France: Bank BNP Parisbas closing accounts after big money transfer

[junoreactor]

Hi folks,

first of all, to admins and mods, I am not sure in which section of the forum this story belongs, but I believe it is important to share it. If this topic belongs to a different selection, I apologize and please you to move it.
This story is told by lunokhod2 on reddit. There is the same post in the French section on this forum but I thought the English version would get more reads, so here it is.

Basically, the guy gets his bank account closed by BPN Parisbas after a big transaction (pretty sure it is in France). He did not say the amount but I am assuming 6 figures would cause such decision.

Discuss.

*I have to bump the thread*

Apparently, there is a legal void regarding cryptos in France. Which means in a case like this one, banks are free to kick out their customers without having to justify it. Or they would say: we combat money laundering and this is a suspicious case. But in the story above, the guy apparently provided all proofs required by bank regarding his investments into cryptos. And they still decided to close his account.
This does not sound good at all for cryptos users located in France. I would be him, I would just move to Malta and enjoy the climate and life from there.
