Citibank Cancels Bank Account of Objectionable Blogger 265
Keith found this story about Citibank blocking a website's bank account after deciding that the site's blog contained questionable content. I guess it's up to a bank to decide whom to do business with, but this is pretty crazy.

Bank does something inexplicable and/or dumb. Film at 11. They already unblocked the account and are doing a "review" of the site apparently. This will probably amount to nothing and they'll simply leave the account open. Wake me if something interesting happens.
Wake you? No, I think we would rather draw a mustache on your face and put your hand in a bowl of warm water.

Actual evidence need not apply.
All to often the act of dragging reality, kicking and screaming, into any online discussion is treated as sinful as actually paying for media content or liking a Microsoft product.

These are my rules of a bank that I will not have business with:
These are all highly immoral and in my eyes illegal concepts.
Which is why I will found my own gold/silver-based currency and bank for my big game project, and legally allow using it outside of the game. (But will disallow any of the above behaviors.)
