because he signed an agreement that said it cost $175 to close an account. there was a quote in the article that said 'signing your banking agreement is the start of the time when they can be unfair to you'..
also imo the 'bad taste' is mitigated by the fun value of telling a story where the big guy loses. going on inside edition doesn't feel significantly different from posting about it on the internet to me.

He was in the position of power, and he still let them fuck him. That's what I think is strange. (Maybe he is just a nice guy... but even then, why apply your human/human social skills to interaction with a mega-corporation?)
