Re:Show HN: Managed GitHub Actions Runners for AWS on Thursday April 04, 2024 @04:30PM (#39935449)
I recently set up AWS Github runners with this terraform. It works well and you don't have to pay any extra in addition to AWS.

Re:Can a worker-owned restaurant work on Monday August 28, 2023 @03:42PM (#37299431)
That is generally not how things work. Your same argument could be made if they realized the restaurant was very popular/profitable (with low empoloyee wages). Rents have to be somewhat in line with market. They can't just increase rents ignoring the rest of the market. If you are arguing that switch costs are high, so they can. That may be somewhat true, but I know of multiple restaurants in my area that have moved. It's not that high and commercial real estate is not in the best place, so landlords aren't looking forward to vacant property

It looks like my post has been flagged. Is there a reason? How do I get the flag removed?
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @11:41AM (#35183387)
I completely agree. I am going to try to go to the local bank today and demand my money. Will update with what happens.
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @11:24AM (#35183202)
Appreciate the sentiment. I held off on saying the transactions for this exact reason. People are already speculating on the cause without the transactions. I was more interested in things to do next instead of wild speculation on the reasons for it happening (which will not help me).
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @11:23AM (#35183180)
The transactions in the account are rental payments from a tenant and bills paid related to the rental. The account has had the same types of transactions for 4-5 years. It is a shared account with someone else (because I only own part of the rental), so it's possible I am being caught up in something related to them. They are closing that shared account and my personal accounts. They started closing the other persons accounts first (that is why I feel it may be related to them).

I appreciate this. This is one of the only comments giving me some concrete advice instead of speculating why this happened.
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @11:11AM (#35182981)
I believe you are most likely right. I spoke with the teller at the bank and they said this happens most often with trying to cash bad checks. Mine is not that because I have never done that. My best guess with little evidence is some kind of anti money laundering thing, but again they won't say anything
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @11:08AM (#35182937)
Yes,I created a new account so I couldn't be tied to my main account. I was worried about Chase or other banks retaliation. I was hoping that someone on here had a similar situation and figured out a way to resolve it besides just leaving Chase.
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @11:04AM (#35182888)
Yes, I wrote the first part in the description above. I will definitely need a lawyer if it happens at other banks.
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @11:02AM (#35182857)
I appreciate the guess, but I think this is not right. There was a good amount of money in the account (~20k).
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @11:00AM (#35182828)
I didn't provide details of the transaction because I was more interested in what to do next and not have people speculate on the reason.

I have not that I know of (I don't use social media). My best guess of what happened (little to no evidence) is that it's somehow money laundering related.
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @10:48AM (#35182742)
This was my best guess as well. Unfortunately I have not been able to confirm it since they won't say anything
Re:Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts on Thursday March 16, 2023 @10:47AM (#35182730)
Yes, they are sent regularly. I have a rental apartment that the tenant has been depositing rent into for about 4-5 years. It's only really used for that purpose.

Tell HN: Chase shadow banned and closed my bank accounts

Yesterday someone tried to deposit money in my account and they were told my account was "closed". I logged into my account to see and everything looked normal, so I told them they probably had the number wrong and to try again. They went back the next day and got the same response. "Account is closed."I called Chase today and was informed that my account was "locked". I asked why and how I...
