I have a recurring monthly payment to these guys that I've never sorted
   out what is for or how to cancel or if I want to. It's been repeating
   for more years than this email is old.
   This month it cost me over $600 because my account was overdrawn and
   the charge kept repeating. I was over $200 negative when I looked.
   All my tails money went to banking institutions in overdraw and
   transfer fees, eating into all my other money.

   Subject: [Tails-news] Police raid at Zwiebelfreunde: Donor data
   compromised
   To: <[2]amnesia-news@boum.org>
   On June 20th 2018, German police searched the homes of board members of
   our
   former fiscal sponsor Zwiebelfreunde in a coordinated raid.
   Zwiebelfreunde
   (_Friends of onions_ in German) is a non-profit organization that
   supports
   privacy and anonymity projects and operates several Tor exit nodes.
   They are not accused of a crime but considered to be witnesses in a
   case: the
   operators of an anonymous website calling for protest against the
   far-right
   AfD (Alternative for Germany) party convention used an email address at
   Riseup, a privacy-friendly email provider to which Zwiebelfreunde
   facilitates
   donations.
   During the search, computers, storage media, personal items, bank
   account
   records, and paper receipts have been confiscated. This unfortunately
   means
   that if you have donated to Tails before October 18th 2017 using our
   European
   bank account, your data is now in the hands of the German police (IBAN
   account
   number, name of account holder, amount, and date). If you donated after
   this
   date, you donated to our new fiscal sponsor CCT and not to
   Zwiebelfreunde.
   According to Moritz Bartl, one of the board members, "_there's a long
   history
   of police using that kind of data to investigate social structures;
   who's
   working where, who's involved in which projects, so we have to assume
   that
   they are looking into the social networks of people_"
   ([Source]([3]https://www.zdnet.com/article/german-police-raid-homes-of-
   tor-
   linked-groups-board-members/)).
   The raid has been strongly criticized by [German
   media]([4]http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/hausdurchsuchungen-bei-
   netzaktivisten-chaos-computer-club-kritisiert-polizeivorgehen-a-1216463

   and [digital rights
   activists]([5]https://netzpolitik.org/2018/zwiebelfreunde-
   durchsuchungen-wenn-zeugen-wie-straftaeter-behandelt-werden/) as being
   [disproportionate]([6]https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2018/hausdurchsuchu

   Please join us in supporting our friends at
   [Zwiebelfreunde]([7]https://www.zwiebelfreunde.de/). We are very
   grateful for the
   support they have provided to Tails.
