
It's unclear how many users are affected. Apparently only
verified US users are affected. One of two stories is being told:
1) Synapse Pay revoked Bitfinex's access to their bank accounts and wired money held back to customers. Those users had their accounts frozen for "accounting reasons" and it's unclear how many have access to the rest of their funds now.
2) Some users had their "BitGo wallets frozen" (according to BitGo, this was actually done by Bitfinex) and for similar "accounting reasons" do not have access.
Really scary stuff for these customers.
There are a lot of restrictions on issue of "securities" in the US.
That could be one reason with Bitfinex does not want US citizens to buy these tokens.
