TL;DR: I lost my house in an earthquake and also all my money on a U.S. based cryptocurrency exchange because U.S. government sanctioned normal Iranian citizens like me and now I'm homeless.

OP, I read through your post and it seems weird that there wasn't a warning ahead of time about that to allow you to pull out funds.

Not sure if or when you'll be blessed to get them back. I don't blame Slack for closing access as if they don't, the US government will come down hard.

It would be risky having any money on a foreign exchange, especially in a country that has a history of sanctioning your country. I have a bit on Binance via Coinbase, but only put in as much as an could afford to lose. I don't know if your media covered it, but Trump was declared many times when campaigning for president and once he became president that he would put sanctions on Iran.

Wish I was in a position to do something, but this sounds like something that won't be resolved until the embargo is lifted.

Add in Bittrex's fake location and that seems scammy.

I'd you go back on an exchange, never put in more than you're ok with losing.

Sucks to be you but you left your money on an exchange. Seizure was 100% avoidable, and you had to have known that exchanges are not safe given the history of exchanges exit scamming or getting hacked. Also, Trump didn't cause the earthquake, but good job priming people to feel sad for you so you can conflate that emotional response with the response that people have when you tell them that 'evil badguy trump took my money but please disregard the fact that I left it in the custody of other people :('
