This is directed at Ukyo but he's rather busy, so till he can reply answers are welcome from anyone else who knows, such as affected issuers.
On 8th October, when the restrictions on U.S. users was revealed, some assets were also frozen on BitFunder. I'm asking about BTCInvest, but NastyFans was frozen too, possibly others.
Why so early and without warning? The nearest I can find to an explanation is this part of the notice from 8th October:
All assets and issuers must demonstrate that they meet BitFunder's requirements for the listing of assets, or the assets and issuers will, at BitFunder's sole discretion, be denied access to, or removed from, the site. Issuers will be notified of any additional information needed to demonstrate compliance with BitFunder's requirements.
What were these new requirements?
Why was it necessary to freeze the assets immediately, without any direct warning to the shareholders?
How much warning did the issuers get about these new requirements before their assets were frozen?
Thanks for your help.
