They threatened to close mine if I didn't provide them with more info.
I was furious initially called and said some shit like "so because you were busted laundering money in the US, I now have to give up my info to you" yada yada and then ended up filling something out online with as much bogus info as possible.
Could be worse. I know somebody who banked with HSBC for ten years and they just wrote to him and told him that they were closing his account due to money laundering concerns. Didn't even explain why, or ask him any questions. No right to appeal.
The only unusual thing about him was the amount of money he was paying in, all his income is legit and demonstrable. Madness.
