In the US, a lot of financial services outfits bend over backwards (to the detriments of their clients' privacy) in order to be seen as "cooperative" by law enforcement agencies. I'm always on the lookout for operations which, instead, place their clients first, and comply with legal requirements in the fashion most protective of client financial privacy.

I really do want an answer to the question: Do you notify clients of subpoenas concerning them, if the law allows you to do so? (I know that the Patriot Act sometimes prohibits such notice -- nothing you or I can do about that.)
I am not qualified to answer your question. I am not an attorney here or outside the US. I am not avoiding the question, the answer is that I just don't know.

Thanks everyone and we will do this again soon. All the best and see you all in San Diego June 9th!
