BittrexMarkets told me I must pay $1,850 “security clearance surcharge”

This fee was never disclosed during account registration or cms traderin any terms I agreed to. I submitted all necessary documents and was told my account was approved for withdrawals. But now this unexpected cost blocks my funds. Attempts to get clear, official information were met with scripted, evasive replies. It’s evident this charge is a fabricated barrier to trap client money and extort more payments. I am disappointed and warn others to be wary of BittrexMarkets’s dishonest tactics.
