Leon Black's response to being named in the Epstein survivors' lawsuit against Bank of America follows a familiar and well-worn script: recast himself as collateral damage rather than a powerful figure who knowingly remained in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit long after Epstein's crimes were public. Through statements and court filings, Black has framed his inclusion in the lawsuit as unfair, misleading, and opportunistic, arguing that he is not accused of committing abuse and that his name is being dragged into litigation simply because of his wealth and past association with Epstein. He presents himself as someone who was deceived by Epstein, emphasizing that he severed ties once he claims to have understood the full scope of Epstein's conduct and portraying his financial dealings as unrelated to trafficking or exploitation. In this telling, Black is not a beneficiary of Epstein's system, but a bystander whose reputation is being harmed by guilt-by-association.What this framing carefully avoids is the core allegation raised by survivors: that powerful men like Black, through continued financial engagement and personal access, helped legitimize Epstein, sustain his influence, and enable the broader machinery that allowed abuse to continue unchecked. Survivors and their attorneys argue that Black's claim of victimhood rings hollow given the years of documented payments, meetings, and post-conviction contact, all of which occurred in an environment where Epstein's criminal history was widely known. The lawsuit does not need to accuse Black of direct abuse to implicate him in the ecosystem that protected Epstein; it is precisely his power, credibility, and money that made that ecosystem possible. By casting himself as the injured party, Black attempts to flip the moral gravity of the case, shifting attention away from the survivors' claims and toward his own reputational harm—an inversion that many see as emblematic of how elite figures have repeatedly insulated themselves from accountability in the Epstein scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Billionaire Leon Black Fires Back at Epstein Victim's Bankrolling Claims

What if the biggest myth in banking is that customers don't need branches anymore? Because every time Bank of America opens a new financial center, digital sales in that market jump by 50 percent. Physical presence isn't competing with digital — it's accelerating it. Now, Bank of America is putting $750 million behind a bet the rest of the industry walked away from too soon, opening 150 new financial centers across 60 markets by 2027 at more than $5 million per location. Bold? Yes. Contradictory? Maybe. But the timing suggests something deeper: after shrinking from 6,000 branches to about 3,700, they now believe the future isn't fewer branches… it's smarter ones. These next-generation centers aren't transaction factories. They're advisory hubs staffed by 12,000 relationship bankers, designed to anchor communities and handle the conversations digital can't — at least not yet. My guest on the Banking Transformed podcast, Will Smayda, leads this transformation. He'll explain why Bank of America is expanding while others retreat and what these new financial centers reveal about how clients actually want to bank. So, here's the question we all need to wrestle with: Is this the future of the branch — or the most expensive contradiction in banking?

The tech sector got a nudge from Micron (MU) thanks to an impressive post-earnings rally.

De-culting is a very important skill that I hope to help people with, God help me. lolI was in several cults myself, and I'm sure you have been at one time or another too. Whether they were in the spiritual, health, or other arenas everyone's life has been particularly touched by cult culture.It requires a special sauce to extricate from a cult, and we will unpack what that is. I'm counting on the chat to share their cult experiences, and I'm thinking this might turn into a series since a deep dive into some of the cults in particular would be useful.We will talk about the scale of cults, the harm participation in them brings, and look at the solutions in the same place I always find them.PS Because I name the episodes of BoFA with verbs I had to invent a word, “de-cult”. Here's what AI says the meaning of it is. It gets me, which I know is not necessarily a good thing. LOLFrom AI:“The term "de-cult" is not a standard or widely recognized word in English. However, based on the context provided, it may be interpreted as a conceptual opposite of "cult," potentially referring to the process of disengaging from or dismantling a group or movement characterized by intense devotion, isolation, and control.” ***Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upTake my starter course: Deprogramming 101: https://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on...

In this episode, I sit down with Rich Clow, Head of Innovation and Strategy, Global Payments Solutions at Bank of America, to explore how one of the world's largest financial institutions is approaching payments innovation, such as instant payments and digital wallet technology. Rich shares insights into Bank of America's unique perspective, given their scale of serving tens of millions of consumers and small businesses alongside 40,000 global corporates operating across 140+ currencies.The conversation delves into the bank's approach to the Paze digital wallet, why instant payments adoption is lagging behind other markets, and the critical importance of accessing real-time payment data to better serve clients.

Federal Judge Jed S. Rakoff has accelerated litigation brought by a woman who says she was abused by Jeffrey Epstein, ordering the case against Bank of America (BofA) and The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) onto a fast track. The plaintiff (referred to as “Jane Doe”) alleges the banks knowingly facilitated Epstein's trafficking operation, pointing to an account opened at BofA at Epstein's direction and alleging BNY processed around $378 million in payments to trafficking victims. The judge set November deadlines for motions to dismiss, demands full discovery by late February 2026, and indicated trials could begin in May or June 2026.The lawsuits bring fresh scrutiny to how major financial institutions may have turned a blind eye—or worse—to red flags around Epstein's operations. In the BofA complaint, the claim is made that the bank failed to file required Suspicious Activity Reports despite multiple warning signs, and profited from Epstein's business. The BNY suit accuses the bank of giving credit lines and processing vast sums tied to Epstein's model-agency front used in trafficking. Both banks say they will defend vigorously. The move follows earlier suits against JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank that settled for hundreds of millions of dollars without admissions of liability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsources:Epstein Victim Lawsuits Against Bank of America and BNY Moving Quickly - Business Insider

It will also require new behaviors and sharper priorities that strengthen our retail leadership in style and design and enable faster execution so we can: Lead with merchandising authority; Elevate the guest experience with every interaction; and Accelerate technology to enable our team and delight our guests.”Does anyone know what that word salad actually means?

So if he throws a tantrum and leaves, isn't it bro's fault? This is a binary trade - Musk gets extra pay/control, stock goes up and isn't de-meme'd. Musk doesn't, he leaves and the stock is de-meme'd and drops arguably by 66% or more to be more like a car company with some tech. So do we blame investors, no matter what they do? They meme'd the stock in the first place, he couldn't get a trillion extra dollars if they hadn't pumped up the stock - and now they could vote with humanity (no pay) or meme capitalism (pay)!Techbro middle school conservatism - is this Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan's fault?

Well, one reason why is because Governor Tim Walsh does not require federal employees to go to work here. They're still working from home. Therefore, no one's coming down here to work. Crime has went up in this city because no one's coming to work. Everyone's left. No shops are open, no restaurants are opened. This is what is happening in Minneapolis.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley break down Visa (ticker: V), the global payments powerhouse that acts as the invisible engine behind billions of transactions every day. Visa doesn't issue cards, lend money, or handle customer accounts — instead, it operates the network that connects banks, merchants, and consumers in over 200 countries.
