I got a small deposit (100) in yesterday at Bitstamp and now they want me to answer 5 questions.
[ ... ]

Probably it is not Bitstamp that selects the unlucky customers who will get those questionnaires. There may be some agency that checks all deposits (by hand or through some algorithm) and picks the "suspicious" ones, that Bitstamp is required to question further.

"Artificial intelligence" algorithms are now routinely used by banks to spot possible card theft, and by governments to spot possible tax evasion.

100E? Is this for real? I'm not gonna send money to Bitstamp again. Any fiat will go through Bitfinex for now, until better options arise. Too many reports of this. I have become too fearful that they will freeze my funds to keep money there. What if they don't like my answers? What if they try to say my coins are from SR or something?
