There are no PDT restrictions from withdrawing your money and closing your account.

RM, I am very sorry to hear about your recent troubles. I hope you get well soon and gain your freedom. At least you can afford the very best legal representation.

Your numbers are all wrong. You only get 1 share of TREE for every 30 shares of IACI, so the "when issued" shares are trading at less than a 1% premium over IACI.
