Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Actually I feel violated.

It's a KYC interview, not a police interrogation. I've always enjoyed KYC interviews; I get to talk about my business plans, or what I'm going to do with my loan, or how I ended up buying/selling stocks. It's hard to empathize with somebody who feels "violated" by small talk.

So many of these people are just very young and getting in contact with the real grown-up world of money for the first time. They keep that teenage mindset of "you can't tell me what to do!" to which the bank replies "fuck off" politely.

Edit just read a bit more, and it's amazing how many commenters who live in some of the most free and prosperous countries in the world dare to compare themselves to actual serfs.
