A very good morning to the staff at @shengsiong_ supermarkets, Singapore. Delivering extremely speedy and cheerful customer service, while simultaneously redirecting customers who join the queue AT THE FRONT OF THE QUEUE with utmost politeness. It’s quite a feat. 🙇♀️🙏🙏
@jokieliu Isn’t it weird and wild how people tear down women like Eileen Gu for having fully earned confidence — yet our “leaders” who are proven liars, abusers, conmen and cheats aren’t even fact checked at a basic level.
I run compliance at Deutsche Bank.
My job is to make sure we follow the rules.
I'm very good at my job.
In 2013, a junior analyst flagged a series of transactions.
The transactions were unusual.
The client was unusual.
The client was Jeffrey Epstein.
The analyst wrote a report.
The report was thorough.
It named the client.
It named the transactions.
It named the pattern.
I read the report.
I flagged it.
Not the transactions.
The analyst.
She was "not a cultural fit."
That's not a banking term.
It's an HR term.
HR is where compliance sends its problems.
The transactions continued.
The analyst did not.
For six years, the account remained open.
I signed off on it quarterly.
Quarterly review means I looked at the numbers.
The numbers were large.
Large numbers are good for the bank.
Good numbers don't get flagged.
That's the system.
In 2019, the client was arrested.
I learned this from the news.
Not from our compliance system.
Our compliance system doesn't flag arrests.
It flags analysts.
The client died in custody.
That simplified things.
Dead clients don't generate new transactions.
Existing transactions were already approved.
By me.
In 2023, we paid $75 million.
That sounds like a lot.
It is not a lot.
We made more than that from the account.
The settlement included no admission of wrongdoing.
We admitted nothing.
That is what $75 million buys.
Not innocence.
Silence.
The analyst who flagged the account in 2013 was not part of the settlement.
She was not rehired.
She was not compensated.
She was not mentioned.
She was right in 2013.
She is still unemployed in 2026.
I am still employed.
I was promoted in 2021.
The promotion was for "excellence in risk management."
I managed the risk.
The risk was the analyst.
Now the files are public.
People are reading names.
They are reading transaction records.
They are reading the report the analyst wrote in 2013.
The report I flagged.
The report that got her fired.
It says everything.
It said everything then.
Nobody read it.
I read it.
I flagged the analyst.
The transactions continued.
The analyst did not.
That is compliance.
I have a plaque on my desk.
It says "Integrity First."
It came with the promotion.
@OldLondonW14@MichaelRosenYes I noticed something similar looking at Sydney (Aus) data 2-4yrs ago. Certain highly affluent areas had ⤵️ in uptake - same areas noted to be embracing pop “wellness” misinformation over science. Any whiff of perceived risk = other people’s kids can take it.
@RealEmirHan I read that quote and sensed she was not speaking literally, she was joking. It’s as though she was actually saying “I’m sick of [acting out] doing xyz…”. She’s not known for oversharing. Clickbait?
I am so hopping mad that twitter is limiting the visibility of this post.
Seriously, if you are seeing it, and you appreciate it, please repost it so other people can too.

@realBraam_B Ivermectin claims - can’t help with anti parasite data or claims about Covid. I’m skeptical. What does it have to do with cardiac impacts of Covid?
@realBraam_B@T42andU4me@corruptario The reference list in this article is worth a read: https://t.co/PzIlSerVmy
The journal has a double-blind external peer‐review process

That’s a very recent publication, it’s interesting. There are so many studies. I am loathe to suggest Chat GPT but if you genuinely can’t find any via google (and I can’t understand why that would be), chat might be a good avenue
I wrote something on Substack recently, about the need for medics to talk about COVID when flu is on the agenda.

@tashawrites@Fiona_Hendriks@o_bel_ Maybe you’ve found the right balance of everything, fresh air, space, time outdoors without risk from crowded indoor spaces
@tashawrites@Fiona_Hendriks@o_bel_ I’ve spoken to school mums who apparently don’t know anyone affected by Covid - but they know me (4.5yrs of invisible strain w POTS PEM etc). I really appreciate maskers. Left NHS work 9 months ago; the pressure to deny the harm of Covid was insidious - ppl stop seeing illness
@brownecfm Every female I know who has engaged their GP about brain fog - it’s perimenopause, menopause, or normal aging (in the case of my 89 yr old mother in law) 🫣🤷🏼♀️. Bring up Covid and the response is always the same “well if Covid can do this why aren’t they telling us?”
@brownecfm Husband tested + for Covid 10 days ago. Out running yesterday it came up in convo with someone he’d cancelled plans with. The guy said “you had tests in your cupboard?! How very old fashioned of you!”.
