In my line of work, we call this “aiding and abetting money laundering.” But then turning around and stealing the money launderer’s money? Chef’s 💋💋💋💋

Wow - only 59 out 1,132 of m follows have Mastodon accounts. That's sad. Given my politics, I would have assumed at least half. If you haven't signed up because you're worried it's too much of a pain to re-create your network, may I suggest movetodon.org Get it done!

Have any payments nerds out there documented the ACH Window closing times for major fintech-friendly banks? For example, Evolve's cut-off is 6pmET - which is pretty early if you ask me (PNC's is 10pmET).
