Pretty much all companies only offer accounts without any guarantees, that can be realistically closed on a whim without any mandatory notice period.

The only exceptions are the high end enterprise accounts.





Companies can voluntarily close accounts for almost any reason or no reason. The US government needs a legal justification for forcing companies to close an account.

The legal justification literally is “we put this person on the sanction list because national security.” The sanction process is basically its own legal justification.

How is this relevant to my comment?

I didn’t claim any company received a binding order to do this or that?
