However, following feedback, we are immediately updating guidance to our customer facing staff to reiterate that it is not mandatory for customers to provide documentary evidence for large cash withdrawals, and on its own, failure to show evidence is not
a reason to refuse
a nubbins`: Mr Cotton says the staff refused to tell him how much he could have: "So I wrote out
a few slips. I said, 'Can I have £5,000?' They said no. I said, 'Can I have £4,000?' They said no. And then I wrote one out for £3,000 and they said, 'OK, we'll give you that.' "

a bubble."

a larger pile of money than your mom has

a few people who do, and the -50 degrees this next week are proof
the20year2: And that's what I've said, and been called
a idiot more times than I'd like to think about
mircea_popescu: especially if what you do is you take that window, extrapolate
a history based on it, and then pretend like the new dataset is usable to extrapolate
a future evolution.
the20year2: I've had some somewhat smart people calling me names because I've stated more than once that
a 100 year observation window isn't enough to build climate models

A newly-uncovered and monumental calculating error in official US government climate data shows beyond doubt that climate scientists unjustifiably added on
a whopping one degree of phantom warming to the official "raw" temperature record."

a crime against sensible anything

a suitcase of money to an unnamed individual in the countryside in
a region where terrorists are known to hide than to AML/KYC with Bitstamp?
Apocalyptic: Namworld, i've recently received the requirements to open
a corporate account with them
Namworld: Do they want to do
a cavity search too to make sure I'm not hiding and going to buy drugs from myself?
Namworld: They might be
a bit overboard there
Namworld: Seriously, someone take
a club with protuding nails and insert it up deep in Bitstamp's ass. I don't want to fly over to do it myself.
KRS1: i would uninstall myself, deficate and die if i got my ass kicked and raped by
a gangster ass faggot

a joke
