It's not strange at all really, they're a professional company, so if you verify your account with them they have to obey the law which is what I suspect is happening here. It's ridiculous they have to do this and it sucks it's happening to people but they'd get shut down otherwise. This is one of the perils of having any kind of legitimate business that operates offline in any fashion.
I understand Polo does have to keep track of financial regulations by state. Reading about the shutdown for Washington State just made me shutter and think of the article I read about possible Insider Trading. I know it's not related but just made me kinda do a double take and think "Whoa". Then I read about why they are leaving Washington State. I may have overreacted and for that I do apologize.
It's totally understandable given the way Bitcoin is at time, it would piss me off if someone at Poloniex was doing that as I like trading with them myself. So far though they've always had legitimate reasons for doing the things they do.
Always read the fine print if you're planning on doing business with a company long term, that's something I've had to learn properly these days.
