@graf@j@Suzu@phnt@Do It works because most people, when they find out they owed the bank money, will send a check. The bank has to send you your balance (by statute), but they don't mind getting a free temporary loan until you cash the check.
Then Obama had this (driven by Secretary of State Clinton, because she's been part of the war on cash since the 90s, plus all of her cozying up to banks, because she is a psychopath) push to get the "under-banked" people into the System. So people that never have a monthly average above the minimum balance are now paying rent on their no-money to one of the four megabanks. (See also Obama's DOJ trying to fuck over cash-based businesses under the guise of stopping "money-laundering by organized crime", and this is why there's no more CoinStar at the grocery store: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Choke_Point . Then compare "freezing bank accounts for 'racist materials' or 'pornography'" with their response to the HSBC cartel money-laundering scandal. There is a good reason these people hate Trump.) I think even Dark Jeff would be able to acknowledge that the 'rona was used as an excuse to push hard for various agendas that have nothing to do with coofing, like all business suddenly no longer accepting cash. ...Then Bezos moves his HQ to DC.
So, people that don't have enough money to need a bank account are pushed into it, and they're paying $15-35/month because they never meet the minimum balance, they're paying overdraft fees, they're getting nothing for it. They don't even know how a bank account works, apparently. "Free money glitches".
Of course, being outside the grasp of the surveillance state and not sharecropping for the World Bank is unpopular with the WEF also, if you read between Yuval Noah Harari's lines:
> When I look at Bitcoin, as a historian, I don't like it because this is a money built on distrust. We don't trust the banks, the governments, so we don't want to give them the ability to create as much money as they like, so we create this Bitcoin.
@p@Suzu@phnt basically you just put random shit for who the check is from. Deposit it at ATM and it'll make the funds available immediately. Withdrawal your money and close your account so they can't do anything about it. Go to the nearest payday loan service and stack bread on bread. :bread_nom: Then you put all your cash on your bed, take a picture of it on your new iPhone, and post it to Instagram and Facebook.
:finkwat: Seize his assets! 👮 Let's see...he has some rims he's underwater on attached to a 2007 Ford Focus, a stereo that doesn't work because someone spilled malt liquor on it, a shit ton of Polo, some pristine Jordans, and a bunch of bongs and glass pipes completely caked with resin...there are some empty 151 bottles. We could get maybe $30 at an asset seizure auction. :finkthink: We're still $39,970 short... 👮 Iono man, I just work here. rockfordfosgate.gif
@graf@Do@Suzu@j@phnt I'm not exaggerating about the rims. You listen to the talk radio station here, it's all erectile dysfunction, cures for baldness, plastic surgery, copper repiping, driveways: boomer shit for people that have houses but their dicks don't work. You put on Power 106 ("Where hip-hop lives") and the ads are bail bonds ("Alladin Bail Bonds: 'Cause your mama want you home") and companies that will (I shit you not) finance your rims.
@graf@Suzu@phnt@p@Do You'd think. That's why you can't do it online. Closing it with a check pending has to be done in person. Nogs were literally lined up out the door at some locations. d3a4ae7a08f7e11755655e4a7fb539d2.mp4
