Yeah i have to agree, banks shouldn't even have the option to just decide to process the money.
Business should not facilitate crime. It’s illegal, as well as immoral.
Private companies should not be independent judges with enforcement powers.
They have no problem censoring legal NSFW content. But when it comes to actual crimes, laissez faire.
They're not independent judges, they have guidelines and tools for illegal practices. They ignore those for rich friends. They ignore them for people that pay them a lot, but they still get in trouble for facilitating money laundering every now and again when those people aren't connected enough.
