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.
Maybe they are suspecting some malicious activities in your account, so I would advise that if you have coins in that account, just carry out the verification since there is nothing else you can do about this, maybe a rule have been broken and the only way for them to get your account unlocked is to carry out KYC for you alone. I don't make use of bittrex for trading so I might not be able to say what really happened that your account was blocked, I like their platform but I am already making use of binance for my trading activities.
