Trump supporters have announced they are boycotting the Bank of America after Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported on Thursday that the bank had turned over information on hundreds of accounts to federal authorities investigating the 6 January Capitol riots.

Bank of America is, without the knowledge or the consent of its customers, sharing private information with federal law enforcement agencies, Mr Carlson said on his show. Bank of America effectively is acting as an intelligence agency, but they're not telling you about it.

The bank reportedly turned over 211 accounts, after searching for people who made transactions in Washington that day, or purchased lodging, weapons, or airlines tickets in the days surrounding the attack on the Capitol.

We dont comment on our communications with law enforcement, the bank told British newspaper The Daily Mail. All banks have responsibilities under federal law to cooperate with law enforcement inquiries in full compliance with the law.

wtf chuds love cancel culture now?

Fuck that bank. Why won't they commit illegal activities to help hide other illegal activities? You won't find anything like that in the bank of jars of cash buried underneath my house.

They've always loved it. They only don't like it when it happens to sexists and racists.

It was never about loving cops, it was about idolizing and lionizing an institution that could kill Black people with impunity. Blue Lives Matter is a racist fantasy projected into a movement.

Isn't this pretty standard in most investigations?

I can almost promise all of them that if you read the contracts that they blindly signed that tucked away in one of the paragraphs is some clause that explicitly states if law enforcement makes a request of records that BoA will acquiesce to the request.

Also that there is a clause stating that your account will not be used for, or in relation to, illegal activities and if that happens BoA will transfer all records to law enforcement. As well as the termination of your account

it's almost like

actions have consequences

There's an irony in this group who saw tyranny in public health measures having their every move tracked by banks and cell phones.

blue lives matter unless we kill one!

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. -Francis M. Wilhoit

Cops should go their job and what they signed up for *gasps*

Banks are under federal provisions for the FDIC so they have to cooperate with investigations
