Hearsay from a single person about being denied a Barclays account for who knows what reason (banks never give a reason, to stop you from re-applying and getting round their KYC rules). From a suspect publication I've never heard of and very little info on the internet, linking to another 'Originally Published In' similar unheard of with little info publication. Submitted by OP with little post history and only from this site? I'd take this article with a large pinch of salt.
I read similar comments from leader of CSG, one of the largest european defense manufacturers.
Not only that - everything from this website seems to be posted in the past 3 months by 3 different accounts.
AI misinformation and slop - should be moderated and not top of HN
Tech bros can be real whiners when denied unfettered access to our savings.
Did you even read it? They did give a reason ("due to the nature of your business") and it's been brought up in the house of lords precisely because it isn't a single person.
What a weird response.
