So US residents are screwed?? I want my coins back too!
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. At least not yet. It's completely expected that the "new service" wouldn't serve US customers. Keep in mind that they said Tier 1 involves no verification at all. And they said something along the lines that if you were previously verified, that your documents were destroyed. A convenient loophole for previously verified US users. The question is how they plan to enforce this prohibition. As someone mentioned earlier, it could just be prompt where you click "No, I am not a US resident."

What else would you expect?
The US government caused the problem in the first place, and doesn't want you to have your coins, else they would not have done what they did. Take it up with them.
Someone's salty.
The US government doesn't want you to have your coins, either, wherever you're from. Thankfully, they may not be in a position to do anything about it in this case.
