🚨 ALERT 🚨 🔥Chase froze my account and is in the process of de-banking me after I attempted to liquidate 65% of my savings to buy Bitcoin. Let that sink in. I’ve been buying Bitcoin since September last year using Chase without a single issue. Every month I moved about 10% of my paycheck through Strike and purchased BTC. No problems. Then on February 5th, when Bitcoin dipped to around $65K , I decided to liquidate 65% of my savings to Strike to buy BTC. That’s when everything changed. I received a message from Chase’s fraud department asking me to call. I did(pic bellow) They asked verification questions. I answered them. At the end of the call, they told me one of my answers was “incorrect.” Because of that, the transfer would be denied, my account would be frozen, and it would be terminated 😳 Then he hung up. I immediately went to my local branch. The manager confirmed the freeze. He also told me something disturbing; he had seen multiple accounts being terminated recently in connection with Bitcoin purchases. We filed a formal written complaint together. I have the case number. I then called the fraud department multiple times, during those days, demanding to speak to a chef department or supervisor. I recorded the call (legal in Virginia as a one-party consent state). During that conversation, the supervisor clearly stated my account was in the process of being closed. Here’s the timeline they gave me: 10 business(2 weeks) days to close the account Another 10 business days to mail a paper check(another 2 weeks) If the check is lost, another 10 business days to reissue it snow ball will occur… The check must be deposited into an account in my name. I can’t withdraw the funds in cash at any Chase branch; only deposit the check into another bank. That means a minimum of one month to access my own frozen money; assuming everything goes smoothly. 🤔🤨But how am I supposed to open another US bank account if Chase paced an OBS on my Social Security Number? I am a dual citizen (Brazil and USA), currently living in Norway, working in the United States under a Norwegian Air Force contract. My other accounts are abroad. DNB in Norway does not accept U.S. paper checks. Banco do Brasil would accept it, but I must be physically present in Brazil with my U.S. passport. The processing time is 60–90 days, and if something goes wrong, I risk serious to lose the money. When I explained this to the fraud supervisor, she told me that once the check is mailed, what happens next is “not their concern.” Let that sink in too. At that moment, the only practical solution left would have been to deposit the check into someone else’s account with my name attached; because of the OBS chase put on my SSN. An absurd position to be forced into. I informed them I would be pursuing legal action. Later that same day(February 9) at 18:40, I received a call back. They asked for 5–6 business days to “review and investigate” whether an error had occurred 😑🤨 The next day(February 10) I went back to a credit union and opened a new account. The “OBS” flag that had been placed on my Social Security number was suddenly gone. But I still do not have access to my funds. I borrowed $55 from my husband just to meet the minimum deposit requirement to open that credit union account. My next paycheck arrives in March and will go to my Norwegian bank, not Chase. Now here’s something else. On February 5th, the same day my account was frozen, I posted about it on X. The post went viral; over 1,000 shares and 224,000 views and counting.. The next day, my X account was blocked and deleted. When I tried to recover it, I couldn’t even download the X app because the debit card on my Apple account was my frozen Chase card. Then I try to access X via Google and Windows both redirected me to the App Store. The only way I could access my account again was by installing Brave browser. That’s why I’m here on Nostr and going to leave X. For clarity: I run my own Bitcoin node. I self-custody. My Bitcoin is not on an exchange. Imagine this situation happening to someone who does not have international accounts, who does not have access to foreign credit cards, who depends entirely on one U.S. bank. Their account frozen soon the paycheck get in…No access to money for a month. Bills due. Food needed. Many would be forced to sell Bitcoin just to survive… The BTC dip is orchestrated and manipulated, and this is one of their tactics. That is the pressure point we’re living in. I will not sell my Bitcoin. But understand what this means. If your money is in the bank, it is not yours. Access can be restricted at any time. This is not fear. This is my lived experience since February 5. Documented. Recorded. Filed. Make your own conclusions. And prepare accordingly. BTW, I am new here, if you don’t see all the post, please let me know.
