> If Chase is locking down your account, don't blame them.

> Chase, like other banks, is in the business of taking and keeping people's money until they need it. This is doubly true for businesses.

You say the first one immediately after the second as though keeping your money when you need it isn't exactly why we should blame them.

See my comment above. My company did nothing wrong, nothing even remotely shady. We were a C corp with a typical mix of investors - angels, Sand Hill VCs and CVCs. We were subject to extensive due diligence by investors. I've never had an experience like I had with Chase.

You might be surprised to know you don’t need residence or a visa to hold a bank account in the US

Blaming OP is totally unhinged

Surely you can understand how a bank would be more skeptical about an account holder who lives in a different country, is a citizen of another country, etc? Not saying he deserved it (Chase sounds pretty infuriating) but similarly saying something is legal is not the same as saying it should not be a fraud/crime flag.
