Default So I\'m under suspicion of money laundering...

So I go into a branch of barclays bank that I don't normally bank in london (uk) on monday as I am in the area on other business, and pay in two substantial cheques I had cashed out from various poker sites (via neteller and another uk account) to my current account (which normally has next to nothing in it because of a non existant rate of interest). I'm 21 and was looking pretty scruffy, t shirt and rucksack on (rather like a tourist) and the cashier started asking me questions about my identity/dob/where the money came from/ etc. I asked if everything was ok he said yes, stamped my paying in slips and I went on about my day.

Next day my account is frozen, the money I paid in seems to have disappeared. I spent 2 hours in my local branch trying to figure out what the hell was going on, and after much enquiry it appears their money laundering team are investigating me. Needless to say i'm pretty pissed off as I need the cash fairly soon for a property purchase.

Has this ever happened to anyone here? I'm going to really lay into the management of the bank for this.
