If she was part of the protest group that was inside and left the building, but not the premises, she could still have been considered a trespasser and thus detained, by the undercover cop... Not condoning it, just wondering if that's how it will be slanted.

That is what I thought,
but this is new york city, shops, banks, restaurants all share the same side walks.
The lady was on a public sidewalk it appeared.
That is why I am having a problem grappling

If I was the director of a bank I would give them their damn money back. Not doing so would be a little thing called theft.

Citibank managment does read the boards on the Internet also.

Your only hope is another BIG consciousness shift to occur, so start 'praying.'
Yep, because a few thousands years of praying seems to have changed things...
There was a very interesting comment on the 1st page of the other CitiBank thread. The poster mentioned how a lot of credit unions actually store their money with larger banks, and that many credit unions are actually owned by bigger banks. So how does one avoid that problem? Choose the right credit union I guess. I would rather choose bitcoin!

Well if larger banks hold the assets of a credit union they could use those funds to make profit from investments and stuff like that. But I'm not really sure if larger banks do hold the assets of credit unions like that poster claimed.

what that person is talking about is wrong.
banks can operate the credit union, but never profit from it.
many credit unions are small community based, a small amount of research should find most people a very suitible credit union

They will make sure you won't have nothing left for you to take out thus, leave you with a negative balance. You cant close your account until you pay them . Citibank was caught with no plan in place to prevent the protest start of closing accounts. so they call the police. that's a new low for them .

A bank run (also known as a run on the bank) occurs when a large number of bank customers withdraw their deposits because they believe the bank is, or might become, insolvent. As a bank run progresses, it generates its own momentum, in a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy (or positive feedback): as more people withdraw their deposits, the likelihood of default increases, and this encourages further withdrawals. This can destabilize the bank to the point where it faces bankruptcy.
A banking panic or bank panic is a financial crisis that occurs when many banks suffer runs at the same time. A systemic banking crisis is one where all or almost all of the banking capital in a country is wiped out.[2] The resulting chain of bankruptcies can cause a long economic recession.[3] Much of the Great Depression's economic damage was caused directly by bank runs.[4] The cost of cleaning up a systemic banking crisis can be huge, with fiscal costs averaging 13% of GDP and economic output losses averaging 20% of GDP for important crises from 1970 to 2007.[2]
Several techniques can help to prevent bank runs. They include temporary suspension of withdrawals, the organization of central banks that act as a lender of last resort, the protection of deposit insurance systems such as the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,[1] and governmental bank regulation.[5]

Many of the recessions in the United States were caused by banking panics. The Great Depression contained several banking crises consisting of runs on multiple banks from 1929 to 1933; some of these were specific to regions of the U.S.[3] Banking panics began in October 1930, one year after the stock market crash, triggered by the collapse of correspondent networks; the bank runs became worse after financial conglomerates in New York and Los Angeles failed in prominently-covered scandals.[14] Much of the Depression's economic damage was caused directly by bank runs,[4] and institutions put into place after the Depression have prevented runs on U.S. commercial banks since the 1930s,[7] even under conditions such as the U.S. savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s.[15] The Depression's bank runs left a lasting mark on the American psyche, exhibited in sometimes disturbing images such as the bleak scenes in the movie It's a Wonderful Life,[
Well, if this was a "plan", then there may be "conspiracy" to start a run on banks, and that could be some serious charges....just sayin....I don't know the law here, but it could be something...
