Some small banks might not bank Gadaffi.. I guess?
Classic Keeks, believing whatever Small Banking tells him.
My company uses an Israeli bank (because why wouldn't you) and about 20 countries therefore have to send us funds via some kind of back channel as they refuse to deal with the cunning Jew. I always find it hilarious that they won't deal with a certain bank for that reason, but all actual crimes committed by all the other banks are A-OK.
The best thing about this Onlyfans news from a local angle is a couple from my home town have just been exposed as selling videos of themselves on it, the girl wearing massive strap ons and abusing the fella with them. Sure they'll be glad they have had the double whammy of infamy coupled with their business model crumbling in the same month :D
BANKING can be added to the list of things that Kik's will always trust then....
This makes no sense to me at all. It'd be similar to Tim Martin saying 'alcohol causes problems in society, so on 1st October we're going to remove all alcohol from all of our 925 pubs'.
Maybe the OF's owners have already trousered enough money not to care, but I can't see how their platform will go any way other than that Play.com on the back of this.
It does seem a strange decision and I allowed myself a little chuckle at BIGBANKING being above porn money.
I assume the adult industry makes a reasonable amount of money, they must put it in a bank at some point.
It's all under one of their well worn mattresses.
They're doing it to sell it off.
Because it makes good business sense to tank its value before doing that?Quote:

I work for a bank and pretty well versed in AML but please tell me more oh divine one.Quote:

Is Mark Noble on Onlyfans?
Unless you're telling me that Pornhub etc. and the major porn studios are genuinely keeping all of their money under mattresses and you have proof of such, I don't care where you work - the porn industry will manage its money through banks like everyone else does.Quote:

Just verified on Porn Hub I think.Quote:

Just the tip.Quote:

Remember when Yev wanted to start his own porn company?
Now who's stealing posts that have already been made, huh?
AML = Arse-to-Mouth-Lesbians?Quote:

Respectfully tell us what you know about KY Jelly processes.
Businesses see the user base and move from there. I don't agree with it, but I'm fairly sure Tumblr was a place for perverts before Yahoo took it over.Quote:

"The US air force has also confirmed that human remains were found in the landing gear of an aircraft after it arrived in Qatar."

Yes, yes - thinking that it is inconceivable that major financial institutions could cut off funding / services to Only Fans is silly when Visa and MasterCard shut off access to Pornhub in December 2020 over how videos were posted.

And is there any such potential issue with Only Fans? Here is a BBC report clearly showing this moves comes in the dead zone between outlets getting internal documents but before the stories are out:

I can only imagine what treasures might ensue if they award the UK city of culture to Medway.
Where the fuck is Medway?
The wilds of Kent.
Ian exposing himself as uncultured. :harold:
I toyed with the idea of moving to Medway for work and then I saw the place. Bullet dodged.
I briefly considered it too when I found a 4 bed house for about £12.50. Sadly, there's a reason. There's also a reason they created the worlds first Covid VARIANT.

I hope you mean the one from Steps.
He's the worse of the 2 tbh.
You know he doesn't.
This Sporting Life. The National Coal Mining Museum. John Harrison the clockmaker. You could claim Henry Moore and the people making the decision wouldn't know any better. It probably has the least ethnics of any city in the region as well, so the White Rose gimmick writes itself.

“I have paid that company thousands and thousands of dollars over the last year and a half, and they’ve never promoted me or contacted me to say thank you,” she said.
Gracie doesn’t know what to make of OnlyFans’s latest decision. Despite reading about the new policy, she’s yet to be contacted by the company directly or find anything on OnlyFans’s website to explain the change.
The changes, which were widely discussed on social media on Friday, are being put in place because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers, according to the company. They come as OnlyFans tries to raise money from outside investors at a valuation of more than $US1 billion ($1.4 billion).
Gracie says it’s a poor business decision. “You’d think we’d receive an email at least. Is that anyway to treat the people responsible for your success?”
Like many other OnlyFans creators, Gracie began using the platform because it was safe, risk-free and enabled her to control all elements of the business.
In her opinion, the platform should consider other revenue forms like cryptocurrency instead of kowtowing to banks, “while we pay OnlyFans a percentage, it’s us in control. To take that away from us for a banks’ approval seems like a misstep”, she said
Isn't that the thing every content creator moans about? Check your emails for "Changes to Terms and Conditions" silly. And 'responsible for your success' is a bit rich when the money floating around that system is all crowdfunded. The service doesn't owe you anything.
How is she one of Australia's top slags? Flat chested, man jawed bint.
Many, many women seem to think there isn't anything between them and a Super Model.Quote:

Now I think about it, those most pleased with this change will probably be ManyVids and then the porn industry itself.
Dunno where to put this but I just saw it on Twitter:

Fuck's sake. :D
