Banks have frozen the accounts of German journalist Hüseyin Dogru‘s retired mother. This comes after banks froze his wife‘s accounts in March. Dogru was sanctioned last year by the EU for his reporting on anti-zionism and German pro-Palestine movements.

The „modernization“ of the BSA is going to be the implementation of „privacy preserving“ digital IDs and mandating banks to slap palantir ontop of SARs you heard it here first

Atlantic Council Carole "we need to censor bitcoin transactions at the miner level" House getting DESTROYED by Chairman Davidson for advocating in support of the BSA "Is that what the constitution says?" "That's not what it says."

If you‘re having a bad day tune in here to listen to literally everyone shitting on the Bank Secrecy Act, including the banking lobby lol https://www.youtube.com/live/5niANg9phSA

Love that so many people have been interested in how my money (once again) got frozen by an exchange. Also love that so many people on nostr celebrate the people building privacy tools in hopes that we can find a way to escape this system built on undemocratic censorship. But the real heroes are the people standing up to governments to change the laws that are causing these problems for people around the world in the first place. One of them is Nick Anthony, who is singlehandedly doing more to fight these unjust laws than anyone I know - and not enough people know about his work. Give Nick a follow and tune in to his testimony on how these laws have failed us before Congress tomorrow ⬇️ View quoted note →

There‘s a lot of questions people have when this happens, so I want to address them one by one. First, people ask why I still use an exchange. The answer to this is simple: because I need money in my bank account to pay my bills, just like any other normal person. Second, people recommend just using P2P services. But P2P services are even worse. Small frequent amounts from random people paid into your bank account will get you banned from any bank immediately as it throws an instant AML flag. Third, people blame the exchanges. Every exchange this has happened to me on (apart from one) has been exceptionally helpful and constructive. This is not the exchanges fault. So lets blame the banks! Also wrong. This is not the banks fault - it is the fault of laws that have turned banks into undemocratic policing vehicles. The banks hate these laws as much as we do - because it causes them to spend billions of $ on braindead compliance bros. I think its important to direct our anger where it matters: against the system that has been built to make this happen, and not against those enforcing it, as they mostly have no other choice ✌️ View quoted note →

My money has once again been frozen by an exchange. As always, I try to explain that I am a journalist and make my money through donations. I send them my donations page – and of course that's not enough. "Please show us receipts of when you purchased the bitcoin," they say. Because the concept of using bitcoin as money simply does not exist in the mind of a compliance bro. Its not illegal to receive anonymous donations – in theory. In practice, the bank will freeze your accounts until you KYC every donation you receive. This is the problem with AML: You can obey the law as it is written, and the bank will still penalize you without any chance at due process. All this, of course, while Jeffrey Epstein and friends move hundreds of millions through the banks for human trafficking. 1$ left in the bank account. Let's see how long this process takes this time.
