The juveniles, ages 11, 12 and 16, were caught on camera robbing a Wells Fargo bank March 14, the FBI said.

Three boys dubbed the "little rascals" for allegedly robbing a Texas bank were behind bars Thursday, the FBI said.

The juveniles, ages 11, 12 and 16, have each been charged with robbery by threat, a spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff's Office in Houston said in an email.

"Because they are juveniles, their names, and no additional details will be released," the spokesperson said.

can’t spend more than €2000 in cash or else I’ll face a huge fine and I’ll be automatically considered a “money launderer” and a “financial criminal”

That's not quite the case, you are not automatically considered a money launderer and criminal, but considered potentially a money launderer,it will be investigated, and you have to be able to document where the money is from.

personal data is digital gold, It will be sold and shared

No that's illegal without consent. And sneaky attempts of achieving consent through hidden terms or default selected options are illegal too.

A bank account is nothing short of mandatory, yet there’s not national bank you can open an account in.

Same here, but there is regulation that the mandatory basic account called "nem konto" is heavily regulated and has to be free of charge for mandatory functionality, so you can pick any bank you like and not get screwed, except our bank charges $1-2 per account for a yearly account statement which cannot be avoided. I'm not sure that is entirely legal, but maybe it is because we have other services?

Offering subpar and overpriced investment products

Haha yes so true, it's ridiculous to a degree that it's almost hilarious LOL,

If there wasn’t a societal unspoken obligation to have a bank account, many people would have ditched theirs a long time ago, me very much included, people are just coerced into accepting it.

I understand what you mean, but that would not be the case here. Even homeless people depend on electronic transactions, and use "mobile pay" which is a free payment service where you can easily transfer money from your bank account to anyone who also has it, which everybody do. Even my father who is 86 is very happy with this functionality on his phone. This is possible in part because of "nem konto", which means everybody has a bank account which is a requirement for the service.

Denmark is one of the countries in the world with the highest confidence in government, where we trust the government actually works for the benefit of the people. Personally I'm against our current government, because IMO they do to little on education/healthcare and social security, a typical right wing government IMO. But at least they are not batshit crazy. And at least they remain financially responsible.

I think to people in many countries this is a strange concept, but even the right wing agree that many of our social institutions represent core values for our country.
