Not a whale, so here is hoping this won't be a problem. Just in case, what amount of cash is considered "large"? Their site says 1 BTC, in European banks they frown upon 2000-3000 EUR transactions, so I'm at a loss.

And what are the documents they can ask? They asked me the id, a selfie and a bank statement to check address, that's fine I guess? Same as with Wirex for example

Why do you still want to use this shady exchange despite a lot of red flag on it while there’s a lot of user friendly exchange like Binance that you will not be worried to deposit any amount since they have a better liquidity and proof of reserves to back every user balance.

I remember using a drivers license when I verify my Hitbtc account before but I’m not sure how they upgrade the KYC system since they become stricter now compared before.

Their trust page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=194708 as big warning to stay from this exchange. They are scammer even before until now.

When I tried out Binance it was confusing as hell. Ofc I went there first, but it was too many options, confusing interface as soon as you switch out the newbie mode. Tried to go to support (they had 24/7), was met with a chatbot. Couldn't trigger a real agent. Never came back.

Also checked out the link you said, the poster themself withdrew their argument because of these comments:

(xtraelv) You might as well tag them all. Every exchange has user complaints. Those users don't delete complaints after they have been resolved. Every legal exchange is subject to KYC laws - but customers consider it a scam if their funds are frozen. Users that have broken the law and have their funds seized will scream as loud or louder than those who have not broken the law and had their funds seized. Often an exchange cannot legally disclose why it is frozen.
Exchanges that are not subject to KYC are not in jurisdictions that comply with SEC rules and based in dubious countries. (So usually also exclude US citizens).
A lot of exchanges have dubious ownership structures - either in tax havens or hidden through trusts or shelf companies.
The exchanges that do comply with laws of the jurisdiction that they are in can seize your funds if requested by a Government and can pass your information to Government agencies.
Then there is wash trading and US tether... Has the exchange got Tether listed ?

Some exchanges offer low or no fee trading to coin devs. This allows the coin devs to trade their own coin giving the ability to create (fake) high volume without costing anything or a lot.

(Lauda) by idiotic policies I refer to the policies related to: Trust ratings, flags, and scam accusations. You are free to damage any business and entity with false accusations ad-nauseum (proven by QS & co.). Therefore, without a third party that has insight into the customer-exchange disputes, you can always assume that the customer is at fault unless there is objective evidence (no, screenshots don't fall under this category and no funds being locked is not evidence of malpractice) claiming otherwise.

They have valid points actually.
