Right... so no service to US Residents... they do not say how we are going to get our coins... if they are even going to give them to us...

I am quite sure that they will be refunding everything as far as they can - meaning, if you just withdraw your funds, you'll be fine. If they end up preventing US citizens from loging in, your best shot will be to make use of a VPN, or have a trusted (non US) forum escrow take out the funds for you. Them not offering services anymore to US citizens definitely doesn't mean you can kiss your funds goodbye. Most of the people there never even verified themselves, so in the end, there is no way to prove where you come from since IP's can be 'faked' due to proxies and VPN's, etc. If they really end up coming back, you should be getting your funds out without much problems, or at least, what's left of your funds, more precisely said.

This is my thinking as well. We'll see as the admins continue to answer more questions and as we approach the supposed launch date. I think there's a decent chance they will have people simply confirm that they are not US residents. They already said that the first tier of verification doesn't require any information. That just leaves the question of IP address. The only example I can think of is Bitfinex. When they relaunched last year, as long as you said you weren't a US resident, there were no IP restrictions. They haven't been super forthright answering questions about US users at this point (probably for plausible deniability).

US users with lots of funds on the exchange... that's a bit tricky. In that case, it's probably best to look into selling the account to someone who is willing and able to verify.
