Some people are blaming me for choosing to sell the bank to Qenta in the fist place. Put yourself in my position. The bank's business is imploding. It's losing 250K to 300K per month. I am covering those losses out of my own pocket each month. I've got thousands of customers (though about 70% jumped off the sinking ship in under a year) and 70 or so employees. Every customer who left got 100% of heir money back. All this is happening because I was falsely accused by the media of using my bank to help organized criminals launder money and evade taxes. At the︀ same time I'm a plaintiff in a defamation lawsuit in Australia, which I eventually won︁ two years later. I'm also juggling Euro Pacific Asset Management, Schiff Gold, and my podcast.︂ I could have just immediately shut the bank down. But I thought there was still︃ a viable business there if someone bought it and completely rebranded it. The OCIF Commissioner︄ gave me a short window to find a buyer. Most potential buyers would not even︅ touch the bank with a 10-foot poll, given the fear of guilt by association. That︆ really narrowed my pool of potential buyers. Brent talked a good game, and his G-coin︇ business really appealed to me. We seemed to have a lot in common, and it︈ look to me like he was building a solid organization. OCIF apparently did lots of︉ their own diligence on Qenta and its key principals, and they came up with nothing︊ that concerned me. Had they found something I might have backed out. But I never︋ wanted to sell the bank to anyone in the first place. I had big plans︌ for the bank and really wanted to build it up. But my banking reputation was︍ destroyed by a conspiracy among tax chiefs in five nations and reporters in two. Ultimately︎ it's those corrupt government officials and "journalists" who are to blame. Hopefully my federal civil️ rights lawsuit against the conspirators is not thrown out so I can fully expose this crime to the world.
