Open Letter to Tim Cook on Apple Card's Goldman Sachs Scandal [Women's Civil/Human Rights]
Dear Mr. Tim Cook: Bank.org invites Apple to radically innovate Apple Card. Goldman Sachs has a history of poor ethical stewardship, at the global level. Similarly, New York's former Governor Andrew Cuomo and NY-DFS Superintendent Linda Lacewell are now world famous for women's rights (you know the story). On March 23, 2021, Lacewell published NY-DFS' Findings on Apple Card and its. Underwriter Goldman Sachs Bank. Mr. Cook, former Superintendent of NY-DFS, Ms. Linda Lacewell's stone faced propaganda assured that Apple Card did not discriminate against women, while under Goldman Sachs management. Ms. Lacewell said <https://www.dfs.ny.gov/reports_and_publications/press_releases/pr202103231> , “The report also notes that the use of credit scoring in its current form and laws and regulations barring discrimination in lending are in need of strengthening and modernization to improve access to credit. Consumer frustration with the Apple Card policy of not permitting an account holder to add an authorized user drew attention to the following: a person who relies on a spouse's access to credit, and only accesses those accounts as an authorized user, may incorrectly believe they have the same credit profile as the spouse. This is one part of a broader discussion we must have about equal credit access.” xNY.io recently collated 61 highlights to the Report on Apple Card Investigation from March 2021: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xH16OKyuXzB-MVqIznMWDE9w8RRdmZCw/view?usp=s... . Mr. Cook, the Apple Card investigation was to assess women's access to equitable finance. March 2021 also saw New York State Attorney General Letitia James' formal green light to launch an independent investigation into sexual harassment allegations <https://nypost.com/2021/02/27/second-woman-accuses-gov-andrew-cuomo-of-sexual-harassment-report/> lodged against Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Lacewell's legacy is authoring reports disparaging women. As such, the integrity of the Apple Card investigation must be rationally considered as flawed. Likewise, Goldman Sach has a history of unethical posturing on matters specific to women and girls (via global regulatory arbitrage structures). Mr. Cook, Peter Oppenheimer is Apple's former CFO and in 2014 joined Goldman Sachs' board of directors and serves on key committees such as Audit (Chair), Governance, Risk. There is no logical reason for Apple to trust the Apple Card report and your former CFO is well aware of the legacy of Goldman's unethical antics and regulatory arbitrage frameworks that take advantage of the world's most vulnerable populations. Mr. Cook, at the very least, it is now clear the former superintendent is famous for publishing reports that disperage women. Salacious as this may sound, all this is true and we cannot ignore the facts of the matter. What would Steve Jobs say? Apple Card can innovate the market globally. Mr. Cook, Apple Card should consider moving to Bank.org to make history. This is a smart pivot for you. We invite Apple to join Bank.org as we build the World's Best Bank. Sending you the very best regards.
