Chase is banning customers from buying crypto. Meanwhile, the feds are arresting peer-to-peer sellers like and @rizzn. I'm facing 20 years in prison because 1-2% of my thousands of buyers turned out to be scam victims.

ciminals also like using hsbc..you should ban money transfers to other banks as well

"In 2012, HSBC Holdings (HSBC), one of the world's largest global banks, was hit with a $1.9 billion fine for, most notably, serving as a conduit for Mexican drug cartels. The penalty, which was coupled with $665 million in civil penalties, exposed severe problems with the bank's compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) controls."

If #banks were so worried about "#scams". How about they run workshops empowering people with knowledge on how they can avoid MITM'd websites that are decrypted at Cloud(G)lare, (Sc)Amazon, and Akamai.

Workshops on using computers they have *full* control over, with control over who can contact them over #XMPP?

Workshop people protecting themselves by using privacy browsers like Tor.

Oh that's right they actually don't care about their customers, at all.

@dsfgs

Pretty sure my bank sends out notices of such workshops all the time.

Folks feel like they have better things to do than sit through those classes.

Sounds like something governments should be talking about in their PSAs though.

Wow, are you able to confirm? That sounds AMAZING. We would love to see prove of a bank talking about freedom software, freedom hardware, XMPP, Tor etc.
