After going through the whole process of verifying my account, sending them signed transactions of wallets I control that received LTC, PPC and BTC from them along with much more proof they sent me this:
Utter bullshit. I'm not even a US resident. I haven't lived in the US for 5 years. Bitfinex was fine with non-US residents using their exchange. Non-US residents are not bound to the same SEC or exchange laws as US residents.
They can just come up with some new reasons (after they have your money) on why they can keep your money.
If you read the reply carefully it says "USA citizens". Resident is not the same as citizen. I'm assuming you're a U.S. citizen. I've not heard of anyone (credible) who's not from USA not getting their money (until this last maintenance that is). I'm not sure what laws they apply here, although given how USA treated them, you can sort of understand the overreach. Hopefully it will work out in the end for you, though it's not looking good right now.Quote
Hi,
Unfortunately we haven't found any way to work with USA citizens yet. We will renew our news portals when this possibility appears

For anyone who'd like to speculate, there's a good opportunity to make profit now if you're willing to place your bets on wex to come through.
Example:
1. You have 1 BTC
2. You buy $8400 USDT on poloniex
3. You send $8400 USDT to wex
4. Current price at wex is $3000 BTC/USDT, so you can exchange $8400 to 2.8 BTC
5. Sell 2.8 BTC for WEXUSD (current price $9638), yielding you $26984!
6. You can increase the amount further by speculating that their USD token will reach 100% recovery. Current price is 0.554 which means you can turn 26984 into 48711.
7. From $8400 (1 BTC) to $48711. That's 5.8x.
You are just asking for negative rep.. aren't you ?
Silly mole..
