This Bitcoin things getting way out of hand, better put on more pressure on the branches to close the accounts of these exchange sites.... and unleash a hydra.
It gets to be diminishing returns.
Like when Dwolla enacted the 30-day probation before transfers could be made to Mt. Gox and other Bitcoin exchanges the result was the "Dwolla <--> Mt. Gox" thread in which person-to-person trading between forum users absorbed much of that demand from those with less than the thirty days. Then Dwolla proceeded to try to figure out which of their customers were performing these person-to-person trades and extend the "high risk merchant" status to those accounts. It is kind of like whack-a-mole.
So banks close the accounts for Bitfloor,
Bitcoin-To-Cash, Bitspend, etc. but at the same time they operate account-to-account (A2A) transfer methods which facilitates person-to-person trading of Bitcoins via the banking system:
