NAACP, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and PayPal Collusion

*Description*

Dear Madam or Sir: We would like to receive any and all records concerning
NAACP, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and PayPal collusion, where facts and
figures beg the question of coordinated systematic racism associated with
PayPal's conditional Bitlicense award. We would like to receive any records
that would indicate NY-DFS' insights into both PayPal and Wells Fargo
partnering to organize a clear scheme to profit off of New York's minority
population (according to the details below). We would like to receive any
and all records that indicate New York State NOT choosing to ignore the
relevant facts associated with this matter. Furthermore, we would like to
receive any and all records that indicate the New York State Retirement
Fund is not being leveraged as a key investor in the associated scheme.
Below kindly find detail that supports this records request: *March 11,
2022:* Bloomberg reported that Wells Fargo approved fewer than half of
Black applicants were approved by the biggest bank mortgage lender:
