Good... TBH, I really don't like the idea of banks getting into deplatforming anyone. You cannot exist in a digital world without credit card infrastructure and it is emphatically not just private businesses making decisions, and should be allowed to do whatever they want.
The CC companies and banks have created what is effectively currency exchanges and would cry endlessly if the Govt tried to create their own, and have established policy, legislation and action in every country in the world to hold back upstart competition. They are effectively public trusts in private investorship.
Freedom of speech in terms of money exchange should absolutely be held in high regard. Deplatforming by banking institutions is actually worse than any political speech legislation against people or businesses could likely ever be.
I'm only saddened that the judgement wasn't far higher, since they probably paid nearly that much just for the lawyers already.
Well, it depends. If one were to bump'n'dunk a freighter in Uedama this could be accomplished in less then 5 minutes.
Even more so if you manage to chat-PVP some more ISK out of the bumpee before the gank. Aaaaaand even more if you sell the freighter pilot a plastic wrap full of assembled containers that matches the size of the one that dropped (half of the collateral works great).
