This is not the same. The bank did not kick you out as a customer but just locked you out for your "protection". Or more like their "protection" in case it turns out not to be you and you demand the money back.



I said it's not the same thing, but they did kick me out as a customer, for a day. And it's the same in that it was caused by some irrational actor (people or people who manage software). If they wanted to just prevent me from sending money to a Nigerian Prince, they could have a) only blocked the wire, not locked my multiple personal and business accounts and b) told me I had to perform XYZ additional steps to get the wire unblocked. Instead they silently disabled account access then generated a spiral of BS, exasperation and time wasting, for a day.
