They keep money of a lot of people on hold with no prior warning demanding selfies from them. Support is unresponsive. Money is locked up for days and weeks. No word fro them on the situation.

Stop using Kraken!

go check the thread. Don't deposit fiat! They going to lock up your money and demanding a selfie with no prior warning. Support gone silent. Just giving you a heads up so you can avoid having money locked up for weeks or months maybe and a lot of hassle with their support. Don't let them give you the runaround.

Ok, what?  This is a service that "demands a selfie"?  As in, they want to see a picture of you?  What does this service do?  I'm confused.

They want id-picture for whatever reason. Their explanation is fraud-prevention which doesn't make sense. I smell fish here. Talking about kraken-exchange.

Interesting.  Well I haven't used any of the exchanges yet but I'd be uncomfortable letting a company dox me and with a photo too!  There was a bitcoin atm put in in Texas but I think it the same sorts of problems: fingerprints, photos, dna sample, medical records,  ...

as far as i am aware deposits, yes. I don't know about withdrawals. At this point i would recommend to withdraw in crypto and wait what's going to happen there.
