- vxNsr 3y agoWhy is Aleppo banned?
- seized 3y agoAleppo, Syria. To block people sending money to terrorists (not stating that they are).
- arp242 3y agoSyria is a nation under heavy sanctions; "Alep" is the old name for Aleppo, apparently still in use. Governments around the word demand financial institutions prevent fraud, funding to terrorist organisations, money laundering, etc. and can give heavy fines if they don't do enough, so you end up with this kind of stuff, for better or worse. I had a friend that worked for ISIS: Innovative Solutions In Space. They had a lot of problems with all sorts of financial institutions once that other ISIS started becoming better known. They've since rebranded to ISISPACE for that reason.
