No one is taxing wealth, though. They are taxing income. Please be aware of the fact these are different, that such wealth can be accumulated despite steep income taxes, and that even if such taxes are desirable NYC is not necessarily the jurisdiction which (a) is able to collect those funds, or (b) deserves to have them.
Social engineering schemes at the city level have meaningful constraints.
Back of America just killed of it's viral credit card feature, according to them because it's getting replaced across the board with intermediary services like PayPal, Google pay, Apple pay, and the like and will eventually disappear from Chase and the other virtual credit card providers. BoA said they liked it off now because it relied on flash and they were pushing to remove that risk (and likely were getting complaints by customers who couldn't get it to work because their default browser didn't support flash natively).

And whenever a "newer, smarter company" disregards fundamental IT security practices and gets hacked, the sun shines a little brighter in my world.
Security is an afterthought (if a thought at all) in many hipster operations, and it's about time someone fucks up so badly that IT security is priority #1 from the beginning.
