even if that was the reason, blocking the access to the balance is not a PROPER way of handling things, we had seen issues like that on many different crypto exchanges, Poloniex, Bitfinex, and many other ones had issues with different countries (Bitfinex even had problem with USA people), but in NONE of them, the user got his/her account BLOCKED and they never had problem with ACCESSING THEIR MONEY. only thing they had to do was to remove their balance within a given time and for that purpose, those few people had full withdrawal access WITHOUT limitation to empty their balance. having issue with a country DOES NOT mean you have the rights to BLOCK ACCESS to a person's money and balance!

I hope Richie and other staff are getting ready to pay for the consequences of blocking access to people's balance without orders from judges or governments, because, let's face it, we trade, we use stop losses, we move with market, when we don't have access to our balance, when we can't put any stop loss or any order, any profit loss, or any money loss, is considered a consequence FORCED by the bad support and wrong move from website, and those type of consequences, will be paid by them no matter what, and i assure you, there are people out there that are already seeking lawyers for this. i hope you are ready for such a thing Richie
