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.
