28 Aug 2023 Lede: JPMorgan Chase is accused of transferring more than $1.1 million from convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to "girls or women." If so, where were his "suspicious activity" reports? (quote) When I was arrested and charged with espionage in 2012 after blowing the whistle on the C.I.A.'s torture program, I accepted that my world was falling on my head. Friends walked away. Even relatives told me that they didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore. And as if I didn't have enough to worry about, like facing 45 years in prison, there were several other indignities that I hadn't expected. First, USAA, with which I had done business for 22 years, canceled my car insurance, my homeowners' insurance and my credit card. When I called to ask what in the world was going on, I was told directly and clearly, "We don't do business with felons." That was despite my not yet being convicted of any crime. The news only got worse for me from there. Bank of America closed my checking account with no notice and mailed me the balance. Why? Because they don't do business with felons either. Friends who had remained loyal banded together in the weeks after my arrest to organize a defense fund. They collected donations via GoFundMe and tried to open a bank account to hold the money. They were turned down by Wells Fargo, United Bank, M&T and every other bank they went to. Why again? Because they don't do business with felons. They were eventually allowed to open an account with a local credit union that had never heard of me and apparently didn't care about doing business with yet-to-be-convicted "felons."
