You left so much money in an exchange? why did you do that?

Where does this money come from? If you have nothing to hide you have two options:

Option 1: expect a response from them.

Option 2: once you have so much money, you can hire a lawyer and together with your lawyer you can go to their headquarters to complain in person

What the %#$@.
You left 21 BTC worth in Bittrex???!!!
No wonder they took it from you, why wouldn't they?!
Did you hear about the guy 10 months ago who was sending 10 BTC and by mistake did that with a 50 BTC transaction fee?
Now he wants it back.
Shall we all chip in and make him whole?
Sorry.
Guys this is real life and you are dancing on the razors edge.
We are all responsible for our actions and the results of those actions.
You did this.
I hope it works out for you at the end of this long, uphill battle you are about to take. (assuming you and the money are not dirty. I mean they did flag you.)

People, the hammer is about to come down on Bittrex and you are asking for it if you leave anything on there for more than 5 minutes.
ALWAYS POSSESS YOUR PRIVATE KEYS!!!!!

USD 120,000 locked in a shady exchange. This is why fraud and scams thrive and grow on this planet. People like you inject all those funds in exchanges managed by fraudsters. I'm perfect happy with labeling them fraudsters and won't retract it. An exchange which prevents their users from accessing their assets unencumbered and freely is a fraudulent exchange. If they have regulatory concerns and if they are justified, then they should return monies and coins to the account owner and close their accounts. Locking their assets is fraud. And frauds are perpetrated by scammers.

I cannot understand how you can go to bed peacefully with $120k stored in a wallet whose private keys you do not know and control. That's an enormous amount of money. I just don't know what to think when I read all these scam stories about blocked and locked millions.

While since the beginning you should verify your self then load your coins there. They could've send a mail that you need to take your money, i think it will soon.

Well the reasons why I left All that money there,
1# I was verified for more than a year.
2# They're based In the US and they're regulated (So didn't expect this)
3# I'm a day trader so I need to jump on trends and TA

dude! You are a big fish but it's not just about you, they have been busy ripping thousands of people these days and they have not any time, to respond, you know they are just digesting the catch, you know, gambling, drugs, girls, yeah they are so much busy ...

And if you are in US, just go to a lawyer, pay him a share and send feds to them. As a miner I have lost few coins in this scam and if you did something good, I personally can donate half of my lost if your lawyer could find a name and an address to open a file against these bastards,  I promise, I'll pay my share, just find these bastards and put them in the jail.

Bittrex is based in the USA, actually in Seattle, Washington. They have already committed fraud by their so called 'account disabled' scam. It is almost 2 weeks and they have used victims' deposits in the boom times, obviously. Even if they 'generously' re-grant people's access to their deposits, it won't fix everything ...

This is one of the stupid things happen when a president campaigns with an agenda like 'America First'.

See? a regulated firm in a regulated state commits fraud aggressively and publicly and no signs of prosecution neither a regulatory reaction, nothing at all! Why? because most of the victims are not citizens of the USA and they deserve to be ripped off.

America First! God Bless American thieves, they bring $$ to the country and participate in Making America Great Again. They deserve to be praised.

After a few days of receiving no response, followed by a canned message that made absolutely no sense, I started looking for ways to get in touch with the Bittrex staff directly.

The support page says they can be reached on freenode, IRC #Bittrex - but when you log-on, they've "moved to Slack.  But the catch is, in order to join the Slack channel, you have to receive an invitation .. and that invitation is reserved for those with "enhanced" status... which is what they removed from my account when they downgraded it to "new".   Which means I can only withdraw 0.025 BTC per day.

This is criminal.  Is anyone on this forum doing anything more than complaining?

They might be based in the US, that doesn't necessarily mean they are *actively* regulated. They are subject to US laws but if you pay enough to the right lawyers they can keep you out of jail for most crimes. I don't see any agency actively regulating cryptocurrency, the is more of a "light touch" approach and shutting down the worst cases of criminal behaviour

Keep in mind people this can happen to all users on any exchange.

together with your lawyer you can go to their headquarters to complain in person

And/or get verified in person.

Seems they don't care much about threads in scam accusation. They are us based and that makes sense, I think situation will be fixed, there is no need to immediately enter in their office or hire a lawer.
Contact this person, he created ANN thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=96390
Don't they have a phone? I couldn't find on their site (hope I amn't blind).
100k isn't joke, hopefully price rises but if it starts fall and they will let you to withdraw after that, request them to cover your financial lose. What a pity, I thought bittrex was great, seems they suck.

Exactly the reason why i stopped using bittrex. They used to be a reliable exchange even if you don't have your papers but now they seem really anal about the terms and conditions that nobody bothers to read. Heck, all i want is a fast transaction, you can take your 0.25% fee or whatever.

Maybe they've got a legit reason for reviewing your account, but reviewing it for so long is unacceptable imo.

Unfortunately, you just gotta wait.

The important thing right now all people get touch with our problems and act as a one body against such fruad exchange.
hope other members in this forum understanding our problem, we get scammed guys!!

I dont know whether to feel pity for you or to join others to knock you because really, you deserves to be knocked. To have that kind of amount showed that you are not a newbie to the game and that alone tells you that leaving any of your fund on exchange site is a big no, no matter the convenience it might bring and that is where the issue comes in. Bittrex woke up one day and then disable all withdrawal unless you do your extensive KYCs and I guess its as a result of that was your account flagged for someone to have that amount of btc.

It even more annoying to see their response with so much effrontery on how creating additional tickets wont make your case faster in addition of not even giving a time frame to the end of such. I hope you can get it resolved and move one to another platform or even keep it in an offline wallets to avoid stories such as this.

In simple words : people trust "BITTERX" and that's why many and many of them never care about funds and sleep while their orders running smoothly.
My advice is: go to meet them in twitter

Statement on disabled accounts
Ryan
October 17, 2017 18:28

We would like to address recent reports regarding Bittrex account suspensions.

We occasionally conduct compliance reviews and are working vigilantly to protect our service and our users from harm. As part of a compliance review, we have temporarily suspended certain accounts pending the completion of the review. The total number of suspended, closed, or banned accounts is very limited: less than 0.1% of the total accounts on Bittrex.  More than 99.9% of Bittrex accounts are unaffected.

Any reports that Bittrex miscalculated or misapplied its exchange fees, that there is a security problem with the exchange, that Bittrex lost any coins stored on users’ behalf, or that Bittrex is banning people trying to access Slack to discuss the status of their accounts are incorrect.  We are committed to making Bittrex a strong, safe, and compliant exchange where people can securely participate in the digital currency economy.  We ask for patience from our highly valued customers.  As for us, we plan to “keep calm, and carry on.”

the same happened with bitstamp. just hold on for a moment.

3# I'm a day trader so I need to jump on trends and TA

This is one of the major site i am trading and i did not knew that they would freeze your account even after verification and it is taking a really long time to get an answer from them,it looks like the paypal shit and what they used to do,freeze your account if you received any big amount and then you wont hear from them for almost a year,almost all of the cryptocurrency exchanges have shitty customer support as it would take up to three weeks to get a response from any of the exchanges,i will be following this thread to know the updates on whether they are releasing your coin or not,hope they will ask to reverify your details and release your coins.

I have been there for 2 years, and last month Bitterx disabled my account too, later on asked to apply for basic verification, then Enhanced, and get all done! Now I have an approved Enhanced account, but My Account Still DISABLED, I asked support, but said you are ok try to check now! But nothing . ... still in that state for 22 days.
Now who's control Bitterx? Local US rules? ... when did that start?.. after we add our funds (2 years a go) ?... according to what? ... "Unknown Reasons".
Now what we have to do? Waiting answers while our funds in that Great Exchange "Bitterx".
