I have had the legacy account for years.
Bittrex locked me up about a week ago, so I made a successful ID verification, but I refused to make an extended KYC verification. They want a photo of my face along with the ID, but I disagree with it.
My argument is that they don't have my permission to own and keep my photo. From my point of view, it is a great risk to give them such a picture.

So today they asking for our face photo with ID, and next time they will want maybe our DNA or other biometric identification. Who knows.
I don't understand how they can rob people in this way.
Too bad for bittrex. I was also asked to verify uploading my ID to get approve for any withdrawal I will be made. So I need to verify it again with a selfie? We have been tricked of that extended KYC I didn't know there is. Now I know I should be aware now.
