I don't bank with BoA but, I'm not all that excited about what BoA is or has done reference it's customer's banking transaction around the Protest in DC time frame. To me, it doesn't matter which side of the issue a person is on, unless BoA is served with a warrant, my banking information is private. Apparently, BoA doesn't agree with my position. https://rumble.com/vdlc3b-tucker-carlson-airs-stunning-report-on-bofa-giving-customer-data-to-feds.htmlRams |

I saw this yesterday. So, if you bought a coffee in D.C. during that time period, you're now being scrutinized?

I had a lot of money (for me anyway) tied up with BoA about 15 years ago. For about 6 months. Had a credit card fraud problem. Closed all my accounts (checking, savings, credit card, 2nd mortgage, IRA) and haven't looked back. I had to deal with them after a friends death 4-5 years ago. They were nothing but a pain in the ass even though I had more than the needed legal documents. The attorney said I shouldn't feel special, they that everyone that way. The only person I've heard say anything good or neutral about them is my brother. But he's never done anything through them other than write checks. I'll put my money under my mattress before I do business with them again.

There was no warrant (only a request). All banks could/should and have every right to request one (or a subpoena).
What they did was purely voluntary and not illegal per their customer agreements (or they'd get sued plenty).
But it demonstrates a complete lack of customer loyalty or support. Customers should act accordingly.
If a govt agency asks a bank to violate customer privacy and they do, the fault is not the govt agency for asking.
I have done no business with any mainstream banks since one cancelled my only credit card while serving remotely overseas in the military (where it was not accepted anywhere) for non use, and didn't bother to even tell me (while still facially valid). I found out after I did use it (TDY elsewhere in Europe when I needed a bed/room badly) and was rejected. I thanked them for supporting the military, and got no reply.
I once walked into a military credit union right outside our gate in uniform. I told the manager we were investigating a member for abusing blanket travel orders by taking partial travel advances for TDY trips he never took, pocketing the cash, and never closing those travel pay vouchers out. I understood that he had been having trouble with this credit union with multiple overdrafts on his accounts (and we were pretty sure he was covering his overdrafts with his fraudulent travel advances). I showed the manager my paperwork proving an ongoing investigation. I asked if I could have a copy of this member's credit union records for the instigation. I told him I could get a subpoena or warrant if he wanted one. He said it wouldn't be necessary. Both the USAF and the credit union were being scammed. Predictably, there were multiple days when he had drawn travel advance cash and walked the money over to the credit union to pay off his overdrafts.
This is not the same as a bank doing a fishing expedition on thousands of customer accounts.

Do you think they would have been so quick to comply had it been Trump's DOJ?

I agree, they should have.

Has BoA done this in Portland, and other cities were the rioters have been. I doubt it.
