Besides senior bank executives, has any individual or SME had a positive experience with Financial Cockup Authority ( #FCA )? Bank executives love FCA because they enable asset stripping & generic pillaging. But I want to be fair, so I want to hear other side too. Anyone?

@BankConfidenti1 @Julia04352962 @TransparencyTF @jameshurley @thetimes @TheFCA Andrew Bailey was CEO of FCA when he sent a minion to lie at my trial. Evidence 'overwhelming' that #Deutschebank and FCA, as well as #DOJ / #FBI , were complicit in framing of innocent people to cover up THEIR OWN actions. 'Framed' is operative word here.

@Amy_K_Nelson @seattletimes Too many times lawyers get a free pass for doing HORRIBLE things. What makes it easy for them is their anonymity. That is why we ALL need to name and shame them. Thank you @Amy_K_Nelson , they need to feel the pain they convey to us for once. My mantra as well.

I won't make any fans from UK bank equity holders (like I give a shit), but I'd suggest all the UK bank profits for next 5 years go to paying all the 1000's of valid SME and individual claims that have been ignored/whitewashed by these useless panels, committees and regulators.

@andyverity Judges/lawyers having discretion to interpret market rules is the problem here. In the US, CFTC lawyers fucked #Libor up initially in 2012. In 2022, US courts admitted they got it wrong. Dropped charges & vacated guilty PLEAS. UK culture of #coverup and #chumocracy still stubborn

@andyverity @BBCSounds Nice work Andy. Biggest #coverup in financial history. Same crew in UK banking/govt gets away with scandal after scandal. Then people are outraged when it keeps repeating itself. Don't expect it to change if you keep accepting it.

@joseph7gonzales @Techno_Fog @redsteeze I get more facts and backing documents/evidence here...That's important. The real evidence to back up the story. Not some reporters slant through "unnamed sources." MSM outlets lost credibility.

I think the first step in the US and UK is to stop REWARDING people for lying. Punish them instead. Punishment can take many forms. Rewarding lies begets more lies. I'm a simple man, I know.

My lawyers did the most amazing job showing appeal board the OVERWHELMING evidence of what was allowed and what was not in Libor. The bar for them to overcome is very high, so to be unanimously fully acquitted on appeal quite rare... and a testament to their craft. Not done yet.

And then of course in January 2022, a US appeal court ruled the traders had done nothing wrong and criticised in a very fundamental way the prosecution’s case. Matt and Gavin Black were exonerated and his risky decision to publish returned a handsome reward.

Since most times #FCA is complicit in the wrongdoing, it needs to toe the line. Powerful in UK view the banking system as "untouchable" beacon of financial power from island nation. Heard sentiment multiple times listening to audio from my #Libor case.

@ReutersFacts I would have LOVED for there to have been cameras at my 2018 #Deutschebank #Libor trial. Especially during my attorney's opening arguments when the ceiling of the courtroom collapsed. In general, I feel there should be cameras to keep all parties 'honest'... Too many lies allowed

Last week after a particularly nasty and multiple #Deutschebank rant, I got a DM: "I'm sorry, but I have to mute you." My response: "No worries mate. I would mute me too. I'm surprised you lasted this long." Thanks for listening to those that are left.

Could not be happier that the #PostOfficeScandal is finally getting the attention that it deserves. Victims need to be compensated, and perpetrators of cover up(s) need to be prosecuted. Maybe for once UK can do the right thing by its citizens...

@adamhousley Patriot act was when the #DOJ / #FBI started to come off the rails. Too much power always abused, that is why we used to have checks & balances. The road to ruin is always paved with good intentions.

History suggests "sprawling" investigations such as #Libor end the same way. After dust has settled and the blood is out of the water, a party with no agenda will pick at the carcass to separate the truth from the untruths.I applaud that effort. The race is on. A #Pulitzer awaits

It's the revolving door. The elites and those in power take care of their own, the rest of us are expendable. THAT is the way it works. Power, education ties, £££ stay together. The rest of us pay the price. 100% how UK operates.

Unfortunately it boils down to 1 simple issue - UK GVT, HMT, FCA, SFO, NCA, BoE, PRA etc. will all gang together, to cover up criminality in the City & scapegoat anyone who speaks out. What a disgracefully corrupt country we live in!

Got NJ Grand Juror summons. I'd never be accepted so I emailed court clerk (w/ this article attached): "I will show up, but take my word for it, you do NOT want me anywhere near your court." Heard back 10 min later: "You are excused." Mission accomplished

The only people that knew more about #Deutschebank 's balance sheet than me are dead. Numbers don't lie. As I wrote in 'Target' in 2018, I already knew in 2016 when DB almost went under that they had cash & time and would survive. I read doc 2 nights ago that clicked last tumbler.

@CNN #Deutschebank may slowly surprising to the upside over next few years as the 'Anshu's Idiots' pump-and-dump scheme trades start to roll off in coming years. "favorable accounting treatment" to taking profits up front, losses later were what they were known for. Ask Monte Paschi

Judge: “I am, therefore, not at all inclined to participate in what Mr. Connolly undoubtedly perceives as the [ #DOJ / #FBI ] continued persecution of him by ordering him to certify that he has destroyed the grand jury materials he gave to his new attorneys”.
