just to inform people
regulations do NOT give exchanges the authority to freeze funds / confiscate funds

if a customer has been flagged as being a AML risk. the exchange is suppose to only write out a SARS report but NOT inform the customer they are under investigation

the only time that funds should be frozen is if there is a court order. at which point the funds would be seized by the authorities and the customer would be informed of the seizure straight away by the authorities

it is not the job of an exchange to act as a sheriff/judge/customs officer. it is just an exchanges job to act as a witness/informant
