I've heard people doing this and then getting black listed from the entire banking system. Can't open bank accounts, access any credit, and the banks don't have to tell you why you're blacklisted. It's supposed to be very very difficult to undo.

Would be good to have a source on that instead of rumors.

Can’t speak to this exactly, but it also happens to fraudsters and the like, after a few bad checks/transfers at different places and you are basically blacklisted from banking, literally no one will open you an account as they all seem to use same backend for fraud review known as ChexSystems Wiki here, iirc since it handles Credit but is not one of the “Big 3” they have to supply your report at request but only by mail request.

Thanks for the links. However, the first link seems to only concern the USA. That's of course still a good find.

The other two links, which are related, concern the classification of whole countries in relationship to the EU and not individuals. So that doesn't seem relevant here.

You havent truly lived unless you've been personally sanctioned by the international banking cartel.
