This company has actively refused to pay me my funds being held with them. It has been one clerical error to another for weeks…and to my great detriment.

This is indicative of Apple’s slow turn from its founding principles at the the very least, but highly indicative of greater financial institutions as a whole being permitted to abuse and disregard their customers.
