2020 Coronavirus Merch Run

[mindlessobserver]

A printer can work on the redbubble/cafepress model and take the orders, then pay Null for his designs. It doesn't take a high-up banker, it takes a trustworthy mid-tier vendor who a bank will refuse to drop and who won't budge himself.

Does not exist in today's marketplace of corporate wokeness. No company wants to be on the receiving end of a twitter mob. It's honestly depressing how pants shittingly terrified corporations are of those losers.

 

[Jeff Gazetti]

I hope you come out of this on top Null.

Did you have a Patreon that one could spare a one time donation to help out?

 

[Ginger Piglet]

If they can't say which bank it is, or what the reason behind it is, or anything like that, it's probably that someone somewhere suspects money laundering.

I don't know about where Null is, but here in bongland money laundering rules are thus. If you have reason to suspect money laundering (large cash transactions, payments in cryptocurrency, money coming from or going to a high risk jurisdiction for money laundering, politically exposed persons being involved, transactions that make little commercial sense, etc.) you have to report it up the chain and the person at the top then decides whether or not to make a disclosure to the FCA or NCA. However, regardless of whether one is made, you can't tell anyone, ever, that you've made a money laundering report as that's tipping off. You also have to stop dealing with the subject of the report.

From a risk viewpoint, the Farms could well look like money laundering. Bitcoin is accepted. Laughing at autists may be amusing but it makes little sense from a commercial viewpoint. It's a place for money to go into and not come out. Now you know and I know that it isn't money laundering because there's not all that much scope for the placing and layering that characterises same. But imagine some cubicle drone looking through all this and not using their brain because they're not paid to, and there you have it.

Do you think the involvement or promotion of the private card website could also have something to do with it?

While my optimism is of no help to Null and I don't know his threat model, I do believe mid-tier businesses are more robust. A large vendor such as Amazon doesn't care about you, and the bank doesn't care about a new vendor, but I hope (I must hope) they wouldn't take seriously a complaint like "Please refuse further service to your established client The Calico Street Bike Store, they sell a t-shirt with a design I don't like",

It's (((their))) money and (((their))) laws you don't like it tough shit goy.

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE]

THERE IS A FUCKING PANDEMIC OUT THERE IN THE OPEN.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING STUPID FAGGOTS.

 

[ProfDongs]

Fuck, I just got payed and I missed out on the Assault Shirts.

 

[murgatroid]

Spoiler: Eggshell sticker savagery

No more orders for the stickers? I thought the stickers would have been from a different vendor than the clothing.

So kiwifarms is basically considered dailystormer now to normies and corporations?

I doubt anyone would care about a couple thousand dollars even if they did suspect it. No, he's just on the world government's shitlist for having illegal thoughts and opinions.

 

[ZapThePickle]

@Null are you going to attempt to find a new merchant? Or is this the nail in the coffin for merch?


(Was going to buy more so hopefully not)

 

[Ivan Shatov]

@Null - in another thread, someone asked where to send gift cards. You told him to just use the gift card.

This whole ordeal makes me want a KiwiFarms gift card.

Now?

 

[mindlessobserver]

There is only one solution. We need to form our own bank!

 

[PumpkinSpiceBitchMeringue]

Who do I have to coof to get my shirt?
After 2 years of not being able to buy merch, it had to be the one year were I finally purchase something and it goes to shit.

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE]

I was going to slap kiwi stickers on my enemies car.

FUCK.

 

[Radioactive Man]

Fuck 'em. This just makes me want to double down.

 

[Banditotron]

This is the part where someone says banks are allowed to suppress your freedoms because they are a private company or some shit.

 

[Slimy Time]

Not the first time I have seen banks do this during the Covid crisis. Business has ground to a halt because these bastards hold money in limbo, and it's global.
