## chantools closepoolaccount

Tries to close a Pool account that has expired

### Synopsis

In case a Pool account cannot be closed normally with the
poold daemon it can be closed with this command. The account **MUST** have
expired already, otherwise this command doesn't work since a signature from the
auctioneer is necessary.

You need to know the account's last unspent outpoint. That can either be
obtained by running 'pool accounts list' 

```
chantools closepoolaccount [flags]
```
