It's too late, the information is already out there, but he may still disappear. I certainly hope not, because he is definitely one of the few good guys left in this mess! More people have noticed or seen the same kind of activities, so perhaps he is helping give power to those people to come out with the truth! No surprise that this big banking company has done and is continuously complicit in Putin's illegal money laundering activities! He is trying hard to dominate the entire world, and he, Putin now has billions in gold as well. Where did that gold come from is my question!? NRA has been helping Putin with his schemes for decades and that's another reason we have a ttrump and deeply corrupt Republican administration, along with many Democrats as well!

I agree with you on that one. Every single time I have called out serious errors or tried to right discrepancies in my accounts: when I had thousands missing...I was threatened by bankers. Threatened. Told to, "Watch it!" and "You better be careful what you're saying."-- I have lost a LOT of money from certain banks. Then after they stole my money along with everyone else's they went belly up. It still goes on though. I am convinced. Banking oversight in America is nil. They steal from people all the time.
