Daniel Negreanu, who has earned over $32 million from live tournaments during his career, announced recently on Twitter that he is having some major problems with Bank of America.

According to Negreanu, Bank of America (one of the biggest banks in the United States) will be closing all of his accounts, since he has deposited too much poker-related money in them.

It seems Negreanu is not the only poker pro who has had problems with the Bank of America, as Doug Polk revealed, that he had a substantial amount frozen 1,5 years ago for 2 months:

Why would they not want his poker earned money on their bank????

Bank of America sub par bank at the most. Ive had trouble with them as a vendor I had to tell my customers that I would not and could not except there checks. They charged me for every one of there checks i cashed for my business which devalued the USD to the point it just wasnt worth it. It made a lot of people upset and all the other vendors in my business follow suit. I was thankful my customers understood about the problem after I explained what was going on. Because if i kept using Bank of America I would have to charge more for my product. This was 15 years back. Bank of
America can go kick rocks!

thought it would have been the opposite if an unknown starts depositing millions of dollars in an account surely that will raise more suspicions i.e. trafficking, drugdealing, terrorism etc

They, and other banks, can do this because Republicans (mostly) are afraid to regulate the banks.

I banked with BOA, while I was still with pokerstars.. I was allowed my cashout of Black Friday. I hope Dan gets his money. I always wondered how he still played. Is it because he is Canadian Citizenship?

Wow, funny parody of a bank letter, which had me going about halfway thru. If you're not attracting the feds, you probably won't get your accounts flagged.

Many banks here in Nevada have policies against depositing winnings from gaming. I bank at B of A and have been asked on 2 occasions if the deposits I were making were from Casino winnings.

I always tell them the same thing, the money is from my gold prospecting and show them my GPAA ID. Gold Prospecting Association of America.
