After an email and payout address screen, the next asks for:

Is there any reference on that page to how the data will be stored and for how long? There are usually a shit load of laws regarding collecting information which contains unique government identifiers and you're usually required to inform users of the specific legislation which requires the collection information, what the information will be used for, any privacy legislation which applies to the collection of the data, etc. Nefario needs to get his hot-shot lawyer to draft a notice regarding the authority to collect the information and the data protection measures which will be taken. He also needs to inform people of how long the information will be retained. In FATF nations (of which the UK is one), data collected for AML/KYC purposes is generally required to be kept for 5-7 years.
theymos, I'd seriously consider handing any remaining funds in your control over to a lawyer to be kept in trust for the time being.
