Kiwi Farms and SEPA

After a little bit of research it seems that romanian banks only lock accounts if there are suspicions of fraud/terrorism tho opening an bank account as a foreigner seems impossible unless u trust someone to let them open it for you with a power of attorney document(?)(i have no idea how the fuck its called in english)

 

[Outwith Quiddany]

Does Switzerland have any issues for you? I would suggest the Caymans but I don’t know if you want to deal with them.

Swiss banks will not open any account for a non-resident person with US citizenship.
(*Unless you're rich enough it counts as "wealth management")

SOFORT looks like a payment gateway- kind of like PayPal since when I clicked that it had a drop down list for Dutch banks.

all of them are.

romanian banks only lock accounts if there are suspicions of fraud/terrorism

that would be abused the minute the bank account is posted...

I checked and you need to be a natural person living legally within the EU.
- the account needs to be opened in person (at least with BNP paribas. I'll check some other banks)

what about Sint Maarten, Aruba and Curacao? are they part of SEPA? i couldnt find any information about that in normal language, the french islands are.

most probably but sadly i havent found any legal precedent so far
Update:After a little bit more digging so far the only "documented" cases of a bank locking or blocking account have been ING and BRD after the client forgot to update his personal details and 1 case of someone getting his account locked due to not paying some taxes.
It also seems that banks will only lock accounts if its an judge order or the romanian equivalent of IRS comes after you.nothing about hate speech laws and even less about online hate speech

Living outside your area of interest, I cannot provide SEPA-specific advice. However, as an American, you will need to find a bank that will comply with FATCA .

Not every institution is willing to go through the trouble, even in friendly territories. Banking laws covering Americans are onerous and ever changing. Best of luck.

I don't really know anything about banks, but if you decide to go for Italy I can help you with language barriers, translating documents, etc.

Poland would assassinate me the second anyone posted anything about Pope John Paul.

idk if you are joking but there are enough legally operating quasi-fascist groups, that i don't thing something as milquetoast as KF would have any toubles. one of those groups have a campaign openly calling gays as deviants. other celebrity schizo was openly calling out for murder of bill gates and dishing death threats on the regular and was only arrested after he organized a march shouting "death to jews". he's currently out and back livestreaming and taking donations. in 2013 prosecution dropped a case (propagating fascism and comunnism is SOMEWHAT banned here) against a dude painting swastikas, because it's a hindu symbol of happiness. as for the legal responsibilty, there is one if the administrator is aware of content that breaks the law, but the legal practice acknowledges that no moderator can monitor all postings at any given forum.

You gotta give it a cool name like Coach's in order to get NEETs to do your bidding. Something like Project Chaos.

Hungary could be a viable option. Globohomo will not come after you, LGBT+, Muslims and such are ideologically antagonized on a daily basis, and the EU never does anything about it besides sperging in the news. The current ruling party, FIDESZ, literally has the gig of scaring people with migrants, and the populace, generally, either does not care about Western ideological detritus or holds it in ridicule. The relatively few ultraliberals are almost all from the 16-30 age bracket, and the local (horribly corrupt and broken) justice system does not fight for liberal causes like Western ones do.

The thing you have to understand about Hungary is that, yes, it is a corrupt backwater, but it is deliberately so, for the purpose of giving the EU space to cash in from less ethical economical manouvers while having the apathetic, corrupt population as both willing and silent accomplices in exchange for EU premiums, and having the political and ideological tomfoolery here as an elaborate cover to distract any prying eyes away from the abovementioned shady business.

You might get a few, nominal warnings about KF and whatever goes on here, but they will all be empty threats as long as the Hungarian regime does not feel threatened by you. And I highly doubt it would happen. Nobody would give a damn about whatever is said and done here.

Just make sure to choose a Hungarian bank like OTP Bank or MKB Bank.

Source: am Hungarian and live in Hungary, and have seen a few things.

I was going to suggest Hungary but-

So maybe not.

There are laws like that all over Europe to mollify the ((( totally white Americans))).

But it is seldom acted on. You would have to make trouble for the government to care or not pay any due taxes.

If Orbán feels threatened he will buy you out and Kiwifarms will be full of anti-lgbtpedo content.. oh.
Happened a few times before.

I am not saying it is the best, but if all else fails, I am happy to translate for free.

Have you looked into Andorra? Their banks are in SEPA but the country isn't part of the EU, and as far as I can tell their only banking restrictions are for tax avoidance and terrorism financing.

Edit: The Association of Andorran Banks has a webpage in English, check if it convinces you

Andorran Banking - Association of Andorran Banks

The ABA represents the interests of the Principality’s banks and promotes the prestige and competitiveness of the sector in Andorra and internationally.

Here's their code of conduct

In Czechia, Slovakia and Italy you've got third-party liability protections with no duty to monitor content, but can lose it if it's proven you became aware of our unlawfulness and did nothing to prevent it further. In theory you're protected, in practice some faggot could tie you up in litigation trying to prove you knew European users were cyberbowling mohammad and you'd actually have to respond. In Italy specifically you might need to put up a boilerplate disclaimer saying that you don't guarantee the veracity of anything we say, because the third party liabilities for civil defamation case law was tested with that, and the judges brought it up as being a relevant factor.

I think you're going to find that all European countries are going to have the same level of liability protections, and the bigger problem is that pretty much none of them give a shit about prior restraint and will be willing to hit you with injunctions the second some tubby retard files against you, and then nail you to the wall with contempt charges if you don't delete massive vaguely-defined swathes of your website because they told you to.

What an informative, useful comment. Even if I give you shit once in awhile, you're a pretty intelligent abbo, Dynasty.

 

[fat venus]

so i've found out that in finland, if you manage to set up a bank account, cops could freeze it in case they suspect theres money laundering going on or they suspect a crime directly related to finances is happening.

so i'd say it's an option, after all. mean words on the internet don't count as terrorism, so there would be no reason to fuck with the bank.

No, pick a name that draws no attention and is completely boring, like the Korean International Wetlands Institute.

 

[Ponzo]

Im from Austria and they would def. seize your bank account if you do not respond to their letters/fines if someone reports your website for hosting holocaust denial or antisemitic shit and they found out you are using a austrian bank for transactions. I think same goes for germany.

I speak six languages and have a STEM doctorate, two bachelors degrees and three published books and white people still make a point of calling me 'articulate'.

 

[NS0N]

Why don't you open an account somewhere and withdrawal the money every couple of days?

 

[xartonkalo]

Anti-semitisim is a BIG NONO in hungary and holocaust denial is punished by jail time so anything against jews will get you majorly fucked
