There's a poster on here called 'rabite' more commonly known as 'weev' who claims he was cut off entirely from the banking system despite being nominally innocent in the USA (he also claims he hates libertarians so I presume it's not part of a libertarian conspiracy). IIRC he moved to Transnistria (which has very loose money controls and basically controlled by the mob) and then bought apartments in Ukraine via cryptocurrency. Getting your account shut down and then receiving a check is definitely a real thing, if you're someone like 'weev' idk what you would do next, but it seems like he found one of the few ways around it.

He has no valid serious convictions that I'm aware of, the only one he has was reversed because it was prosecuted in the wrong jurisdiction (and aside, had some other serious appellate arguments to consider if they hadn't chosen jurisdiction as the reason to vacate).
