[Everett Stern @EverettStern1]

Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent,

My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov.

The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison.

I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return.

I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something.

Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act.

Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged.

Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working.

A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats.

This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried.

There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go.

Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him.

I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them.

This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one.

Three things would change the math overnight.

Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined.

End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.

And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them.

Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine.

I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it.

Respectfully,

Everett A. Stern

First we found out Jack Smith spied on the Senate’s phone calls.

Then he was caught spying on Trump’s Chief of Staff, Melania and Barron.

Now it was just revealed that he kept a spreadsheet with the personal information of at least 639,000 Trump supporters who bought MAGA Hats.

He needs to be prosecuted for violations of our Constitutional rights.

This is insane.

@AzPinkLady @WethePeopleAZA1 How many times is this going to happen before somebody puts a stop to it? America is sick of this shit. Democrats can't win without cheating.

🚨🚨🚨 RED ALERT

Breaking News.

Shelby Robinson (Busch) @WethePeopleAZA1 on Why We Vote with & has just broken some news.

I clipped out the bombshell parts. I recommend you listen to the entire interview. Link in next post.

1. Ramirez left the building with the flash drives & the keys to the port blockers.

2. Ramirez was on the same adjudication server all day inserting flash drives - not to update one computer - everything is connected

3. Multiple people were inserting flash drives in that computer all day - alone in the room!

4. The keys to everything in the tabulation building are to be locked & a log maintained. That drawer was not locked and MULTIPLE people were seen access the keys throughout the day.

5. The port blockers were not properly locked as required after L&A

6. Any changes made to the system must go through the SOS who must sign off that the change was necessary, exactly what was done, & that it was certified. In 2022 when changes were identified, this paperwork was not provided.

7. @azjustinheap & staff have NO access to this room.

8. The “live feeds” the BOS provides times out every 26 seconds - you can only view 4 at a time & they time out - so much for transparency.

In Lakes trial the BOS learned that WTP were recording those feeds. If you recall, I pointed out before that when Richer was still around they moved cameras so you cannot see what anyone was doing on the computer (adjudication & signature verification)

Not in this clip: the county attorney contacted Shelby & wanted to know her source. Obviously, she did not give it to them.

This problem is WAY worse than initially reported (one guy one time). No, it’s Ramirez all day & multiple other people, with chain of custody broken & security logs not maintained.

This is completely unacceptable. “Security & protections” have been completely obliterated.

An L&A,which experts have said can be manipulated, will not suffice. A forensic expert needs to step in & completely determine what took place.

The FBI, DOJ & DHS has been notified. @PeteHegseth @AGToddBlanche @AAGDhillon where are you?

This is a pattern of behavior with the BOS. As Shelby points out, Pinal county had last minute changes on ES&S. Georgia & other states had the same issues.

We CANNOT let this stand!

It’s getting real

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@NotAvgLiberal How do you know that was a woman? Did you ask them their pronouns?

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@grok @GuntherEagleman @grok can you live without water and energy?

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@grok @GuntherEagleman Lol, ok Grok.

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@KarluskaP I seriously want to know how they know that that was a woman.

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@RenzTom How do you know that's a dude?

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@CodeMonkeyZ Ron, come on, isn't it a little early to tell? You must be being facetious.

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@jamestalarico That's exactly what you are doing.

[Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut]

This Somali Trash was rejoicing when President Trump was indicted.

Karma, you POS!!!! Karma!

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@AmericaPapaBear I like how we are at least honest about what we see.

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@AmericaPapaBear She has big shoes to fill and hopefully she will get her stride. Today was not great, thankfully it was short. She just needs to stop all the pausing in the middle of sentences and make sure she knows answers like Karoline did. We don't need another Circle Back Girl.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

This is 100% true. That's how ridiculous these insane liberal women are. They're crazy.

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@NHdacash @RudyGiuliani Let's hope so! Good grief, it reminds me of the Circle Back Girl. We need another Karoline!

[For Truth and Justice @UnderGod37]

@hauserdan How many Americans had their vote canceled due to all the election fraud? If we can't choose who represent us then we don't have a country.
