picklish Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hopefully this will signal boost my manifesto promise to abolish (it will be worded 'illegalise') banks and replace them with credit unions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I worked for a chap who had his account closed. He operated as a sole trader, I suppose they thought he was going to go bust, but he never really mentioned the reason. He got another bank without too much bother, as I recall it - this was before I worked for him. He did go bust eventually, about 25 odd years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sources of funds from sanctioned countries or countries with notoriously poor money laundering controls are probably the issue here. Maybe he's still on a retainer from Russia Today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely would've been when he was an MEP, but I am not sure now. He holds no political office and hasn't been appointed to any State body or similar, although how long his former standing as an MEP might impact for, I don't know. Not something I saw too much of, so I only really know the basics of it. Sanctions and AML controls, I unfortunately know more than I cared to about. A two-week long nightmare sorting stuff out so that a very small piece of work could be delivered to a certain country that likes to invade its neighbours. And this was work being delivered to the firm in that country! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Haven't heard of PEPs before but it all sounds expensive and a hassle for the banks, it's not surprising if they'd want to offload them unless they're especially profitable accounts. https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/topics/anti-money-laundering/peps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Maybe someone can refresh my memory, but wasn’t one of the un-talked about reasons that certain people were possibly pushing for Brexit, was that the EU were going to introduce tougher anti money laundering regulations? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you write 'mhovement' on another post in the politics forum and hide the team you support (on a football forum)?

Suspect Device Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It would be a worrying development that people could have banking facilities removed because of their politics. But I don't believe that is why it is happening. If it is even happening. He's a lying c**t and this will probably be another lie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
