Answer: They were all targeted by a 2013 initiative of the United States Department of Justice, which would investigate banks in the United States and the business they do with these categories of industrial actors. It officially ended in August of 2017, but now it appears to be making a comeback...

"On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) unabashedly embraced the tactics behind one of the most shameful policies of the Obama era, openly using the guise of her federal authority to berate and not so subtly threaten a bank for lawfully serving businesses that don’t reflect her political views."

It gets better:

"Maloney knows that she’ll never be able to legislate guns away as she’d like to, so instead she wants to berate a company for not doing it for her. Wells Fargo has done nothing wrong. Maloney isn’t even saying they’re doing anything remotely illegal. She’s angry because they’re willing to work with entities that she doesn’t like.

After all, Wells Fargo is the bank for the National Rifle Association."

Point: The vast majority of the business categories on that list are superfluous, the ones that were specifically targeted were firearms and ammunition sales. That was the point of the exercise.

Obama was very sneaky. So are his successors, and they now have control of the House of Representatives. That's one quarter of the Federal government.

We live in a very complex society.
There is a level of trust needed in dealing with many of those areas.

We are face with poor & misleading practices in the market place.
As individuals we need to have a reasonable assurance that things are what they are.
From the seeing that the food we eat or items we buy will not cause harm to us.

Because things are so complex we as individuals have be able to trust that what we are getting is what we want & will be safe for us to use.

Many of the areas mentioned have had bad impact on some people at some time or another.

Agreed. And when was the last one?

Or will there ever be a last one.

I do not that think that giving my view was an admission to wanting to join a game.

I asked when was the last one, you decided to play that obtuse game and declare that there was no last one, knowing full well what I was asking. So, I ask again, when was the latest one, since there was no 'last' one?

It is almost like asking a man "When did you stop bating your wife?"

As I see the issue it is one of:
Most seem to me to be scams of one sort or another.
It may be a stretch.
It is not with out reason to consider what the banks role is in these schemes.
Historically using the post office has been a criminal act in using the postal service to aid in theses scams.
The one that comes to mind was one that:
A person gets a letter in the mail with a list of names.

Maybe say six names.
They are to send some money to the first on the list & add their information to the end of the list & mail them out. (How letters many they send out escapes my memory.)

I think it was chain letters a form of a Ponzi Scheme.

I can not venture as to the real reason this person wished to look deeper in to the issue.
It could well be that the parties in evolved in these scams are leaving a trail of information that can be followed by banking information.

There is a law that calls for attention of any transfer of $10,000 or more in cash or check.
A while back I sold a building & the transaction was held up for seven days.

I have a small online stock market account in both mine & my wife's' name.
Deposits to the account have to be from a joint account.

All in all I think you are a bit paranoid on his issue.

To look closer on the use or banking in these scams is not with out merit.
I think you need to express in more detail just why you bring this issue up.
