Now WHY on earth do I get the e-mail message below?  They are my lowest earner (3 to 5 eur/month) and I have only 54 EUR  waiting there ... 
Is this their subtle way of telling me the end of BS is getting closer?  Anyone else got this mail?

I have not received minimum payout yet so I didn't receive the email, but the minimum cashout is $30, so why would you leave your fortune sitting in your account?

I usually cash out 1x per year at Bigstock.
But that's not what this is about - the question is :  why do they urge me to cash out, while it is in their own interest if I just forget about it ?

I think it's just a friendly reminder.

If I were cynical and I thought that SS was greedy and evil I would suspect that they are trying to get everyone to cash out a few months before they stop operations so that they can keep all the new sales that don't add up to the cashout amount. That would be exciting news indeed.

Maybe they just want to know how many "inactive" accounts they have, so they can estimate how much money never will be requested for payout.

I also get these kind of mails from PayPal for instance.
The difference is: they probably want me to spend the money so they can cash on transaction costs.

You are not a profit, you are a liability and debt. Their profit and loss statement is better, with less debt.

"If a company owes for commissions on recent sales, but has not yet paid or recorded them, an accrual adjusting entry is made so they are included in the commissions expense reported on its income statement and are also reported as commissions payable (or included in accrued liabilities) on its balance sheet."

Bigstock is still in business? That's a surprise. Maybe it's being run by AI and the messages are generated because some program said to write to everyone.  ;D

Your tax form has expired and you need to redo it. You need to resubmit tax forms every 3 years.
