RE: All my money got confiscated! [Why we need decentralization]
It has happened to me before too - an inquiry from the tax office in another country about a client's large transfer and the bank froze my account at their request for weeks and weeks. Horrible. It was resolved and I eventually got the transfer but no compensation for the serious problems it caused, nor the loss of business while I had no access to cash. Have had it with PayPal too. Yes. more posts please about changes to the global monetary system and how to navigate stormy waters.
Yes, it's happened with Paypal, too, in the past, but only for payments, not my whole account.
You're in Chiang Mai!! What a pity we didn't meet when I was just there.
Are there any other Chiang Mai Steemians here? I've only met nomadicsoul and suzanevolves but both of them are not in Chiang Mai anymore now I think.
Hope to come back soon! :)
LOTS of steemians here in Chiang Mai, and growing. @kenistyles hosts an active steemit mastermind group, and we have a lot of leadership support from @sourceoftruth too. Coffee when you are back this way. :)
Chase bank did the same to me back in 2012 and it was because I was receiving checks from adult industry companies. I mean what does that matter right? I was never able to reclaim my funds. Anyway the silver lining for me was getting into crypto early. Begging producers to pay me in crypto was tough but also worth it to help others learn about it back then.
They also did the same to my partner because we were traveling for 2 years overseas and didn't submit tax info so they clamped her account too. We both know the terrible feeling you have right now and here's to them releasing your funds asap! Then get as far away from them as possible please! They clearly can not be trusted when our lives depend on access to our funds..
Heartfelt positive vibes from Chiang Mai 💗
