Hahaha - funniest meme I've seen in a very long time!
HSBC really are some characters.
First they cooperate with Latin American drug cartels to launder money, and get fined
$1.9 billion dollars.Then they all of a sudden restrict withdrawal of cash for ordinary customers, because they want to 'combat' money laundering. And not only that, they want to ask you what you're going to use the money for. How on earth is that the banks business?
Spread this information everywhere, and please stop using that bank if you can. Money is the only language such criminal organizations understand, so remove it from them and they will listen.
But the bad thing is that people are blind sheep, so they will dumbly continue to use their HSBC accounts, and accept whatever restrictions the bank decides.
It's so funny - trying to restrict money laundering and crime by restricting the flow of paper money. Like crime will stop to exist if all payments were digital... Dream on.
And this is symptomatic of society and the world of today, we're constantly treating the symptoms and not the root cause. The root cause is people turning into criminals, and that can often be followed back to a bad upbringing, bad environment etc.
If a kid has loving parents, learns proper values, gets support and opportunities in life, the chance of that kid turning into a criminal is very low. That's how we'd change the world, to change society and the values that are important.
Trying to stop financial and other crime by imposing restrictions to prevent money laundering, is like trying to prevent water from flowing out of your bath tub by using your hand blocking the open drain.
This world knows no end to all the mind-blowing silliness that exist. If there are aliens, they must really laugh their asses of observing our foolish ways.
And the most perfect thing of it all. Complain to a desk clerk at HSBC about the money laundering charges and their involvement with the narcs cartels, I'm pretty sure you will only get a dumbfounded blank stare in return. Tell the clerk you're going to shut down your account and only use bitcoin, and he might as well call security on you because then you're for certain up to absolutely no good!!!
