*I can't be certain that Gunnar Larson's First Republic story is bigger than Nigel's. I may need to hire Mr. Farage as an expert witness and Bradley (because I know a fund we can raid).* *Anyway, we have dug our heels in at First Republic until they make a deposit into my nice new FRB account. :)* *Long live Brody. * *----* *Nigel Farage Coutts bank scandal* occurred in June 2023 when the private bank Coutts <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coutts> closed the account held by the British broadcaster and former politician Nigel Farage <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Farage>. NatWest <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NatWest>, the owner of Coutts, initially claimed that he failed to meet the Coutts eligibility criteria of holding £1,000,000 or more in his account, following the expiry of his mortgage. NatWest instead offered him an account with the retail side of the bank. After Farage went to the press about the closure, it was discovered that Coutts had closed Farage's account as they deemed him to be "at best seen as xenophobic and pandering to racists". Following media attention, the NatWest CEO, Dame Alison Rose resigned. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Farage_Coutts_bank_scandal ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gunnar Larson <g@xny.io> Date: Fri, Jan 19, 2024, 8:19 AM Subject: Fwd: FOIL Request Confirmation from Open FOIL NY - First Republic Bankk Collusion Conflicts Ceck To: <cypherpunks@cpunks.org> Brody of Wall Street.
