Circle bitcoin

[krb8]

I've been using circle a lot and Tuesday had a sell transaction denied. This morning I got the email below and am not sure how to answer the questions.

Your account is ready to go again!

We’ve noticed you use Circle a lot. That's awesome!

We have a quick question because we need to make a brief note about some of your transfers in order to comply with U.S. and E.U. regulations. This information is confidential and is only gathered to meet record-keeping requirements.

Whenever is convenient, do you mind sharing with us some information about your transaction activity?

What is your primary occupation?
What do you use to transact with Circle: your income, savings, investments, gifts, loans, or other? If other, please specify.
What is the purpose of these transfers?
Thanks again for your time and for being a Circle customer!

Sincerely,

Sam - Team Circle

Looks like your being investigated.

I've heard stories (although not a lot) of Circle banning people.

Are you using the blockchain as a middleman?

I've also heard that doesn't stop the Circle Ban sometimes.

I do the Kraken method which a poster was nice enough to share.

The theory is it will keep Circle at bay.

[Optional]

Hang on until some people who have been through this can give you advice.

it sounds like this level of check is pretty standard though so should be just a case of giving them suitable answers.

I do use blockchain first then transfer to circle.

Didn't mean to sound alarmist, KBR.

I use Circle a lot but have not received a questioning email.

I spent a few hours preparing for a scenario in which you described, and was a bit over-zealous in sharing.

Wait for some more experienced Circle users to chime in like Opti suggested.
