This is a major, positive step to support the social reintegration of former gangsters. Those who are quitting yakuza groups will have clearer prospects for social rehabilitation if they can have bank accounts.

Unless, of course, their former colleagues find them before the money can be spent. Hopefully the next-of-kin or the estate will find a good use for the money.

Tricky to use ATMs with missing digits,I should imagine.

And what about those tattoos?

This may be a risk, but the benefit of reforming former criminals and giving a second chance to people with a genuine desire to abandon that life are not minor, I hope this have positive results both for the former gangsters and society.
