I started trading BTC via LBC on Sunday.  Today I have been told by my Bank HSBC (UK), that in no uncertain terms they do not wish to be associated at all with bitcoin, even if this is the money related to the sale of it.   The fraud team advised the lady at my local branch, unless I ceased my "activities" they will forcibly close my account.

This after someone (nefariously in my opinion- i had released the BTC to them) reported a trade as fraud.

Crazy, knee jerk reaction is crazy.  My 24 years with them means absolutely jack.  In the process of moving to Fidor.
