Ah, the good old days when heavy metal was music to our ears. My hundreds of email accounts and dozens of bank accounts served me well then and continue to serve me well to this day. Infrastructure planning is a good thing to practice.

Be aware that in the jungle there are no hard and fast rules. At one time I operated 37 accounts, each with its own address but many sharing cards via discrete AMEX or Citi Virtual numbers. Many fed the same bank accounts. Then the Bezos tribe of headhunters came and made off with the money of one account claiming their forest god had declared I had opened a duplicate account. From that day forward some accounts would work, some would not, leaving the distinct impression that internal controls were all honked up in the jungle and that account reviews were manual. Throughout multiple account suspensions money was still being processed but it became an everyday guessing game of what accounts would work and what accounts would not. In the end I wound down the operation to a more manageable number of accounts. So I have lived in the jungle, died in the jungle and returned as the undead. I am really not sure that the Bezos tribe knows what to make of me, but they have given up on trying to shut me down and have returned my cash. Should they erect a statue of me and start bowing to it and presenting offerings, I'll let you know.
