It is these kind of actions which lead people to Bitcoin.
Score another point for the Bitcoin community.

What a crock of shit, they're doing this cause the dealers involved are under the microscope with a million eyes on them and they're unable to fix the game like they usually do. "they" decide who wins and who loses and get infuriated by anybody who gets ahead without sucking their cocks.

This guy is a legend and he has made so much money that his bank wants to take it all lol. If only he was aware about Bitcoin, he could be playing for Bitcoin and dealing with his own money gains directly instead of thought banks.

Apparently Bank of America no longer wants my business. They are closing all my accounts because I put too much money in them from poker???

The "Thought" Banks have been stealing my ideas for years
My doctor said it was NOT schizophrenia but the US govt. doing mind control maybe.
Google search "USA gwen towers"
That is how the thought banks get you !
And no joke tinfoil hats actually do work at blocking the transmissions.
There is a wide assortment of items you can buy such as reflective paint or led blankets for your bed etc.

Bank is scam, use bitcoin now

Getting a bank to close your account is very bad for your credit rating. It could prevent you from getting a mortgage. Don't think it matters for Negreanu but it hurts people's credit.

Why banks want to decide about the money of the people? That's why I love bitcoin, no one must decide of my money ! Anyway, Daniel will surely find another bank, that's only a question of time

Yeah, tell him not to use Coinbase to sell any of his bitcoins, as they'll close his account 10 times faster than any commercial bank. He'd have to join one of those risky foreign exchanges or Cryptsy and hope he gets his money out, or else he could try to deal with someone here and hope he doesn't get scammed.Quote

Yeah, he should probably just find a new bank.

This guy is a legend and he has made so much money that his bank wants to take it all lol. If only he was aware about Bitcoin, he could be playing for Bitcoin and dealing with his own money gains directly instead of thought banks.
But if he played with Bitcoin, he would not be as famous as he is (which strongly contributes to his wealth). I mean, Pokerstars does not accept BTC as far as I know (nor they have plans of doing it).
Also, he can easily move to another bank. Even if they were to take his money, unless he did/is doing something illegal, he could easily sue them (and such a big company would not want to ruin its reputation for a few millions).
It's not the bank, it's the government, keeping people's money is what banks do, all money is good money for them, unless the government says otherwise.
Negreanu plays poker since before bitcoin was created, plus there's no bitcoin poker for his league...
True, DN is a professional, unfortunately, there isn't a tournament worth his time in Bitcoin, this only means that someone should start planning a huge poker tournament for Bitcoin to get the big names involved, so poker in Bitcoin is not only amateurs do but having big names in the game will give us a ton of publicity too, ideally will avoid stuff like this in the future (even tho the IRS will still ask for their Bitcoins to be taxed, but they can just steal them from you if they get paid directly in personal addresses).
Maybe but many poker players are already very aware of bitcoin, if you got to twoplustwo poker forums some huge topics on bitcoin are there. What we need to do is push pokerstars to work with bitcoin but the problem is they will keep games in fiat likely which is no good.
The next choice is to build something amazing for bitcoin poker which players cant resist but i think its best we just firstly push pokerstars on bitcoin, then push them to offer some bitcoin games without fiat conversion.
There are some pretty big games for Bitcoin on the Winning Poker Network (WPN) that are open to US citizens.
It is strange that BoA locked Negreanu's accounts because poker is legal in the United States...online wire transfers to "known" gambling sites are not legal for US BANKS to "process" but still perfectly legal for Negreanu. When the banks realize that the money is going to a "known" gambling site, they just block the site....not freeze the personal account. It is very strange to be sure!

That's crazy. Of course they won't take the funds but they are making a statement that they won't deal with gamblers, even legitimate ones.
Negreanu is one of the main faces of Poker and for them to slight him like this is huge imo. Glad I don't bank at BoA.

sad, of course, to hear that sometimes the business of life, relatively speaking, transformed in an instant into ashes, and what appeared to be far ahead, in your hands, but alas, nothing is forever, but nothing to break the mood and pain to be turned into exhaustion, legend , already has a legend...
December 23, 2015, 01:52:21 PM
There`s got te be more reasons why bank did such thing to him. If its just cause he put a lot of money in bank then its hard for me to believe. And its written frozen, maybe there is some other reason for that.
Anyway I will agree with op. Put your money where u can control it and u will not have this kind of problems.

imo bank can be mafia cause it is centralized, not like bitcoin, he won't trust bank in the future, i think he may use bitcoin asap.

The bank definitely wants out of the "bad" reputation Negreanu is sending them. That if there's no more than meets the eye, many sports stars had a lot of trouble with the law and tax evasion and I won't be surprised if some of that is what's actually going on.
December 23, 2015, 01:28:35 PM
Or maybe he pissed off a BoA executive by taking a boatload of money off him with a suckout/bad beat in a private high stakes poker game.
December 23, 2015, 01:23:24 PM
Probably the bank is uneasy with the origin of the money stored in his accounts which is gambling lol. By the way even Coinbase will shut down your account if they find out you are gambling through it.
coinbase the only bitcoin wallet blocked gambling activities, the rest are very welcome. so bitcoin still a freedom of everything.
in this case, bank of america wouldn't care if you are a poker player or addicted gambler i think,
because they are only care about blocked gaming transaction right?
