Sometimes I think the Kochs are just straight up fucking with us. I don't think they're just trying to control the government, they trying to drive us all insane.

So some gutless department (the letter is signed by "Customer Service") scours their customer base for recognizable names...?

New start-ups in the industry are going to have to find more creative ways to raise seed money, I guess. Those who are gifted with the most up and coming talent should still make out well though. But if Chase isn't careful, they could wake up one day to find that things have gotten pretty sticky in the end.

"Reputational risk" is their concern. They have no problem with having a reputation for being assholes.

You do have to be careful with investments and withdrawals or you could end up with a real mess on your hands.

On the other hand, Chase is more than willing to accept cash in any denomination that its "customers" slide under its [metaphorical] g-string.

I hope they don't frown upon the fetus recycling business. Clean, renewable fuel.
