I work just about every site and everywhere direct deposits except for myfreecams and xxxcambabes (and I think they do too I just am too lazy to set it up since I dont make a regular check from them), so I don't really see a reason anyone would have to walk their checks into a bank or check cashing place? Also, you can open up one of the zillion prepaid debit cards that are popping up and have your stuff direct deposited into them instead of opening a BANK-bank account. Or is everyone freaking out and saying they are going to go cash because they are afraid their bank accounts are going to get wiped. And if that's so, I mean really? Overreacting much? Don't you think they are more likely to ... i dunno... shut down streamate's bank account than your bank account?

The move hands a big victory to Republican lawmakers who charged that the initiative — dubbed "Operation Choke Point" — was hurting legitimate businesses.
In a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd referred to the program as “a misguided initiative."
“We share your view that law abiding businesses should not be targeted simply for operating in an industry that a particular administration might disfavor,” says the letter, obtained by progressive activist group Allied Progress and later provided to POLITICO by Goodlatte's office. “Enforcement decisions should always be made based on facts and the applicable law.
“We reiterate that the Department will not discourage the provision of financial services to lawful industries, including businesses engaged in short-term lending and firearms-related activities,” it adds. A nearly identical letter was sent to Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho).
The Justice Department confirmed the letter was authentic but declined to comment further.
Under President Barack Obama, the department said the effort was intended to root out fraud by banks and payment processors and to cut off the banking system from wrongdoing by merchants.
Last year, payday lenders sued banking regulators over what they claimed was an effort to force banks to cut ties with the firms. A federal judge handling the case had approved a schedule for discovery. Regulators have denied discriminating against specific types of businesses.
Last month, Republicans in Congress sent letters to DOJ urging it to discontinue the program, saying they were hearing complaints. They asked for an official statement saying Operation Choke Point was no longer in effect.
Frisch disagrees with the lawmakers' view. "Ending this program will make it easier for financial predators and other unscrupulous industries to get the resources they need to carry out their deceptive and frequently unlawful business practices," he said.
