Important question: Subpoena or not?
Important point: Lots of federal law places banks squarely in the role of crime detection and reporting per legal requirement (e.g. anti-money laundering).

In the days after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, Bank of America went through its own customers' financial and transaction records. These were the private records of Americans who had committed no crime; people who, as far as we know, had absolutely nothing to do with what happened at the Capitol. But at the request of federal investigators, Bank of America searched its databases looking for people who fit a specific profile.
If it were a subpoena, do you think the article would have said it was such, rather than "a request?"

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Yes, for specific actions or patterns. Not where were you when in the absence of any other indicator.

They have 60MM customers and turned over info on 211. Thats a pretty fine comb.

Yeah I don’t think we have the right to know who the 211 make up as it’s probably in our best interests to have it dealt with. Maybe a trusted person can review (justice roberts?) and tell us all is well.
