Trump Fines Bank of America $1.2 <i>Billion</i> Over Money Laundering for China

Trump Fines Bank of America $1.2 Billion Over Money Laundering for China

Bank of America is one of the worst offenders for closing bank accounts for conservative and religious groups, claiming that working for such groups causes them too much "reputational risk."

They debanked people to curry favor with the Biden gangsters.

But working with China to launder money and evade sanctions? No reputation risk worth talking about.

The Treasury Department said Tuesday it is fining Bank of America $1.2 billion for allegedly violating anti-money laundering and sanctions laws.
The department accused the bank of failing to report and mitigate notable national security risks, including Chinese Money Laundering Networks and suspected "illicit finance along the southwest border."
It also failed to report more than $5 billion in suspicious activity to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
...
The department said Bank of America also reached an $11.6 million settlement with its Office of Foreign Assets Control over "apparent violations of numerous sanctions programs, including on Iran, Russia, narcotics, and global terrorism."
The $1.2 billion penalty includes $750 million that will go to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is the largest fine ever imposed by that agency.

Update: Via Biden's dog sniffs a lot of marlarkey, a previous bank whistleblower who said that a fine that barely impacts BoA's profits is not enough.

People --even the rich white collar corporate types that pay money to both parties for protection-- need to go to prison.

@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

Related: Chinese intel operative Neville Roy Singham and his communist wife are launching a pro-CCP propaganda tour.

I haven't heard about this pair being debanked.

A California-based nonprofit with ties to the CCP and Neville Roy Singham embarked on a Chinese propaganda tour this week, telling attendees they could learn about the "revolutionary history" of the communist country while "marveling" at the socialist development in the country.
On Sunday, CodePink, a 501(c)(3) registered in Marina del Rey, California, posted a video of co-founder Medea Benjamin in an airport discussing her trip to China. The video, which was posted in between separate posts bashing Columbus Day and propping up feminism, detailed how Benjamin will show how the communist country is different from "the one we keep hearing about in Washington."
The following day, CodePink posted another clip of Benjamin outside a university in China lauding the safety of the country, saying enthusiastically that it is "amazing" an umbrella or bike can be left unattended in the region "without worrying about someone stealing it."

...
"Explore China's revolutionary history, while marveling at high-tech infrastructure and modern socialist development," the event description reads. "Highlights include Red Memorials, Historical Re-Enactments and Museums, Socialist Infrastructure, and Rural Revitalization."
...
Since 2017, Singham has funneled $278 million into a broad network of nonprofits, including CodePink, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. These groups regularly organize and participate in anti-ICE, anti-Israel and pro-Iran demonstrations.

TIANANMEN SQUARE 1989: THE FOOTAGE CHINA WANTS FORGOTTEN
This is restored footage from June 1989, shot in secret by a British ITN crew and smuggled out of China. Most of it sat in an archive for more than 30 years. To this day, the Chinese Communist Party won't say how many of its own students it killed.

Posted by: sniffybigtoe at October 15, 2026 12:18 PM (yt3LH)

31 $1.2 billion is a nice start.

But the reality is, these banks are so ginormously big that until Bessent starts nailing them with fines in the 100s of billions, if not trillions, it will barely leave a mark.

BoA has 5 trillion -- yes, with a "t" -- assets under management. The bank makes tens of billions in profit every year.

The $1.2B fine probably didn't even cover the profits that BoA made on all the illegal transfers.

Cool story bro, but I lost my career and everything I had and slept on a mattress in a 300x300 room and got a job waiting tables after I reported a fraud of similar scale. People who know what's happening in every damn bank in America know the same things I knew, and they know what happened to me, and they ain't gonna blow no whistles unless you drop with the fairy-ass fines and do something effective. ARREST PEOPLE OR NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

Hi, someone here who actually lived in China for 10 years and not in a multi-million dollar mansion... Theft is of course RAMPANT in China. My wallet got stolen out of my backpack while I was playing pick-up basketball at a local playground... My Chinese girlfriend (secretary for a state-owned corporation who lived in a tiny apartment with her parents; nowhere near wealthy) had 3 bikes stolen from her, and someone snatched her purse out her bike basket while she was riding to work (which made her take the bus and quit riding her bike)... There were always reports about different pick-pocket schemes going on in the street markets... This is such a ridiculous f-ing statement by this cunt. Sure, VIOLENT crime is relatively rare there. But if this twat ever set foot on a common street or in a common market, she'd be robbed in under 5 mins...

69 Yay. Ralphy all settled. Computer work.

For those that missed it.

CNN and MSNow were doing happy dances after President Trump said the execution wouldn't be livestreamed. After the mid-terms - we'll see. I'll be fine with pay-per-view.

Talarico's town hall on CNN was nicely choreographed and he came across as not-creepy and normal - for a Dem. He basically gave stock Dem answers designed to not scare the normies. As Lizzy commented, yeah, just lie to people until he gets in power. That seemed to be the strategy. I watch the first hour while doing dishes and cleaning the microwave.

Zerohedge had an article on 'student protests' spreading. Oh, I hope so. Let's get this on.

And if the bank people can't be executed, some poor lady on "Let's make a Deal" just won free movies for a year. That'd be a nice start for punishment.

I agree. But ... I'll bet dollars to donuts that nothing anyone did at the bank is a crime. A violation of civil regulations, sure. But not a criminal act.

"But The Blade, how can that be? Surely allowing money laundering through your bank is a crime!"

Stop calling me Shirley. You may think this is a crime, until you realize who writes 99% of the banking laws and regulations, and who donates billions to politicians, and who hires armies of lobbyists, and who employs almost everyone who leaves government banking regulators, and who is so large and powerful they practically control the entire country.

95 Slow news day? Here's an oddity that came across my feed, thanks to my watching Asmongold content: Ocean, 27F, making a pitch for immediate marriage. Sorry I couldn't find his actual video; I had to go to my YouTube history just to find this, which is part of the ecosystem of 'piggyback' accounts that clip shorts from other people's videos:

Mad-Hercules - She Has The Perfect Offer😭
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ab5Mtu_UY3E

Surprisingly few commenters (both in Asmon's live feed and on Hercules's short) were hung up on her several mental illnesses; I guess that's just par for the course these days. Surprisingly many were hung up on her $100k debt, which if it's student debt is also par for the course. Commenters were suspiciously silent on her sobriety-as-achievement, while an accurate number were hung up on her being a thief, and no one noted her own suspicious silence on motherhood status.

But what really puts this over the top is almost a throwaway line near the end: Shrek roleplay. Everyone was puzzled. What does that even mean? It took me to the following day to realize, she means that she farts -- a lot -- a lot a lot -- so much that she hopes it won't be a boner-killer.

NEW: California-based federal judge Jinsook Ohta (Biden appointee) has ruled that the U.S. State Department must reinstate its Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery for fiscal year 2027 by Sunday.

The program offers permanent residency in the U.S. to 50,000+ applicants every year, typically from countries with lower immigration to the U.S. Many come from Africa.

The Trump admin suspended the program last year after a Portuguese national who came to the U.S. via the diversity lottery was suspected of a deadly shooting at Brown University & the murder of a MIT professor before taking his own life.

I rather suspect that while a naval blockade would be the smarter play, China really wants to militarily crush Taiwan like a bug in order to exact revenge on the KMT for kicking their ass 90-odd years ago, forcing them to undergo the Long March in order to survive. The ChiCom victory in 1949 was only a partial victory, since the KMT escaped to Taiwan where the ChiComs couldn't get their hands on them.

Absent a live-stream and given that the government is completely untrustworthy at every level, the claims without verification often lead to conspiracy theory.

Was Hasan really executed? Or was he put on a plane in the cover of darkness to the Middle East to rejoin his fellow terrorists?

163 Look on the bright side. Osama was dumped overboard into the ocean, so every time you flush the toilet, the runoff ends up in the same ocean, either directly or after being passed through a sewage treatment facility before being dumped into the nearest river. So in effect, you're pissing on Osama's grave.

164 Rather than flat dollar amounts, I think fines against these assmongers out to be a flat percentage of their gross income. That might get their attention.

If you earn 8 billion but pay a fine of 1.5 billion....hell, I'll take those numbers.

165 So, assuming 10% for the whistle blower, Everett Stern should have been rewarded $192,000,000, right? I read that the rewards can be as high as 30%. Can someone educate me on how that works and why Everett wasn’t paid?

The fines need to be punitive, the jail time needs to be hard and real...or they'll do it again.

Islam is really and ideological - political movement. Nothing, to me, that's religious about it. It, and the leftists here share a common outlook.

It's just that the leftists don't realize these jihadis will kill them after the rest of us are dead.

Agree. Islam is fascism tinted with misogynistic perversion that's dressed up as religion to con the rubes and keep them in line. You can be sure that no royal daughter ever had FGM. That's for the filthy lower classes.

179 That list of donors that Jack Smith subpoenaed?

That was his "show me the person, and I'll show you the crime."

The Dems already have a list of conservatives they want in jail--Jack Smith was just finding the crime.

And he knew--and you know--that the DC jury would have convicted every single person on that list.

You know who refuses to believe (or pretends not the believe) the Dems are STILL planning on jailing every conservative who disagrees with them?

They have the same goal, the destruction of Western Civilization. The difference is that commies don't really care about what happens afterwards as long as they get the opportunity to shoot a few kneeling Kulaks in the back of the neck before it's over.

The mohammedans actually have a plan for the future. Of course that plan involves the whole world living in huts without running water, dorking goats up the squeekhole, shitting in the street and wiping their ass with a bare hand because that's what Mo did 1400 years ago.
