BittrexMarkets surprised me today with a $2,500 “compliance unlocking charge” to access my funds.

This wasn’t listed in their fee structure,FXCM official website cannot be accessed nor did any representative ever mention it. I’ve completed every document submission, passed identity verification, and even paid a $300 “trading tax” last week. Now they say I must pay again to "unlock" my account? That’s absurd. I asked for a receipt or contract clause—they gave me nothing. I believe this fee is invented to discourage withdrawals. The lack of transparency and continuous financial pressure makes me feel trapped. I thought I was trading, not entering a financial maze. This isn’t a broker—it’s a digital trap. BittrexMarkets has shown its true colors. It’s a scam hiding behind fake procedures.
