Bitstamp are reversing verification for already verified members. I have a deal lined up that I was trying to pay for (several thousand dollars, a deal which I must now miss out on (few choice words come to mind Bitstamp) - logged into Bitstamp to grab some bitcoin to send and received a message saying my verification was not approved and I would need to resubmit documents. Note this was not even emailed to me, just waiting until I log in (why wait until I actually need to use your service to start remediation???)

I've been verified since last year and have done plenty of depositing, trading and withdrawing in that time.

So - WTF? No notice or warning, just all my funds are frozen until I can verify
AGAIN. Serves me right for having funds on an exchange I guess. I thought Stamp were supposed to be one of the better exchanges, but outright freezing withdrawals (bitcoin included) of already verified members with NO NOTICE is just f*cking disgusting behaviour. Apologies for the language, just angry at having some 3rd party cost me a business deal for some arbitrary reason of their choice.
TL:DR;
1) Bitstamp may freeze your funds regardless of if you are already verified, assuming because of some new documentary requirement
2) You won't know it's happened until you log into your account (they won't email you)
3) You must re-verify before you can access any bitcoin held at Stamp
Hope it's just me but somehow I doubt it.
