It is not exactly a fact that they will need an ID verification in case of the 55% withdrawal.
The verification would only be if that suspicious "investor company" (probably btce again on another mule) takes over, which is, in their words, bound to KYC/AML laws.
However, even though it says "all users need to verfiy" it is not entirely clear if they mean the btce token holders or the first 55% withdraws.
Indeed it looks really weird at this point.
It took me almost 1 month to get fully verified on bitstamp while they had more employees than btc-e and they didn't have to verify all users at once.
How much will take btc-e to verify all users? At least 1 year!
In this time fbi will follow crypto trace and will shut down the new exchange.The only ones that will get their coins will be btc-e owners and few lucky users.
Why would they choose to verify all users when for people that do not use fiat and for people that have small amounts of cash verification is not needed to stay legal?
