Uh, yeah, so like I said, I was not notified.  Immediately upon being notified by the big green text saying you can no longer withdraw unless you send us identity-theft-enabling documents I ceased any "continued use" and asked to close my account, which they are now refusing to do.  They failed to uphold their own terms by notifying me in advance.  At all times I made sure my Account contained up-to-date contact information.



Actually my trading software supports their API and pings my account to check its balance a few times an hour and displays it (in a list of overall positions) in the corner of my screen.  No message was ever returned via the API regarding this.

That aside, what if I had gone on a three-week vacation?  I mean seriously, "you went on vacation for three weeks" just doesn't sound like a legitimate excuse to confiscate somebody's account balance, no matter how you spin it.  Three years?  Sure.  Three weeks?  No way.
