“The Department of Justice (DOJ) program is called Operation Choke Point. The choke point is America’s payment infrastructure through which an estimated $5 trillion in consumer purchases flow each year; more than eight million merchants use it to process credit and debit card payments. The DOJ is targeting banks and payment companies, such as PayPal, with a tsunami of subpoenas and other expensive legal demands. The demands go away if the institutions refuse to do business with people whose activities are deemed ‘objectionable’ although they are legal. The DOJ is imposing its own moral criteria on who can participate in the market place.”
