THE ORANGE MARMALADE PRIMITIVE

On Wednesday, Citigroup (C) suspended access to funds in a business account that was set up by Jason Goldberg for his new social networking site Fabulis.com.
Why? He apparently posted “objectionable content†on the Fabulis blog, which a compliance officer at Citi found “offensive.â€
Oh yeah, Fabulis isn’t just any social networking site. It’s a social networking site that “helps gay men "(emphasis added) connect with amazing experiences nearby and around the world.â€
Goldberg, who has held positions at the White House, AOL, and T-Mobile, raised seed money for Fabulis from the Washington Post (WPO), and Microsoft (MSFT) co-founder Paul Allen, among others, isn’t exactly the type of customer a faltering outfit like Citi needs to be alienating at this point. In fact, Citi (whose chairman, Dick Parsons, is in no position to be throwing stones, having fathered a daughter with a 32-year-old woman while married to his wife of 30 years with whom he has three grown children) can’t afford to alienate any customer at all, right now.
Goldberg was finally able to access his account last night. Citigroup investigated the situation and apologized to Goldberg for the three individuals who were responsible. .........(more)

1. If I were him I'd remove the funds and refuse to EVER do business with them again. And I'd tell them exactly why.

2. That's what he gets for doing business with a corrupt, taxpayer-fleecing institution.
Next time, use some discretion in choosing who to send your money to! Try a credit union, or a solid local bank.

Bawney Fwank will be all over this to help them out, unless he thinks it too much like competition a prostitution ring for gays.

Citibank sucks big ole donkey balls. But that is just my opinion.
I have a card with them, and stellar credit with them as well. I ain't copping a "they hosed me stance," but they still suck donkey balls.
That is all.
