I was pretty shocked as well. Luckily I don't care about the government trying to get me. Would help to expose them since I "did nothing wrong".

This reminds me of when Skrill took 100€ of mine hostage until i delivered them a photo of me and my ID . I got "your account has been diabled due to safety rasons" and had to contact their support which also mostly sent automated mails.

Bittrex could have been at least much better at communicating this change.
