There was a story on the local news about a couple of guys that were playing a 'personal golf competition' and tried to use Venmo. It locked down the money on both sides AFTER they accepted the money and held on to it for 90 days. The site demanded tax info about the guy that was getting the money, but the guy that sent the money didn't have anything but a first name and a burner phone number.

There is a reason that Bitcoin exists. It's because money transfer services suck.
