ConsenSys was affected by the "ban action" twice. CEO said that banks had tried to resist the pressure
According to a report from CoinDesk on February 7th, Joseph Lubin, the CEO of Ethereum software company ConsenSys, said that the company has been a victim of "Operation Chokepoint 2.0," where the US authorities attempted to cut off access to the financial system twice. In the latest incident, a large US bank (reportedly Wells Fargo) ultimately closed ConsenSys' account after being pressured by regulatory agencies. Lubin revealed that the bank initially tried to delay the execution and expressed support for ConsenSys, but ultimately could not resist the pressure. In addition, Lubin himself was targeted in this liquidation action.
