I think SubscribeStar will need to start taking cheques by mail.

2019-01-05 21:24:36 UTC  

He was just frustrated the other day. I don't see him shutting it down now

2019-01-05 21:24:46 UTC  

That may be a way to get around all this nonsense.

2019-01-05 21:25:06 UTC  

at some point they could literally just become a bank which has ACH access and everything

2019-01-05 21:25:31 UTC  

well.... maybe

2019-01-05 21:25:44 UTC  

anyway, at that point the buck would effectively stop there

2019-01-05 21:26:21 UTC  

Hmm. But the problem is writing or receiving cheques have been illegal in my country for the last 3 years.

2019-01-05 21:26:29 UTC  

Wth

2019-01-05 21:26:39 UTC  

Why

2019-01-05 21:26:45 UTC  

.... what?

2019-01-05 21:27:06 UTC  

what country is this?

2019-01-05 21:27:14 UTC  

sounds like South america

2019-01-05 21:27:20 UTC  

All checks or just paper checks?

2019-01-05 21:27:32 UTC  

I mean, if you have cheques available for draft, then surely it is legal to use them?

2019-01-05 21:27:49 UTC  

why would your bank issue an illegal monetary instrument?

2019-01-05 21:28:01 UTC  

Anti money laundering legislations.
Also using more than approx 2000 USD in one transaction in cash is also illegal

2019-01-05 21:28:10 UTC  

just illegal?

2019-01-05 21:28:17 UTC  

that seems a bit heavy handed

2019-01-05 21:28:20 UTC  

Yeah

2019-01-05 21:28:22 UTC  

1-800-uhaul

2019-01-05 21:28:24 UTC  

is there some way to do it by registering?

2019-01-05 21:28:35 UTC  

No, bank are required to report you to the police if you try to cash a check

2019-01-05 21:28:41 UTC  

...

2019-01-05 21:28:44 UTC  

So what is everything done digitally then

2019-01-05 21:28:48 UTC  

wait what?

2019-01-05 21:28:51 UTC  

Yes

2019-01-05 21:28:54 UTC  

why do they have the mechanism if it is illegal to use?

2019-01-05 21:29:01 UTC  

Everything must be digital

2019-01-05 21:29:02 UTC  

That's retarded

2019-01-05 21:29:04 UTC  

welcome to we need some regulation

2019-01-05 21:29:25 UTC  

So what are you supposed to do if you want to buy a car from your buddy

2019-01-05 21:29:35 UTC  

I feel like you're explaining this incorrectly

2019-01-05 21:30:04 UTC  

because that is like having petshops which stock pet food, but call the cops when you try to buy any

2019-01-05 21:30:20 UTC  

surely they would just stop stocking pet food

2019-01-05 21:30:38 UTC  

Is it all checks or just post dated checks

2019-01-05 21:30:40 UTC  

You could risk having a cheque book more than three years old. You can keep them as souvenirs but you are encourage to hand the in for destruction

2019-01-05 21:30:50 UTC  

what?

2019-01-05 21:30:56 UTC  

I just don't get how the instruments have any use

2019-01-05 21:31:00 UTC  

if using them is unlawful

2019-01-05 21:31:04 UTC  

If cheques issued before the law is null and void

2019-01-05 21:31:40 UTC  

I understand banning post dated checks but not them entirely
