They'll do that sooner or later. Everyone in the money-handling industry has to randomly lock-up funds and not tell you why, because that's what anti-money-laundering laws require.

Ok, but there's a difference between doing that because you are required to by law, and doing it because you've chosen to adopt appalling business practices.
