Well, that sucks.

Even worse, did they notify anyone prior to making this change??? It appears to be very beneficial for them not to notify the users before making this change.

I went to double check to see if we had any balances at Polo and was asked to provide KYC info before I could even check the balance (I used the exchange to find out instead).

I checked our gmail account and I see no warning that this change would be made. That's kind of ***tty/underhanded if you ask me. Or did I simply miss some announcement?
