Wow! Scary story. I had my (at the time only) bank harass me once over a very small transfer to another person. Even after I answered all their questions and the "knew it was me" they said they were not unfreezing my account immediately. That was one of the biggest "eye-openers" for me. If they can freeze my accounts (including my business account!) I realized that I do not own the money in the bank. It cemented my view that bitcoin is real money and the bank account is an IOU. After that episode, I opened a separate account at another bank that does all my bitcoin related transactions. No problems since. I also agree with one of the commenters that using a smaller more regional bank seemed to be less problematic than a big national one.
My husband, who doesn’t believe in Bitcoin,🤦🏻♀️ refused to lend me some money until I resolve the Chase issue. He said:
“Sell some Bitcoin if you really need cash. You put yourself in this situation…get yourself out of it.”
You know what the story needs? More fucking emojis. Really lends credence to the experience.....
I got a fever and the only prescription is more emojis.

Very interesting story.
"lend me some money"?
Separate finances...not a good sign.
Haha. This stuck out to me as well and I thought it was weird.
