Why?  Attempting to wire funds to a #bitcoin  only company.  They said the risk to the bank is too great to have customers exposed to #crypto. I tried to explain #bitcoin  is not #crypto as if that was going to matter.  The only way I can get my money is to wait for checks to be mailed in 2 weeks or so.<\/div>\n
