Reminds me of my story: I met a girl in Mexico and decided to quit my job and move in with her. Since I couldn't open a bank in Mexico, I decided I'd just wire the girl all my money. Except upon trying my bank (of America) froze my account and took around 3 months to unfreeze, of which time I had access to absolutely no money.

It's kind of why I find it funny in all the crypto threads watching people here idolize the current financial system. Yet at a whim or some internal AML flag they can effectively trash your life giving you effectively no recourse.

Hang on, how long after you met her did you quit your job and move in with her?
