Has this list been updated? You're most certainly not authorized for the United States if you don't have an MSB license.

The only reason btc-e is in a quasi legal state is because they don't use their own bank accounts (and even then they don't accept US wire transfers).

It is not possible to submit a EURO withdrawal request for at least two days now. This is unacceptable even during a weekend. For now I assume it will get fixed on Monday.  Be careful and do not deposit until this is fixed!

Dear MrWDunne,
 
This list is accurate and up-to date. Regarding your comment about the United States: persons or companies from the United States are allowed to participate on our platform. Only an exchange operating under U.S. law and/or on US territory requires an MSB license in the United States. Our exchange is subject to European jurisdiction and therefore not subject to this clause.
 
This does not exempt us from other obligations such as screening our clients, investigating and reporting suspicious transactions and requiring identification from individuals wishing to operate with large amounts of regulated currencies.
 
This also does not exempt clients from the United States of having to declare any capital gains or losses they have incurred on our platform.
 
We hope this answers your question.

Fincen laws still apply to you if you accept US citizens, at least in the majority of states.

Texas also declared this, as one example ^source

While you may not be arrested for it, you could well have your funds seized, and then you become insolvent.

All non-US banks that hold US currency still have their dollars held inside the US.

Dear MrWDunne,

We appreciate your concern, but unfortunately it seems you are not up-to date on many legal questions surrounding the Banking industry and the Bitcoin industry. Each state in the U.S. is allowed to make its own laws with respect to money transmission and there is nothing to argue about that question.

However, laws still have to pass the court’s test, which none of them have – we have yet to see a single case setting precedent with respect to how Bitcoin exchanges are regarded and treated by the law if they are outside of U.S. jurisdiction. As it has also been pointed out in the same link you used as a source, there is no “federally” recognized money-transmitter license in the U.S. which makes the situation substantially more complicated – once again only a real case in a courtroom will shed light on how to interpret current legislation in the case of Bitcoins.

Regarding “having funds seized” – a court in the U.S. can only demand to have assets on U.S. soil frozen. Moreover, your claim that all non-US banks hold their dollars inside the US is outright wrong. Quite a large number of Banks do not hold their dollars inside the US – the whole concept behind the US dollar and its immense influence is due to the fact that it is held OUTSIDE of the US and used as a settlement instrument outside the US.

Thx @hitbtc.  EUR Withdrawals work again!  Please understand that it is a bit worrying if a new exchange disables that option :-).

well, actually I am still running into "invisible" limits (well below balance and verification status related withdrawal limits).
even if only a few people are experiencing this, I´d rather not be one of them.

thank you for the active support contact here and via email.
Unfortunately there seems to be some issue with the limits active for my (verified) account.
As soon as the first (part of what I originally wanted to withdraw) arrives on my bank account I will also update here to confirm it working.

It is reassuring to obviously be only one of a very few people experiencing these withdrawal issues, as your platform works like a charm apart from this bottleneck on the fiat exit side which I am currently experiencing.
Nevertheless I would highly appreciate having this episode resolved.

HerrAndreas.

Dear HerrAndreas,

Hey HitBTC,

there is a discussion on reddit about your volume. http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/25mpbf/hitbtcs_volume_is_very_suspicious/

I raised concerns about your unorganic daily-volume before. On reddit someone analyzed your intraday-volume and found out that it also is unorganic - same number of little trades in every minute. Can you give a comment on this issue?

Thank you for your answers
