...you know that you a lot of enemies in the EU bureaucracy /banking elite / lawmakers /etc.. would you rather just sit and wait what happens next or would you try to look and taste and smell as complaint as possible in advance.
they are acting responsible. they are protecting your funds.

Thats not the answer to my question! I am not against Bitstamp!
I just want to know more about the details! because if we get exactly the same bureaucracy as in the usual banking market, and even more, because Bitcoin became or was THE money-laundering outfit from the very beginning, than we can just shut down BTC.
Nobody needs a buggy, high speculative, money-laundering, pseudo currency! Which lets became you a potential criminal... only because you own some coins of it.

Questions:
1. developed Bitstamp this KYC questions alone, by itself?
2. Who developed the KYC questions? a company consulting agency like global datamining corp http://www.gbgplc.com/products/id3global/ with whom Bitstamp is working together?
3. how fit the KYC questionnaire to the laws and legal obligations?
4. etc

bitstamp boss: well, i am getting nervous about all the regulation heat. what should we do ?

lawyer: hell, no one knows, there laws aren´t made yet.

bitstamp boss: so better do nothing ?

lawyer: hell, no - you need to give at least the impression you are doing something.

bitstamp boss: but what ?

lawyer: listen, it doesn´t matter, just have a meeting with your staff and pick out someone to come up with some kyc questions and send those out to anyone who wants to get more than several thousand dollars per month. better pick some idiot, so you can blame the stupidity of the questions if the shit hits the fan.
