There are lots of reasons people can't meet the KYC requirements, typically either they don't have the docs that Binance asks for (an example, I kid you not: "What was the IP address you used when you first signed up?"

So just a reminder folks - the "Up to 2 BTC, No KYC" claim is a lie. They frequently lock user funds and try to KYC you while transacting in volumes far less than that.
