    >> Andreessen...said...to destroy political opponents, tech founders, and the crypto community..."30 tech founders were secretly debanked."...

    What 30 tech founders were secretly debanked in the last 4 years? Is this covered somewhere?

    Is it impossible to know if it was done secretly and they didn't want it publicized?

    I can't tell if this remark is about the SVB run [0], or, separately, about individuals having their accounts frozen/shutdown for political/ideological reasons?

    If what he said in the interview is true, then I fear for privacy, freedom and human rights in the West and the USA specifically.

      The EU has right to the basic bank account. The similar right does not exist in the UK, US or anywhere for companies. The EU plans to have right to corporate bank account in the upcoming PSD3.

      However banks still can kick anyone out based on unspecified anti-money laundering suspicions (not need to be proven) and the customer cannot dispute.

      Whoever controlls the drones and ai will controll everyone. While everyone is distracted and divided by different agendas and propaganda, someone outfits drones with military equipment and tear gas.
