Looks like they did do something on those treasury and IRS computers after all.

Do I have to bury my money in the fucking back yard?

    This only supports that they could withdraw money from private bank accounts, not that they have. Yea, if someone in the government wants to fuck your over, there are many ways they can do that.

      I was gonna say… I wouldn’t think NYC’s bank account would be completely inaccessible to the US Treasury.

      Does this really have implications for private citizens?

      (I’m asking a genuine question, here not supporting Musk/Trump or anyone else. I fuckin hate those assholes.)

        Right. The title of the reddit post says “private accounts” and by any reasonable definition, NYC’s bank accounts are not that.

        They’ve had the ability to garnish your bank accounts, but there are restrictions on when and how they can do that. The only thing stopping the government from accessing your bank account is the law.

        Right now, there’s not a lot keeping Musk/Trump from breaking the law.
