What are your thoughts on this?

I am really disappointed by this email, and a lot of customers are going to stop using Bitfinex because of this.
 
Thank you for letting us know. This seems to be the start for the crypto world to slowly turn into a regulated environment :(

Their official tweet @bitfinex ...

Bitfinex on Twitter

We have not sent this message to all users. We have deliberately targeted users that we believe have an obligation to self-disclose. If a user has _not_ received a message from us, she need _not_ self-certify anything to us at this time.

I guess case by case basis. Maybe only people that are from certain jurisdictions and/or have used FIAT to withdraw/deposit. Any feedback from anyone who did receive the request?
 
I received this request.
I'm verified user on bitfinex, but NOT from US(fatca) or crs supported country.
Also I didn't do any withdraw\deposit used FIAT. Only crypto involved.
I guess they send requests for verified users who have large deposits(there are plenty suggests about deposit size that trigger request: 10k$, 100k$. 250k$. But nobody know for sure)
