And what's the parameter of innocence?
I wish FixedFloat answered my previous reply before you posted this, but you beat me to it.  I was ready to paste and publish a pre written answer no matter their reply.

Fixed Float said this.

Correspondence, transactions may be requested; confirmation of ownership of the address by sending any transaction; links and contact details of the user who sent funds from an address explicitly related to the crime; if the funds were received from a mixer that directly sent funds related to the crime, then simply providing information to confirm receipt of funds from the mixer.

So they provided a list of proof they can request.  To which I replied,

So.  If I provide correspondence, all TXID's, confirm the address is mine and provide a screenshot of the seller's Bisq profile then I am good to go?

If the answer is negative, then to me it becomes obvious this is selectively scamming and not about solving crime cases.  If the answer is positive, then the entire system is useless and a waste of time.  On both ends.

I wrote the reply above thinking of a setup where a criminal sets up a trade between them and themselves, deposits the funds onto Fixed Float and pretends they never knew their Bitcoins have illegal origin.  They provide correspondence, although they spoke to themselves, all TXID's, confirm the address is theirs, provide a screenshot of the fake seller's Bisq profile.  Then what happens is you are enabling funds with criminal origin to be used onto your service and the criminal becomes innocent.

Which begs the question, of what good is their action to freeze funds if a very simple loop hole can be done within minutes to basically make the money legitimate?

And all of them have the guts to pretend they are saving the world.  Fixed Float's way of saving the world can be easily exploited by a criminal.  The criminal becomes innocent and the innocent customers like me get selectively scammed by having their funds frozen and seized.  The criminal gets their money back through their simple setup, I get my funds stolen by Fixed Float for not thinking the unthinkable: I uninstalled the Bisq I used a few years ago and have no proof of my trade, therefore I deserve to have my money taken away.

This is B S.  There is no service in the world that can explain they are doing good by imposing Know Your Customer procedures.  If anything, Know Your Customer enables my identity to be stolen and legitimate customers to be robbed off their Bitcoin while criminals continue their job with no barriers.
