This made me angry just reading it. Nobody should be obligated to tell ANYONE what they want to spend their own money on. What are they going to do, deny the withdrawal if it isn't a 'good enough reason'. How about, 'because I don't trust you with my money'. Wonder how that would have gone down.

I prefer the "your mum" approach when they ask you what you're going to be spending it on  Grin.

Max Keiser says this is reminiscent of Northern Rock.  The bank that failed.
He has been saying for a while now, HSBC is insolvent.

Why is this "off-topic"?  This is good news for Bitcoin.  Another bank could be about to fall.



HSBC is a massive bank so I don't think it'll go the way of Northern Rock, but it is a warning sign that banks can do whatever they want with your money.

Some HSBC customers have been prevented from withdrawing large amounts of cash because they could not provide evidence of why they wanted it, the BBC has learnt.

That is why we need bitcoin

4000£ a large withdrawal lol, it isn't even enough to buy a proper oled tv  Cheesy

Wtf, why do you need to tell your bank what you want to spend your OWN MONEY on? If they'd've asked me I'd've just told them "your mum" Grin. And people shouldn't be banking with HSBC anyway.
