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

This wasn’t listed in their fee structure,ICBC real-time foreign exchange rates 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.
