I tend to agree with you.

I have a bank account with about 5K euros on it. I have not touched it in 20 years (no deposits, no withdrawals). I earn tiny dividends on it each year.

I got a request from the bank 18 months ago to provide my tax return to them. I said no, why? They threatened me to confiscate my account (orally, on the phone). I replied I understand you need to ask info from me, by law. But if you don't get the information it's ok too, afaik. And there is no possible way that I can launder anything if the money is just sitting there.

I will see what happens...

It's now called "a dormant account" and they will take your money :)

Look it up for your country. You are about to lose that money :)

Friendly suggestion, stop playing hardball and give them the paperwork they seek. Dormant accounts can be either 'honest' ones (you) or accounts that remain open waiting to funnel the moneys from that fraud, etc.

You are most likely right.

In my dreams, I take the time going there in person with my ID, my anger and my badwill, and no tax return.

I get wildly upset in front of all other clients in a very lively way, just to laugh at them when they tell me I am "dormant" later.

I know, it makes no sense, just daydreaming...
