Daniel Negreanu: "Bank of America Closing All My Accounts"

[xpvictor1]

Is bank of America professing integrity?

Is bank of America professing integrity? If so I question their motivation because integrity is not a quality of banking institutions.

This is more then likely because of the large sums of money being deposited at irregular intervals.

The banks will freeze the funds, confirm with daniel they they are indeed poker winnings, and then unfreeze the funds. Just gotta make sure he's not trafficking drugs

That is really too bad. What is one to do, carry a duffel bag with all the earnings? I understand tightening the policies, but wouldn't that make certain banks more leveraged in terms of lending potential?

Daniel Negreano is my favorite player and i like because he's wining

almost sounds illegal

That's crazy, sounds almost illegal, like some kind of discrimination. Business is business, you shouldn't be allowed to discriminate, as long as the source is legal.

Banks are under strict goverment controls now, especially after they were all bailed out of the S..t, few years ago, and thus have to open 'ALL' accounts to allow goverment scrutiny.

The only correct assumption with which I agree..)))
And I will add... it's not Negreanu here..This relationship between PS and "government", "intelligence" (or as they call them). Negreanu this to create hype and controversy and creating a tense situation. This is an attempt to put pressure on the PS and to interfere in the privacy policy, under the pretext of "national security"... It is the policy of USA: "we want to know everything about everyone".
Conspiracy theory )))

If i Daniel i invest money in gold and keep it on safe place

Overseas

I agree about it being because where Negreanu is playing since most poker sites like pokerstars aren't available here in the USA under federal law. However U.S. players are still able to set up accounts overseas and I'm sure this is why BOA does monitor poker funds specifically. Although it is definitely absurd anyways cause as we all know now banks like BOA think they are above the law!

Too much Money

Lets ask Daniel to transfer a $1000.00 to everyone who commented on the post. Hopefully that will ease his terrible burden.

[JusThieF]

Stupid thing holding cash at one bank "i mean this amount of money".

 

[AtiFCOD]

It's incredible that it can happen in a bank in USA.
He should just invest his money in flats, houses and make own business eg. a restaurant.

[chubbybuddha]

Same thing happened to me, The Halifax in the UK closed one of my accounts because I put too much money in for poker, not in the bank into online betting, it was money from my overdraft that I hadnt got lol

 

[Prunisoara Cosmin]

[zkel1980]

[SteaknEggz]

why does the rest of the world have it underwear in a bunch over poker...bunch of poker prudes! i hate it!

 

[KillerHurtz]

First world problems.

If Bank Of America does not want his business, I am sure that Capital One would like to take up the slack. Banks are paying crap for interest anyway, might as well be hiding it in a mattress.

I guess that is too much, gambling is illegal yet that doesn't give the Bank of America the right to closed an account. The money is still on the account if they don't want a money from punters then they might have made a prior notice.
