We appreciate your office's continued innovation approach to our communications with NY-DFS. Ms. Tomczak, however, we did not receive an update yesterday on our dignified Apple Card records request launched two years ago. xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned that any further delay in receiving these Apple Card records could impact our global business enterprise. When does NY-DFS anticipate any potential update on the Apple Card records request in the spirit of innovation?

Dear Ms. Tomczak:

Concerning the Apple Card records mentioned in your letter dated July 25, 2023, today xNY.io - Bank.org kindly seeks an update on this important matter.

Mitigating all risk, we do not want the Apple Card scenario to further complicate excess D&O matters at xNY.io - Bank.org. As I understand it, the Eastern District of New York has a deferred agreement with Apple Card that NY-DFS' character and fitness guidelines require xNY.io - Bank.org to respect.

We are not exactly sure on the deferred agreement's expiration date, it may have been within the last two weeks. If the date has expired, xNY.io - Bank.org would need NY- DFS to further facilitate a copy of correspondence with the Eastern District of New York, given the nature of federal and international law expressed by the deferred agreement (fun fact, I was a founding producer of the UN's Audio Visual Library of International Law).

Does NY-DFS have an update on the Apple Card concern?

If not, can you please provide xNY.io - Bank.org confirmation that NY-DFS has communicated with the Eastern District of New York and that we are not party to the deferred agreement's scope of influence by EOD tomorrow, February 14, 2024?

Thank you,

Gunnar

Ms. Tomczak:

Hope you are well. Can you please update xNY.io - Bank.org on our Apple Card records request?

Ms. Tomczak, this matter has been going on over 600 days. It involves a D&O condition of the past Superintendent. We have a similar problem concerning another D&O matter that Ms. James and Ms. Harris are aware of.
