This is a big hit to US traders for sure, but there are other ways of transferring money (albeit not as convenient).

Dwolla was basically free and worked quite fast. International bank transfer took a bit longer but every transfer cost me about 50 dollars in fees. Luckily I got my money out before this. I feel sorry for the people way back in the queue.

I don't blame Dwolla for this at all, but I am tempted to close my account with them to telegraph that I want my financial tools to push back on these kinds of things.

Especially considering how much BTC-related money is flowing through Dwolla... it probably makes up a significant portion of their revenue. I have to imagine this is bad news for them as well.

What do you think Dwolla should do when given validly formed court orders?

Which particular Dwolla employee do you think should spend time in jail for contempt of court to satisfy your need for them to push back?

I want them to take their lobbyists, and go to Washington like they already do, and tell Congress to stop harassing their fucking customers.
