What lying? They are business and they have to comply to whatever the country where they are operating certain rules of operation or if they are being pressured.
I have read that it's because of IRS so they are also following what's the standard that what's given to them and for those closed account they are giving an instruction on how they can activate their account.
And if you are one of those people that has been disabled for using their trading platform you really have to follow and comply. US is becoming strict to the bitcoin exchanges / trading platforms.
The rules they're trying to enforce go beyond anything that either the Americans or Europeans require.
Also - I'd be very careful about uploading private information to these exchanges. Most get hacked, and then the info is sold on the dark web. With cryptsy, people started getting phishing emails (because the email addresses had been sold). Imagine how much worse it would be if your passport and other ID details were sold.
