Most likely they might have broken a state or local anti-discrimination law that covers politics if the followed through with that action.
Possibly. Maybe some overly-political employee did it and legal were not happy at all.
Hell no for high profile accounts you'd need quite a few approvals in order to pull an account.
Lots of people signed off on this but I'm sure they'll blame it on a rogue agent now.
This is the problem with genuine systemic discrimination.
You have no idea where to even begin fighting this. You can't operate in a society when dozens of people in every strata are prepared to violate every law and taboo to fuck with you.
Imagine trying to buy groceries at Walmart... the moment you pull into the parking lot, every single employee is making it their job to fuck with you.
It's physically impossible for someone to shop at WalMart under these conditions.
But you don't even need to do that. You just need one person to be ideologically possessed to cause you pretty annoying, to severe problems. If there's even 2, let alone 3, the problem gets exponentially worse.
Active Self Protection on YouTube has a good phrase about this. As the number of attackers linearly increases, the difficulty exponentially grows. 1 attacker is as hard. 2 attackers is twice as hard as one. 3 attackers is four times as hard. 4 attackers is eight times as hard. 5 attackers is sixteen times as hard as 1.
Leftism is a philosophy of war, so the tactical analysis works exactly the same. These are people who are attacking you. Maybe not physically, but they've made it your job to make your life a living hell. One bad manager, stockboy, or greeter is a hassle. But when you've got two or more working together; you're actually in real danger of being physically assaulted, or even arrested
How many people at Chase Bank (JP Morgan Chase, unironically) want a piece of Flynn. Honestly: probably hundreds. It is a Leftist, Globalist, Financial organization. Many in managerial positions. It's not just that some one person was pushing for this, there's probably dozens of people behind the scene trying to make his life hell. I'd bet money he's also experienced missing funds, account errors, incorrect transactions, delayed activities, frozen funds, etc. I'd bet money they've already given someone his account statements and transaction history.
The law falls silent in times of war, and Flynn is an enemy in a time of war. Laws don't apply to him.
Genuinely:
"Where's my $10,000 deposit?"
"We don't have any record of that, sir! Tee-hee!" 😉
It's also possible that while it might not be against any discrimination law, the legal told them to not allow General Flynn to take it to a court for a judge to decide if it did or not because then they would be on the hook for this and possibly many other account closures.
Additionally other payment processors could have gotten on their case because if precedent was set then places like Paypal and other banks would now be forbidden from doing that to anyone.
Sort of like if Burger King was going to do something big and then Jack in the Box, Wendy's and McDonalds came to them and told them not to because it could hurt all of their businesses in the future.
We all know places like that collude with one another so the idea that if one was going to screw up in a way that affected them they'd step in and try to get them to stop.
What did Burger King try to do? I'm out of the loop.
It's a hypothetical
I wonder if it's because he's a much more public and well connected figure.
When other institutions do it to random right wingers they lose it for good and usually don't have the funds to attempt legal action, even if it's clear they broke no agreements and they were banned out of pure maliciousness.
So, not just the OnlyThots can win against the banks.
Maybe the people who want OnlyThots gone should complain to their card companies - do we know who gave them their second chance?
OnlyFans was never about commercial banking, this is parroted over and over and is entirely inaccurate.
OnlyFans was trying to sell itself to Investment Banks - these are not consumer banks. It had nothing to do with payment processing, personal purchases, or lending. It was preparing one business to sell to an investment bank.
You have always been able to purchase adult material via commercial banking.

Please notice they also reject the idea that Mastercard is behind it - because Mastercard is their ally.
This is why I'm buying gold and silver. Not (only) because of the inflation I expect, but because these assholes shouldn't have your money. Be your own bank.
I'm also buying gold and silver. Physical bars or the trust ETFs?
When too many autists bought gamestop, the government stepped in, flipped "circuit-breakers", and they told Robinhood to insure 300% worth of the purchases or they'd basically lose all of their ability to trade on all US stock exchanges.
Robinhood didn't have an extra hundred million dollars lying around, so they went into huge debt to pay for what they already had, and started selling people's stock.
JP Morgan Chase has been operating a criminal racket in the silver commodity exchange for over a decade. They've actually been repeatedly prosecuted, and it hasn't stopped them. The largest investment banks on Earth are manipulating the precious metals market.
In 1933, after having capped gold at a specific price, FDR ordered all US gold bullion and gold to be turned in, or face 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. A few years later, they upped the price of gold so everyone who turned their gold in lost most of that wealth. Congress passed a law turning executive order into a law, and criminalized the private ownership of gold and silver coins & bullion until Gerald Ford decided that it was silly. People were serving up to 15 years in prison for owning physical gold.
Now, ask yourself, "Would the response to a run on gold & silver be worse than Gamestop? How aggressive do I think the largest international investment banks in the world will be if there's a rush into gold/silver? Will the government side with them in a heart-beat and tell me and my ETF investment to eat-shit-and-die? Would the government be prepared to violate the law to protect the investment banks? Would they be prepared to kill?"
If the answer is yes, I'd suggest having some physical stuff around. I don't trust ETFs. Dude, I don't even trust crypto. I expect that to be criminalized.
As a shorter-term investment (say 5 years) gold and silver are only good investments if you are careful, and stuff like Vault Gold might be a good idea.
But me? I'm paranoid. I bought my friends constitutional silver.
You know why?
Because Australia already has a ban in place of anyone using their credit cards outside of quarantined zones. I want silver quarters so they can buy gas if they come to visit me outside the quarantine zone while ye olde "Operation Chokepoint" remains in effect.
The most profitable decision would probably be in crypto, and maybe some vault gold as a back-up because premiums could be high.
But I'm making the most defensive decision. I'm protecting my purchasing power, I don't care if it's not optimal, it's probably better off as a metal than as a fucking number in my bank account.
Dude, I bought copper. I bought 5 oz copper coins because I know that in a monetary disaster, poor people: wouldn't have gold to trade, don't know how to value silver, but do understand copper as a poor man's metal. I've watched people steal it. I would be trading that with fucking fire-wood and toilet paper... just in case. That's not an investment, it's reactionary. I'm thinking defensively. Maybe not even appropriately, but defensively.
I'd say consider your own analysis. Think about a plan for what you intend to do with that stuff. Figure out an exit strategy. Think: "I plan to hold onto this for 10 years, what will that look like?"
I should have done it myself, but in March of last year, it really looked like I was out of time.
Agreed. Close every account and do it quickly before money goes missing.
Maybe even do it surreptitiously so that they don't know he's closing accounts.
What. The. Fuck.
Reinstates!?!??!?!
Chase fucked with the wrong man. This retired general has 200k + following him directly on telegram and sharing this story.
Dude has a literal army of (his words) digital soldiers.
Chase got schlonged and it was glorious.
Cheesy saying used often by dumb people, but in this case, the people really do have the power!
Chase is owned by JP Morgan Chase.
Chase probably just didn't want to be annoyed by him on Twitter.
If they wanted to, they could zero his account out, tell him to take them to federal court, and they would win. There's just no need for them to fight that battle.
banks should have no rights
