“Ohio-based coin shop owner took to social media this week to inform the world that his regional bank, where he has been a customer in good standing for many years, shut down all six of his business and personal bank accounts…”

Damning allegations connecting President Joe Biden to political corruption are gaining traction from recent attention on a 2018 text message supposedly from Hunter Biden, where he confesses to covering his father’s expenses for more than a decade. Initially disclosed by Fox News on Tuesday, the text messages, dated April 12, 2018, are directly connected to a conversation between Hunter and his assistant, Katie Dodge, about two bills from AT&T and Wells Fargo. The infamous exchange commenced with Hunter claiming his Wells Fargo account had “shut” him out. “Too many cooks in the kitchen,” Hunter stated. “Too many profile changes and...

Earlier this month, talk show host and former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage wrote an editorial in The Telegraph titled, “After my banking travails, I fear Britain is lost,” detailing his nightmare experiences with NatWest, one of Britain’s biggest banks. Farage told the tale of his accounts being deleted and his friends, family, and business associates being harassed for their political beliefs.PJ Media’s Athena Thorne covered Farage’s allegations.He goes on to detail his financial ostracization as bank after bank refused to accept his business, and he gives examples of other politicians — always conservative — to whom it has also...

@TiceRichard COUTTS BANK SCANDAL I hope the furore over Nigel’s bank account is such that no other bank will be daft enough to try anything similar Once again Nigel has done the nation a great service. People have been knighted or enobled for less….

An Anglican vicar has slammed Yorkshire Building Society for closing his account after he accused them of promoting gender ideology. Rev Richard Fothergill, a longstanding customer with the building society, wrote to them in June to complain about their public messaging during Pride month. The 62-year-old says within four days, he received a reply telling him his internet savings account would be closed, The Times reports. Rev Fothergill, of Windermere, Cumbria, has since accused the banking giant of 'bullying' and said: 'I wasn't even aware that our relationship had a problem. They are a financial house – they are not...

Iranian women who resist the hijab law face the brutal prospect of frozen bank accounts, drawing chilling parallels to the repressive tactics of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau against protestors. Iran is intensifying its efforts to enforce strict dress codes for women by instituting a new law that fines women 2.5 billion rials ($60,000) for flouting hijab rules. Last month, Iran’s judiciary chief reiterated that “removing one’s hijab is equivalent to showing enmity to the Islamic Republic.” This is all part of the Islamic Republic’s adherence to the Sharia, as it ramps up efforts even further to counter protests. The Quranic...

* Emails from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, obtained by DailyMail.com, reveal Joe and Hunter shared bank accounts and paid each other's bills * The president have may have inadvertently funded his son's 2018 drug and prostitution binge * Emails between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, his business partner at consultancy Rosemont Seneca, show Schwerin was working on Joe's taxes * The claim raises serious questions about whether funds from the joint accounts were used for Hunter's May 2018 week-long bender with a prostitute * Last December, Hunter admitted in a public statement that he was under federal investigation over his tax...

President Biden has long demanded that the wealthy "pay their 'fair share' of taxes," which raises the question: What is "fair," and who decides what is "fair"? Is it honest brokers? Or ideologically driven fascists such as the Soviets, who caused the great Ukrainian famine of 1932–1933, when the then-ruling communists decided it was "fair" to take everything the people they branded "kulaks" had? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? as the Roman Juvenal noted.In Biden's Sept. 16 speech about the economy, fair taxes, and the China virus, Biden extended his anti-rich rhetoric into dangerous waters. He accused the top 1% and...

Conservative commentator Nick Fuentes, who said he was in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6 but was nowhere near the Capitol building when things escalated, said that the FBI has raided his bank account, taking $500,000 which he has no legal recourse to recover, a report said. Nick Fuentes Fuentes, the 23-year-old host of the live-streamed America First program, said he had attended President Donald Trump’s rally on Jan. 6, which he called a “civil First Amendment protected demonstration,” and added that the FBI and Department of Justice are investigating him even though he was not at the Capitol when the...

They would have called him a lot more than that. Obama on Trump: “He’s got a secret Chinese bank account. How’s that possible? Listen, can you imagine if had a secret Chinese bank account when I was running for reelection? You think Fox News might’ve been a little concerned? They would’ve called me Beijing Barry.” pic.twitter.com/yDzGr4cS5x— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 21, 2020 He’s referring to the story the NYT ran last night, the latest in its series scrutinizing Trump’s mysteriously obtained alleged tax returns. And it turns out that China is one of only three foreign nations — the...

Dolores Nielsen, 91, kept an emergency savings account for years. But her hands-off approach caused her trouble. Her bank, SunTrust, declared her account dormant in April and closed the account. She's been trying since August to get her money. "I'm terribly worried," Nielsen said. "My savings have lost so much in value since I retired as it is, and it's very stressful for me." The account had more than $72,000. Dolores' daughter, Barbara, turned to Better Call Behnken for help, after trying for months to get the money and getting the runaround. She says the bank told her the state...

This revelation itself would be enough in any other society where justice still exists for prosecution.This email shows clearly the collusion between the DNC and the Clinton camp,which is (by current US laws,and the DNC’s own rules) illegal.Bernie Sanders and his movement never had a chance in this unfair,rigged game! The email was sent by Robby Mook,Clinton’s presidential campaign manager : (for the full email please click on the link below)

The unintentional withdrawals are the latest embarrassment for an agency that has tried to make improvements after years of criticism amid high-profile improprieties and questions about how well it safeguards taxpayers' financial information. . . It took several calls to his bank before he found out that the D.C. government had cleaned out the account — leaving him with an overdraft fee. "The money was basically stolen from me. You expect this from the bad guys," he said. "You don't expect this from your government."

Nothing has defined Carly Forina's presidential campaign quite like her outspoken opposition to Planned Parenthood — a point she has brought up repeatedly at debates and press conferences. It might seem odd, then, that her Fiorina Foundation has given half a million dollars to Planned Parenthood since 2011. The Fiorina Foundation isn't actually, legally, a foundation, per se; it's an account Fiorina and her husband hold with The Ayco Charitable Foundation, a "donor-advised fund" that stashes charitable donations for clients in case they want to quickly receive tax benefits, The Daily Beast explains. One expert on the topic described it...

A top contender for the Republican presidential nomination cashed out his retirement savings to pay some nagging bills for a broken refrigerator, air-conditioning unit, and his kids' private-school tuition. According to The Washington Post, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) sold $68,241 worth of retirement funds in September after bills began piling up at home. It's a risky move since it incurs a significant tax penalty. “It means that he is probably on some level living above his means, because he is borrowing against his future,” Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff told The Post. When asked about his finances on Fox News,...

This one came as enough of a surprise to me that it seemed worth sharing. I’ve long been aware that there are limits on cash transactions taking place at banks beyond which the deal has to be reported to the IRS. You run into the same thing at casinos, though I have never won anywhere near enough money to need to worry about reporting it. This is an annoying, but I will agree, necessary function which used to allow law enforcement to track down drug dealers and organized crime entities who were dealing in large, untraceable cash deals. But...

Bank error not in your favor, right? Like in Monopoly? You know how the Banks are constantly screwing over the People, just because they get off on it sexually? Here's a good example of that: Ann Wiley is trying to get to the bottom of the error, but no one knows how it happened. She says three separate instances of $100 million charges to her account have frozen her assets. Sun Trust Bank told Wiley the problem was with the Department of Revenue. Even though this is obviously a glitch that seems like it should be easily solvable, it has...

So exactly how did the big banks in Cyprus get into so much trouble? Well, they have been doing exactly what hundreds of other large banks all over the U.S. and Europe have been doing. They have been gambling with our money. In particular, the big banks in Cyprus made huge bets on Greek sovereign debt which ended up failing.But what happened in Cyprus is just the tip of the iceberg. All over the planet major financial institutions are being incredibly reckless with client money. They are leveraged to the hilt and they have transformed the global financial system into...

Don't be surprised when the global elite confiscate money from your bank account one day. They are already very clearly telling you that they are going to do it. Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem is the president of the Eurogroup - an organization of eurozone finance ministers that was instrumental in putting together the Cyprus "deal" - and he has said publicly that what has just happened in Cyprus will serve as a blueprint for future bank bailouts. What that means is that when the chips are down, they are going to come after YOUR money. So why should anyone...

The latest executive order (EO) emanating from the White House October 9 now claims the power to freeze all bank accounts and stop any related financial transactions that a “sanctioned person” may own or try to perform — all in the name of “Iran Sanctions.” Titled an “Executive Order from the President regarding Authorizing the Implementation of Certain Sanctions…” the order says that if an individual is declared by the president, the secretary of state, or the secretary of the treasury to be a “sanctioned person,” he (or she) will be unable to obtain access to his accounts, will be...
