Some people call it a False Flag, others a Marketing Plan:winkwink:

Read some articles rather than the hysterical ones ...

Setting up back up bank accounts might be a good idea ...

Two weeks after the Sandy Hook shooting when the government started talking about gun regulations he went back to see how it had affected their business. Half the store was empty. In a matter of a few days they had sold out of much of to stock and he said in some cases the gun manufacturers were telling them it could be 24 months until they could get more.

Except you are forgetting about all the ammo the government has been buying up

Maybe WF doesn't listen too well, any ways, glad to see someone is stepping up

I know for a fact that Wells Fargo is (or was 10 years ago, and to my knowledge hasn't changed) comparatively friendly towards "alternative lifestyles" for a major bank, so that does make sense.

Did you know that Wells Fargo charges 0.3% fee for all deposits over $7,500.00 a month on their checking accounts? That is what I recall reading in their terms the other day, [x] bye -- for Deposits .3% :upsidedow

Not very good conspiracy theory fodder.

Yeah, I think that's kind of a reach, one step too far.

To me the most logical explanation is that DOJ instructed banks to look at 3rd party processors and the risky transactions/clients they serve (there are *plenty* of non-porn entities that are very sketchy in that regard, some listed in that article). The banks - some of which do have a history of shutting down accounts via moralizing - are using that as carte blanche to get rid of undesirables don't fit in with their board's "moral guidelines". This isn't Ashcroft or Meese's DOJ, these guys don't give a shit about porn, this one's on the banks.

Sure, I never said they won't try to wring every possible fee out of their customers, that's business as usual. I just know from firsthand experience they are comparatively tolerant of 'alternative lifestyles' and socially liberal relative to the other giant American banks. I'd even guess from what I've seen, that there's some kind of internal directive to strive for that, tho that's only semi-informed speculation on my part. Still I'd recommend them for people in our industry on that standpoint.
