I remember there are many more such cases, but can't find web articles about them right now, so I'd appreciate any additions.
Any exchange that works with Chainalysis and similar companies can freeze customer accounts if they software marked their address as ''tainted''.
You are missing Binance exchange from that list, and they are freezing accounts for sure for various reasons if they think something is suspicious.
I remember reading before how many Colobian users accounts got frozen, and others got flagged for risk management and anti-money laundering:
