Who opens a bank? People with a lot of money. Credit Unions are a great alternative to mainstream banks. Ergo, maybe the porn industry should start up a Credit Union to by pass all the bullshit. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

Good idea, JB .....an by being the new kid on the block with a proud new sense of inovative ideas to draw new deposiors as well as perhaps create a sane interest rate that'll win the appeal of the masses. ...... I then see your idea, JB, as potentially a historic one.  | |

I think a porn star should be able to manage deposits and withdrawals just as easily at a bank as she does at work. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

I'm surprised they haven't, if only because, like so many other things, they think they won't be taken seriously. And not to toot my own angry horn, but I've previously ranted about how I would trust my money more with pornographers than with big banks. And this isn't some antisemitic conspiratorial bullshit, but genuine anger at how banks are allowed to operate in the U.S., and if they fuck up because they don't know how to run their business sanely then the federal government will always be there to bail them out and ask "Promise not to do it again. Pretty please?" Telling some porn star her account is closed because of "compliance issues" (which sounds like the financial equivalent of "Hey, go fuck yourself!") doesn't seem so out of line considering they seem to run their banks much the same way Tony Montana ran his drug business in "Scarface," though instead of eventually getting shot and killed by his boss' thugs, they get a bailout. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hardcore Commie works." - Gen. Jack D. Rippper, Dr. Stranglove | |

Banks are big on risk management and reputational risk is high on the list of risks. They figure that once the media or politicians get hold of something that makes the bank look bad, account holders will leave in protest or big investors will dump their positions. Many banks have been caught laundering money, pushing bogus investments (like CDOs), and/or engaging in questionable mortgage lending practices. The result is usually a relatively small fine or they get acquired by another big bank. I can see why a bank would deny a pornstar accounts, but don't agree with it. Seems hypocritical to me. Porn happens because a large number of things amazingly fail to go wrong. | |

thirstyfish said, "Many banks have been caught laundering money, pushing bogus investments (like CDOs), and/or engaging in questionable mortgage lending practices. The result is usually a relatively small fine or they get acquired by another big bank." Well some of this statement is correct but should you read Michael Lewis' "The Big Short" you'd see that there were big banks doing the same thing and ...  No One Pays for it cept us.You'd think that NO BANK has a reputations worth shit at this point so adding a porn star account seems like a minor infraction in the politically correct category. Join a credit union - don't support your local crime mob bank.  If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee.If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

Hi JB, Thanks for the tip on "The Big Short". "Inside Job" by Charles Ferguson is a scary movie to watch - it's about the 2008 financial meltdown. I agree with you that banks are notorious about passing along the results of their heinous tomfoolery to us. Porn happens because a large number of things amazingly fail to go wrong. | |

^ Michael took the approach of looking at the people who thought it would happen and banked on it.... including some of the firms who were putting toxic investment instruments out there. Investment firms, investment funds, banks, insurance companies. The lines are so blurred that one must assume it's like Rocco, Manuel, Nacho & Omar are all in bed together fucking us in the ass has hard as they can whilst getting paid hand over fist. And - our pleas for  go wanting.To say I'm disillusioned and pissed would be something of an understatement. There was time when our government put the reigns on the robber barons, enough at one point to right the ship after these "captains of industry" had almost sunk us. What's happened today is that these crooks have co-oped our government agencies and the people we elected to do their bidding. One can only advise to tread those waters carefully and at one's own risk. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |
