Re: xNY.io | Palantir Technologies Board of Directors - Securities Fraud and Computer Crimes

Dear Palantir Board of Directors: xNY.io - Bank.org contacted Palantir on February 8, 2022 concerning <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oej5gM5wuftu68eVkXTR4wWqoHREP2zg3nwlH1H…> request for the resignation of Mr. Peter Thiel from the Board of Directors of your esteemed organization. Furthermore, Palantir’s Board of Directors failed to respond to xNY.io’s February 18, 2022 memo urging <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NMs-8HFD_Rrnkw4ePUhQSvJSGwhU70F9/view?usp=…> Palantir’s Board of Directors to act in resonance with the law. On April 11, 2022 Meta Platforms responded to xNY.io - Bank.org concerning our aforementioned request. xNY.io - Bank.org recently became privied to a Cambridge Union Society event that features Mr. Thiel that seemingly exacerbates our February 8, 2022 resignation request.

Could Big Tech Own Federally-Insured Banks? Here Are the Dangers
by Gunnar Larson 18 Oct '24

18 Oct '24

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2024/10/could-big-tech-own-federally-insured… By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: October 17, 2024 ~ Broken Piggy BankThe risk of Big Tech firms like Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), and Microsoft getting an entrée into the federally-insured banking system by being allowed to buy or create a federally-insured industrial bank has raised alarm bells among three nonprofit watchdogs and the law professor who, literally, wrote the book on the mushrooming systemic risks in the U.S. banking system. Arthur E. Wilmarth, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Law at George Washington University Law School, joined with the Consumer Federation of America, Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund, and the Center for Responsible Lending, to file an 18-page letter last Friday with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). (For background on Wilmarth’s seminal book, see our report: Everything this Book Predicted on Wall Street Megabanks Ruling their Regulators Is Now Unfolding.) Friday’s letter was in response to the FDIC’s proposal to improve oversight of so-called “industrial banks,” which are allowed to skirt the Congressional mandate that prohibits the mixing of banking and commerce. From 2006 to 2020, the FDIC had imposed a moratorium on new approvals of industrial banks. That moratorium was lifted in 2020. The letter reminds the FDIC of the recent history of emergency bailouts to the corporate parents of industrial banks, writing: “Several large corporate owners of industrial banks failed or were rescued by the federal government during the global financial crisis of 2007-09, and the total number of industrial banks fell from 58 in 2007 to 23 today. Four very large corporate owners of industrial banks—General Motors Acceptance Corp. (GMAC), Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley—received huge bailouts from the federal government to prevent their failures. A fifth major industrial bank owner—GE Capital—encountered very serious liquidity problems during the crisis and received extensive financial assistance from federal agencies. A sixth corporate industrial bank owner—CIT Group—failed in 2009, thereby wiping out $2.3 billion of taxpayer-funded assistance that CIT received from the federal government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)….” Big Tech already possesses vast, Orwellian profiles of consumers. The letter captures the threat of combining that with banking as follows: “Acquisitions of industrial banks by Big Tech firms would present a wide array of public policy issues, including concerns about unfair competition, exploitation of customer financial data, violations of customer privacy, and systemic risks resulting from ownership of FDIC-insured banks by giant technology firms. The combination of Big Tech companies’ massive datasets of consumer preferences and purchases with the extensive consumer financial information compiled by FDIC-insured industrial banks would greatly expand the reach of Big Tech firms into consumers’ finances by giving them greater insight into household income and spending patterns and would allow the combined firms to more fully exploit such data for commercial purposes while undermining consumer privacy. Further, Big Tech firms could condition or preference access by consumers and merchants to their digital commercial platforms or rewards programs on the willingness of those customers to use the financial services of their captive or shell industrial banks. Allowing a Big Tech firm to link its commercial platform with an industrial bank would allow the Big Tech firm to combine customer and merchant data to set bespoke, higher prices on transactions in the form of first-degree price discrimination that would benefit the platform while extracting unfair surplus value from consumers and merchants. The BHC Act [Bank Holding Company Act] prohibits banks from processing, storing, or sharing data that is not ‘financial, banking, or economic’ if that nonbanking data processing, storing, and transmission revenues exceed 49 percent of the bank’s total revenues, which would likely be the case with Big Tech shell or captive industrial banks.” The letter’s authors also foresee a competition war breaking out between Wall Street’s megabanks and Big Tech’s banks should the separation walls be removed between commerce and banking. They write: “Acquisitions of industrial banks by Big Tech firms would also generate intense political pressure on Congress to repeal the BHC Act’s restrictions on joint ownership of banks and commercial firms. Big Tech firms would not be satisfied with making ‘toehold’ acquisitions of industrial banks. They would push to build a bigger competitive presence in the U.S. financial industry by acquiring full-service commercial banks. Conversely, large commercial banks would argue that Congress must create a ‘level playing field’ that would allow commercial banks to acquire technology firms. Thus, allowing Big Tech firms to acquire industrial banks would probably lead to federal legislation allowing unrestricted combinations between giant technology firms and major banks. Such combinations would magnify the problems our nation already faces due to excessive levels of concentration and market power in our banking and information technology sectors as well as the dangerous political and regulatory influence that our technology giants and largest banks currently command and exploit.” The nonprofit watchdog, Public Citizen, has been ringing the alarm bells for years about the stealthy and dangerous combination of banking and commerce at JPMorgan Chase – the largest federally-insured bank in the United States with $3.5 trillion in assets as of June 30. See our report: Watchdog to Fed: JPMorgan Is Controlling Fossil Fuels Empire, Which Just Spilled a Million Gallons of Oil in Gulf of Mexico. These unprecedented concentrations of market power bring to mind what the late Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandeis, presciently stated: “We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.” If American democracy increasingly feels like an out-of-control kleptocracy to you, look no further than the Brandeis warning and the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision which opened the floodgates to corporate money in political campaigns. And for what Facebook already attempted to pull off in the financial system in 2019, but failed, see our report: Senator Compares Facebook’s Libra Association to Spectre in James Bond Movie.

Bank.org Concern of BitLicense Marketplace Manipulation

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XXSIkSVLZw4QnoFO4YqAMfN9L-pmkeCL5fpW-YJ… "From their California headquarters, Directors at PayPal (incl. Xoom) have potentially leveraged a Conditional BitLicense award in collaboration with common Directors at Facebook to engage in marketplace manipulation..." -- July 25, 2021 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 14420 Albemarle Point Place Suite 102 Chantilly, VA 20151-1750 ATTN: SEC TCR SUBMISSIONS Re: Bank.org Concern of BitLicense Marketplace Manipulation Dear Sir or Madam: Virtual currency fraud is a serious problem for such a developed country as the United States, whose bank regulators have drawn attention to the increase of these crimes. Having discovered that an unregulated virtual currency sphere (such as in Africa, or other developing markets) is very popular among virtual currency fraudsters, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NY-DFS) concluded that this kind of regulatory fraud was threatening U.S. national security. Bank.org’s NY-DFS Shelf Charter application journey has prompted us to contact the SEC with concern of common Directors at Facebook and PayPal (incl. Xoom) who have potentially manipulated the New York State Common Retirement Fund and New York State Teachers Retirement Fund through BitLicense marketplace manipulation tactics and computer crimes. Bank.org's key definition of virtual currency computer crimes is a consistent message across markets. These crimes are relatively new, having been in existence for only as long as Bitcoin has—which explains how unprepared society and the world, in general, is towards combating these crimes. We see this as no fault of NY-DFS and the original BitLicense mandate. Facebook and PayPal along with Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo have leveraged BitLicensee connections to profit daily from virtual currency market manipulation structures with cross-border reach. PayPal's “Conditional BitLicense” may now be employed as a marketplace manipulation instrument. Meanwhile, common Directors at Facebook, PayPal (incl. Xoom) and Diem seemingly have collaborated in orchestrating a virtual currency marketplace manipulation exercise. The New York State Common Retirement Fund and New York State Teachers Retirement Fund are significant investors in Facebook, PayPal, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo. From their California headquarters, Directors at PayPal (incl. Xoom) have potentially leveraged a Conditional BitLicense award in collaboration with common Directors at Facebook to engage in marketplace manipulation techniques. The Diem Association further shares common PayPal and Facebook Directors in a potential chain of virtual currency computer software and market manipulation architectures. Bank.org must take the necessary steps to guard against fraud and to be extra vigilant about manipulation. We seek SEC guidance on the aforementioned concerns as we organize a reputable Board of Directors for NY-DFS approval. Respectfully yours with appreciation, Gunnar Larson - xNY.io | Bank.org MSc - Digital Currency MBA - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> Date: Thu, Jul 4, 2024, 3:51 PM Subject: Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement To: cypherpunks <cypherpunks(a)lists.cpunks.org> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ajVVx6NGB9wd2GDXfLRftf0RVFpqjl8WWITvdNV… March 10, 2022 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Mr. John Marzulli United States Department of Justice Eastern District of New York 271 Cadman Plaza East Brooklyn New York, 11201 John.Marzulli(a)usdoj.gov Re: Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement Dear Mr. Marzulli: The Department of Justice has yet to respond to Memo #1, Memo #2 and Memo #3 with our recent inquiry to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad Deferred Agreement. Goldman Sachs' Deferred Prosecution Agreement <https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/goldman-sachs-resolves-foreign-bribery…> with the United States of America is in potential breach, with ethical enforcement being concerned. Memo #4 aims to associate the malfeasance in Malaysia with war crimes of aggression (in the planning, initiation, or execution of a large-scale and serious act of aggression), leveraging the world’s only military divided capital city Nicosia, Cyprus. 1. Additionally, Memo #4 aims to earn the DOJ’s assessment of New York State’s regulatory marketplace manipulation deriving the war crime against peace, related to the planning, preparation, initiation, waging or participation in a common plan or conspiracy related to a war of aggression, which can only apply in relation to international armed conflict. 2. In this case, the first challenge is to observe and consider the simple idea that the DOJ’s Deferred Prosecution Agreement with Goldman Sachs alone, through means of regulatory arbitrage naively fails to recognize the ‘cause and effect’ relationship at play at the inception of Memo #4’s assertion of war crimes. 3. Even with the best of intentions, perhaps unknowingly the DOJ may be amplifying the effect of potential war crimes by indirectly supplementing the root cause of the problem and financial model of the Deferred Agreement being self-policing. Mr. Marzulli, there has been an active United Nations peacekeeping mission in Cyprus since the 1964 Turkish military invasion and occupation of the northern third of Cyprus. Only Turkey recognises the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, while there is broad recognition that the ongoing military presence constitutes occupation of territories that are under Turkish military control. - The graduate education behind Memo #4 is a product of the University of Nicosia’s (UNIC) main campus, located adjacent to the United Nations Buffer Zone that separates the invaded Turkish Republic of North Cyprus and the Republic of Cyprus, which joined the European Union in 2004. - Memo #4 is also a product of United Nations consultancy, based at its Manhattan headquarters, where (today, what is now xNY.io - Bank.org) was credited with increasing the breadth and accessibility of reference content from the world’s most important multinational organization. - Memo #4’s subject of war crimes has preeminent association with such projects as the Audio Visual Library of International Law. Over the following sections, Memo #4 will provide a detailed timeline that would constitute real concern of the war crime of aggression yielding the war crime against peace in active war conflict in the world’s only military divided capital, funded from Manhattan Island. The Bank of Cyprus and Illegal Short Selling Irregularities of Turkey’s Markets Mr. Marzulli, turn this matter as we will, and look at it from any side whatsoever, and it presents the appearance of a cross-border act of aggression. Goldman Sachs’ potential disrespect to the Deferred Agreement’s core values has cultivated new crimes that aim to manipulate cross-border war crime regulatory frameworks. - On April 02, 2021 the Financial Times reported that Turkey fined Goldman Sachs over alleged irregularities in short selling, just a week after foreign investors pulled $1.9B from the country’s stock and bond markets. Turkey’s Capital Markets Board said that Goldman Sachs was among 10 securities firms that had placed orders for short selling without proper notification, violating rules enacted previously that temporarily prohibited such transactions. - On April 20, 2021 the CyprusMail (Cyprus’ only English Language daily newspaper) reported Goldman Sachs International acted as Global Coordinators and Dealer Managers in a $330M bond issuance for the Bank of Cyprus. Given the active military conflict in Cyprus, Memo #4 notes that there is one place on the planet you are not supposed to do this sort of thing. Furthermore, the DOJ’s Deferred Agreement with Goldman Sachs may have been tainted with the potential war crime of aggression, risking international peace and the lives of United Nations peacekeepers, while jeopardizing the United States of America’s financial security. Concern of New York Prime Bank Instrument Fraud and Marketplace Manipulation The United States Department of the Treasury warns that Prime Bank Instrument Fraud schemes have attracted significant international attention, since individuals and organizations have lost billions of dollars worldwide. "Prime Bank Instrument Fraud" is the general term given to prime bank fraud schemes that go by many different names. During April 2021, Goldman Sachs could not in good faith (and, plausible deniability) make any reasonable claim of holding a pristine relationship with Turkey’s Central Bank or with Cyprus’ largest financial institutions, given the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal and then pending Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the United States of America. - Memo #4 suggests that Goldman Sachs developed a Prime Bank Instrument Fraud program to level out yo-yo market dynamics caused by failed marketplace manipulation exercises in Turkey and Cyprus. - Systematic bank fraud and/or marketplace manipulation of any kind between Turkey and Cyprus could constitute the war crime of aggression. - Furthermore, Memo #4 argues that Goldman Sachs may have tried to bambooze governments in New York, Cyprus and Turkey through regulatory arbitrage loopholes, while Goldman seemingly may have not considered the totality of such actions as war crimes. Turkey has the highest inflation in Europe. It has the second-highest rate of inflation among emerging markets, just behind Argentina. It has the 13th highest inflation rate in the world, ranking it between South Sudan and Nigeria. After Goldman Sachs was fined for illegal stock and bond market short selling by the Turkish government, logic would argue further malfeasance potentially could have been avoided by the DOJ’s 1Malaysia Development Berhad investigation. - On April 15, 2021 CNBC reported that Goldman Sachs (note, the previous section’s milestones of April 02, 2021 and April 20, 2021) crucially removed its bias toward Turkey tightening interest rates. Goldman issued guidance highlighting the fact that the bank thought that, “…the removal of the tightening bias against rising inflation expectations suggests that the TCMB (Turkish Central Bank) now has a more dovish reaction function.” - On August 14, 2021 the CyprusMail reported serious concern among economists about data reporting from the Turkish Statistical Institute. Ahmet Takan, a former official with the office of the Turkish prime minister, acted as a whistle blower, warning that Turkey potentially was manipulating inflation data. - On September 1, 2021 Reuters reported that Goldman Sachs hiked Turkish growth forecasts. Goldman economists issued guidance stating, "Overall, the Turkish economy has been able to grow faster than we thought without a deterioration in its external balances, as the pickup in foreign demand has been very supportive." - On November 30, 2021 Reuters reported that Goldman Sachs trimed Turkey’s 2022 growth forecast. Goldman Sachs' Murat Unur stated, "We think that the GDP figures released today tell us little about the pace of economic activity going forward as the recent sell-off in the Lira is likely to impact economic activity significantly" Mr. Marzulli, the DOJ’s Deferred Prosecution Agreement with Goldman Sachs was signed on October 21, 2021. The timeline of events above do not coincide with terms and conditions of the Deferred Agreement mandated by the United States of America. Furthermore, as an international graduate scholars of the world’s only military divided capital on the planet, xNY.io - Bank.org should be protected from any association of crimes against peace, related to the planning, preparation, initiation, waging or participation in a common plan or conspiracy related to a war of aggression, which can only apply in relation to international armed conflict. War Crimes Against Humanity Mr. Marzulli, xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned that potential breaches to the Deferred Agreement are impacting our global enterprise. Crimes against humanity can be committed in peacetime as well as during an armed conflict. Even a single act could fall under this exclusion ground provided it forms part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population and the act is committed by any person (including a civilian) who had knowledge of the attack and the link of the act to the attack. 1. We are looking to learn more about the DOJ’s approach to assessing any potential breaches to the Deferred Agreement’s mandates as we determine New York State’s role in cross-border bank regulation and corresponding innovation beyond war crimes against humanity. 2. In order to establish whether a war crime or a crime against humanity has been committed, the case officer should consult the relevant international instruments and case law. 3. Crimes against humanity are fundamentally inhumane acts, committed as part of a systematic or widespread attack. Inhumane acts, which could reach this threshold when committed pursuant to or in furtherance of a State or organizational policy (potentially, New York State bank regulation). 4. Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender, or other grounds that are universally recognised as impermissible under international law. 5. Furthermore, we have made 28 highlights to the Deferred Agreement providing supporting reference to Memo #4’s overarching premise. xNY.io - Bank.org submits Memo #4 for DOJ consideration of other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health. Some crimes against humanity would require an additional specific intent, such as Goldman Sachs willfully disrespecting New York State and/or overall peace and security of the United States of America. Memo #1, Memo #2, Memo #3 and Memo #4 outline instances that correspond with the associated definitions of the potential war crimes abroad and jeopardize the future of bank innovation from New York, at great sacrifice to the Homeland. We hope to learn the DOJ’s approach to comment on Memo #4’s subject matter or, without delay refer these concerns to the International Criminal Court and/or International Court of Justice for comment.

SpaceX Interlocking Directors’ Intent to Manipulate Markets
by Gunnar Larson 18 Oct '24

18 Oct '24

Attorney General James: On November 2, 2023 xNY.io - Bank.org contacted your esteemed office with intent to execute N.Y. Executive Law, Article 15 § 297. Procedure 1. Additionally, § 298-a. Application of article to certain acts committed outside the state of New York, (Israel Crisis). Given several factors, we are reasonably confident in your office and the FBI knowing why xNY.io - Bank.org would seek to engage New York Human Rights Law. As an alumni of United Nations Headquarters in New York, I left the UN as a producer of the Audio Visual Library of International Law. Attorney General James, Nicosia, Cyprus is the only military divided capital city in the world (invaded by Turkey), with active UN Peacekeeping Mission, and is where I have earned my graduate education. When starting my second graduate degree in Cyprus, it is my understanding that the FBI in New York became aware of xNY.io - Bank.org. xNY.io - Bank.org is under investigation by New York for all the logical reasons. However, we are not virtual currency market manipulators and it seems NY-DFS is blaming xNY.io - Bank.org for leading a virtual currency RICO defense. Today we again contact your office seeking New York State Executive Law (Article 15), Human Rights Law as jurisdictional prudence. § 298-a. Application of article to certain acts committed outside the state of New York covers xNY.io - Bank.org various abuses against our enterprise. Furthermore, recent events show that New York State's Attorney General has greater powers than the United Nations in protecting New Yorkers from potential financial crimes. The June 18, 2022 memo below is one such example. xNY.io - Bank.org hopes your esteemed office understands that the dealmakers mentioned in the memo below also bank the United Nations. The flow of money has certainly affected xNY.io - Bank.org with unlawful surveillance, market manipulation and threats. xNY.io - Bank.org will never be deterred and is now motivated more than ever. That said, Attorney General James your office is key to providing New York State greater innovation potential than the United Nations (and New York banks associated). For example, Craig Mokhiber was director of the New York office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, but last week quit his post over the Israel-Hamas war: https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/11/09/exp-craig-mokhiber-un-human-rig… . xNY.io - Bank.org hopes any virtual currency RICO in New York State will not impact potental obstruction, given commuated conflicts. Furthermore, New York City Mayor Adams' situation could be a postive pathway in creative thinking if we are to be proactive problem solvers. Given several factors, we must engage funding to protect xNY.io - Bank.org's interests.
