Is it fair for a bank to not do business with you because of your career choice? I mean a bank is a bank, right? They're supposed to be a safe haven for your life's savings. To be honest, most criminals, or those making money illegally, wouldn't typically open a bank account, wouldn't you say?
Well, Chase bank, which is actually my old bank that I had to close because there are no Chase banks where I live, have been giving a handful of porn stars a raw deal. How so? Well, adult film starlets, like Penthouse Pet Teagan Presley, "Cougarland" star Veronica Avluv and "Whitehouse Orgy" (great flick!...I mean...So, I heard!) actress Layton Benton, took to Twitter recently bashing the bank over their recent account closures, which have allegedly been connected to their careers of choice. Presley, whose real name is Ashley Erickson, said that her April 16 letter gave no reason for her account termination. Chase also closed her husband's personal account and their two business accounts, including one of their studios Skinworxxx. This is weird because usually banks like it when there is a lot of money coming into their branches. If Presley and her husband had four to five accounts open with Chase, wouldn't that be a good thing? I have to be honest, I'm kind of happy that I closed my account with Chase after reading this. Who wants to keep their money with a bunch of judgmental people.
Presley says that she's upset and in shock that this is even happening because she's not doing anything illegal. As I said earlier, if she was doing anything earlier, her cash would have been stashed underneath her mattress. Her husband, Josh Lehman said, "I've heard three different reasons. When I went into our branch, they said it was the nature of our business. When I called, they said they were closing my personal account because my wife is an 'infamous' adult star. When I talked to my branch again, they said it wasn't because we were in the adult industry but because we did business with a convicted felon." Seriously, Chase bank? Who cares? Does it really matter where the money is coming from? If there is money there, you should be more than happy to house it. I'm sure T.D. Bank, Wells Fargo or Bank of America will be more than happy to house the money of adult film stars. When did Chase bank become a communist bank?
Lehman said that he and others have contacted an industry lawyer to explore legal action. He also said, "We're waiting to see, but I honestly doubt we can do anything. It's not fair. We're a family with kids. We don't do anything bad." It's true! There are hardened criminals out there and Chase is discriminating against those making an honest living when it shouldn't even matter where the money comes from. This is truly disgusting! In the meantime, Presley and Lehman have moved their business to Wells Fargo, where I'm sure they will be better off. Presley said, "I'm really sad because I loved Chase. I travel to dance every Thursday through Sunday, and I loved their fraud prevention app because I might do banking in a different state each day. This is very disheartening."
Obviously, Chase has not commented on the claims, but did you really expect them to? This is a horrible and judgmental decision on the part of chase. I'm sure these adult film stars have pumped millions into the bank. I'm not a banker by any means, but when millions are coming into my bank, why would I stop it? It makes no sense! Whomever is running Chase needs to be put down and taken out of the industry because the main focus of a bank should be money and not the careers of their patrons. Next, you'll see Chase closing terminating the account of a legal marijuana dispenser because they are selling marijuana. That is so stupid!
