Took US Dollars ostensibly to purchase bitcoin. A year later when bitcoin had appreciated, I asked for them to sell the bitcoin and give me US dollars back.

They said "no" and said that I fundamentally misunderstood what an exchange was. It exchanges US Dollars into Bitcoin, it does not convert Bitcoin into US dollars.
