LOL. This is a clickbait for Remitano.com hahaha. Referral link of the OP is there. Didn't find the reddit link in the article so I guess this is just a way to promote his link in the forum. I don't know if this is true but they are hundreds of trading platform exchanges that requires some form of bank information to link to their account and I haven't heard anyone complaining about some bank manager calling and flagging their accounts because it is like to a bitcoin exchanges.

I agree, since when i do clicked on the link it shows just referral link he just redirected the the issue and i cant find the reddit link which i can really considered as a click bait. If this thing is true or not then it would really be a sad thing for that man have been closed his account because he bought bitcoin and been flagged his account because of such activity. This is the first time i do heard out such thing though.

This news is very similar to fake. Most likely it is the other Bank. I have not heard one more similar case. And you? Theoretically, it is possible in the future if you start a war on banks with bitcoins. Then you may have to work through Japanese banks, but it would be better if you can pay for goods directly in bitcoin.

If he was regularly buying Bitcoin then the bank did nothing wrong and the banks was just following rules/regulations/laws. You can't use your personal account for running your business, no matter if it is about Bitcoin or selling sex toys. It is forbidden in almost all countries. A business needs to use a business bank account.
