But those same banks gladly took tax dollars from the same companies.

They are doing the same with companies that sell tobacco products over the internet.

And it's not just loans. It's also credit card clearing. In effect, they can't accept credit cards.

The justice department is concerned about illegal/fraudulent gun businesses? That’s funny. Maybe they’re trying to squeeze out their competition.

Just imagine trying to get the banks to drop as clients all of the consumers of porn.

Did you read this one from this morning?

With everything moving to electronic it is starting to look grim for any who don’t walk lockstep with the powers that be. No trade and no money for you.
Seems I read about this somewhere...

This started with government pressure against Wikileaks.

Banks should stop cashing checks from the government?

Next step, investigate them for tax evasion, since “all cash businesses” are suspicious by nature.

if a business appears to be 'at risk' of being a fraudulently run organization or deceitful in it's structure, as with a ponzi scheme, the vulnerable consumer will be taken advantage of.This is typical of organized crime, just as the criminal gangs of prohibition would battle to keep their "territory," the #1 purveyor of ponzi schemes, the federal leviathan, will not tolerate any competition on their turf, and will eliminate all competition.

Actually it started with the “know your customer” bank regulations passed in the wake of 9/11/01. That required banks to start asking lots of questions about their customers, especially businesses, and report anything “suspicious” to Feds. One of the guidelines for “suspicious” behavior is a business that does most of it’s transactions in cash.

This sounds a lot like “red-lining”, which was determined to be illegal.......by the government, no less.
