Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poker)

[jtollison78]

I really don't understand what the problem is here. With housing going downhill quickly and expanding home equity loans now drying up, we need a new waying of dropping money straight into consumers hands or else the American economy collapses.

The only point is that BOA has been a huge stickler for tons of players when it comes to EFT's and depositing/cashing checks, and turn around to do something like this that seems far more risky and gives an opportunity for illegals to enjoy something they otherwise could not.

But they are doing their best to make sure U.S. Citizens can't get a hold of their poker loot.

All I ask is for BOA to turn a blind eye on both counts, or neither.

I think you missed the point (and possibly my doom oriented sarcasm), in that the importance of keeping a completely consumer driven american economy afloat dwarfs the importance of helping out a few poker players.

mostly I was taking a shot at the almost surreal economic times we live in rather than your post. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

A key difference is one is illegal and the other is not. The real thing to gripe out is the know your customer laws.

BoA isn't INS. They're not an official government back, in case you didn't realize that. They'll do what's in their best interests, and if it includes taking business from illegals (which is no different from investing in a sketchy foreign market), then more power to them.

Free enterprize.

I don't give a hoot who they loan their money to. It is their money.

Sorta like the big flap about a Taco chain in Texas taking pesos. Who gives a rats a$$. The can take shiny beads for all I care.

Hehe illegal gets booted, they get money

I hate BoA because they arrest customers who ask if a check they received is real or not after telling him that it is real, when they knew it was fake.

I could not believe it. What is this country coming too. I walked into a pizza shop the other day and the cashier asked for my SSN card as he was grumbling something under his breath about B of A and I just said WTF and walked out the door.

I think the point is that they are discriminating agasinst citizens. Why do I have to give my SSN? I don't want to. Other people don't have to. Why do I?
