Or you could have just looked up the story. Is this the neocon mantra?  -
if you can't see a story it  doesn't exist?

How about this one?  ( banking f*ckup or Patriot Act? )

 Earlier last month, The Tampa Tribune printed a story about the nuns of the
Holy Name Monastery, based in St. Leo, Florida. The sisters said that the
monastery's main bank account was frozen without explanation last fall. On
November 10, their checks started bouncing without warning, and the account
wouldn't accept any deposits, including paychecks from state agencies where
some of the sisters hold jobs. Many of the checks they wrote went to pay
Visa and utility bills; two of their checks had gone to other charities.
The nuns racked up $399.56 in fees, later reimbursed by their local
Wachovia bank. During the week that the account was frozen, 22 checks were
returned with the unexplained (and slightly morbid) stamp, "Refer to
Maker."

    Sister Jean Abbott, the monastery's business manager, told The Tampa
Tribune that they were informed they were implicated by the Patriot Act
because one 80-year-old nun who is a signatory to their account didn't have
her photo ID and Social Security number on file ("Clearly an
international spy," said Abbott). But in the 116 years that the church
has been in business, the bank had never asked for any of that information.
Like the Soehnges, they'd been casualties of the Patriot Act's sloppy,
ineffectual and abusive banking provisions.

    Chris Hansen, an American Civil Liberties Union staff attorney,
consulted for The Tampa Tribune article and noted that Wachovia may have
cited the Patriot Act in their explanation to the nuns to avoid taking the
blame for their own idiocy. "It is our experience that there are a lot
of things these days where people say, 'The Patriot Act made us do it,'
" he said. "Often it's true, but it isn't always true."
