Pin it! 
Scary how our government continues to quietly suppress those it considers undesirable. Extrajudicial persecution? We like to think we're over that.

As the article alludes to, not just the porn industry. Some may remember that last year (when this started) some smaller businesses in the firearms industry also had their accounts closed. The "high risk" industries are listed here:

If it's all about money laundering, why isn't "politician" on the list?

All good points... But let us not forget that we can only judge politicians on their good intentions and not on the actual failure if their policies or the growth of their personal wealth while in office. Some politicians are a protected class as are the "good" reverends Jackson and Sharpton who are in the undesirable profession of sowing racial discord to stay in business. However nary a bank would touch the accounts of NAN or like orgs.
(Slightly off track perhaps, but why would I let that get in the way of a good train of thought)
