I will try to keep this post updated with the large banks that doesn't behave well. This list could be used as an argumentative point, when somebody rejects to do business with you, because you're involved with bitcoins. And because bitcoins could be used for unethical purposes. Extending that line of thought, the same institutions should stop to cooperate with at least these banks: Standard Chartered - Hid $250 billion worth of Iranian client transactions that were carried out over ten yearsBarclays - The Barclays rate-fixing scandalHSBC - Drug money laundering, financing terrorism, moved money to Iran, facing 640 million pund fine.ING Bank - And in June ING Bank was fined $619 million for its role in processing $1.6 billion through the US financial system for Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, Sudan and Libya.Deutche Bank - Germany’s biggest bank, was ordered to pay 15 million euros ($19.7 million) in a lawsuit over a currency option product it sold to a client.

I think you'll find that the claimed Standard Chartered figure is $250 billion, not million (3 orders of magnitude difference).

Thanks for the warning. I have an idea, should there be a site, like tripadvisor, but only for banks ? So the customers could see which banks to use, and which to avoid.

Did you use the card for any illegal stuff? Did you buy it yourself or did someone else do it for you? I've had an account there for a few years without (bigger) problems and got two cards.

Why is trading with the Iranians "behaving badly"? I hope your answer is better than "it would upset Uncle Sam and the parasites that control it". Good for SC for giving them the finger.

Trading with Iran is against Zionists interests. It is just "normal" that the only truth in the world is what Israel and US together with their sock puppet countries in Western Europe say, if you stand in there way, better watch out your back. They will find a lot of different reasons to accuse you, e.g. you are a terrorist, you are an extremist, you have a nuclear weapon in your possession, you are against some UN law or directive and many others... I think Standard Chartered will not get away so easily with showing the finger. Edit: Well prepared video, explaining purpose of sanctions to Iran and US international politic towards Middle East in a nutshell.

We cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
