I would like to update this thread now as I am EXTREMELY lucky they have made a mistake.
I told them I'm consulting a lawyer and to cancel my pending withdrawals as they were insistant on these informations.
Then somehow (even though they told me no transactions will be processed until they receive these) I did an XRP ripple withdrawal and it was processed instantlyl
Big oops for them and a big relief for meHello. I have had a couple btc since about 2014 and mainly use bitcoin for gambling and poker activities.
In April this year I had a big win at fortunejack about 30 btc
I deposited 16 btc to bitstamp. Sold 6 and left 10 btc in there
Few days ago went to sell the rest and they've frozen it and thus begins this following conversation by support tickets::

You are asking impossible things.
Then they reply this:

Does anyone have any advice
