You triggered a fraud/compliance issue. It is serious enough that they are closing all your accounts.

If other banks also start closing your accounts, it may be time to find a lawyer.

"serious enough" can literally be buying crypto at a legitimate, regulated exchange.

The AML regulations are vague enough that banks do everything possible to cover their ass, and when they've got millions of customers, the few that have even slight indicators of risky activity are cheaper to ban than to investigate appropriately.

Yes, I wrote the first part in the description above. I will definitely need a lawyer if it happens at other banks.
It sounds like they "locked" the account. It should be time to see a lawyer now, depending on the balance.

Edit: why disagree?
