My credit union said that my funds couldnt be transferred because it was deemed a risky transfer... This is bullshit(pardon my french) they didn't even give me notice, I had to go to the bank and raise hell for them to credit my bank account back. Do you guys know of a bank that will let me transfer $5000 to bitstamp without a problem?
I'm not surprised. People always find out the hard way. Money deposited in a bank, any bank, is no longer your money. The State and/or the bank can, merely at their will, seize your money or control what you can do with it.
If the money is the bank's possession, it is no longer your money.
My advice is to never let the bank know what you are doing with your money (assuming, of course, you still want a bank account). In other words, if you are going to buy bitcoins, take cash out of the bank and buy them locally from localbitcoins or similar sites. This way the bank has no idea what you are doing with the cash withdrawal.
This way the government does not know you are buying Bitcoin.
All banks are, more or less, the same. Forget about looking for a better bank.
