RE: My Bank Accounts Were Hacked and Drained - by my Own Bank

in #bitcoin6 years ago

I'm afraid I don't have a positive experience to share. That's a terrible thing that happened to you though. In Jan. 2018 My Brother, Mike and I started our blockchain business and registered our business entity as an LLC. In the state of Nevada. One of the first Crypto Friendly states. That's why we have Pioneers that call Lad Vegas home. Such as Michael Turpin, Jim Blasko, Kingsley Edwards, Morgan Rockwell, to name a few. We then did the Next step one would do when starting a business. Open a business account at a bank. Just part of the process. So wet proceed first to Wells Fargo. They are "crypto friendly innovators". Far from it. We have all our documents, EIN, business license, everything. Five minutes after explaining what kind of business we are starting, they start playing musical managers on us. Where each of the three managers on duty woukd take turns stalling for time and asking questions while pretending to fill out our application while the others were handing a phone of to one another and Just listening. I don't know who they were speaking to but each time one of them came back they were madder and madder. They eventually shuffled us out the front door like we were criminals. Needless to say, we were very discouraged heading to the next bank. This was a credit union, surlely they would be better. Nope. Apparently, having a legal business built on blockchain technology(not even bitcoin related, by the way) is illegal. I feel your pain my man. There was an article published about our struggle but I'm kinda new here and don't know the ettiquette of posting links. There's our story.

That insane! Great story, thanks for sharing. But I'm sorry it happened.
