  • I don’t disagree with anything that you said, but where is the line? For banks being liable for criminal activity, I believe they would need to be facilitating payment of the “criminal activity” in your example of dispensaries. But the owner of the dispensary likely still has a personal bank account.

    With Epstein, it’s highly unlikely that his billions in assets were all used to facilitate his awful sex crimes.

    My question isn’t about enabling atrocities, but more about where the line should be drawn to prevent largely innocent people from harm. Obviously, fuck Epstein and his enablers.



  • Initially, the headline upset me that the greed of these banks enabled him. But then I started thinking: do we want banks to sever ties with people based on a criminal status? What if someone is arrested for something dumb like pot, the bank closes their accounts, and now they can’t pay their bills?

    Fuck Epstein and everyone that enabled him to be a monster, and I’m sure greed was involved with the banks continuing to do business with him, but I’m also not so sure what’s correct here.
