It's not unheard of for banks to fire clients. However, when somebody like high-profile lawyer Eva Chipiuk gets unbanked, it should catch your attention. The details are somewhat opaque and protected by client confidentiality. According to the correspondence from the Royal Bank of Canada that Ms. Chipiuk released, the situation was triggered by a Bitcoin transaction. And if transactions appear suspicious, banks are actually required by law to take action. On the other hand, lots of people buy and sell Bitcoin. So, that was all it was? And it was nothing to do with Ms. Chipiuk's public support for the Freedom Convoy, and her counter-establishment political views? Well, nobody's saying that. So, perhaps we shouldn't say it, either.
