Podcasts about debanking

with @MinarikLaw @EMinSF @rhhackettImagine waking up one day to find your bank account frozen. No warning. No explanation. No recourse.This is not a thought experiment. It's a real situation.

That includes our guest today, who learned firsthand what it means to be “debanked.”In this episode, we talk about the unseen algorithms that monitor people's accounts, the ramifications of the Bank Secrecy Act, and how crypto and decentralized finance may offer a much-needed check — and safety net — against the opaque systems of traditional finance.Joining us are:Uniswap Labs's Chief Legal Officer Katherine Minarik, who shares her personal story of being debanked and what it taught her.a16z crypto Finance and Operations Partner Em Westerhold, who helps founders navigate these issues, and who has tracked dozens of instances of debanking across our own portfolio.A big thank you to Katherine for trusting us to share her story, which you can read a first-hand account of in an op-ed she contributed to a16zcrypto.com earlier this year.

In deze aflevering van de Holland Gold Podcast gaat Paul Buitink in gesprek met financieel adviseur Ap Flipse, bekend van de woekerpolisaffaire en medeoprichter van het Gryp-netwerk. Ze bespreken onder meer het fenomeen 'debanking' het (onverwacht) afsluiten van bankrekeningen en de bredere verschuiving naar een digitale infrastructuur waarbij contant geld steeds verder verdwijnt. Flipse benadrukt het belang van financiële zelfredzaamheid en waarschuwt voor te veel afhankelijkheid van banken en overheid.Ook het nieuwe pensioenstelsel wordt kritisch besproken. Volgens Flipse schuiven fondsen alle risico's af op de burger, zonder dat die inspraak krijgt. Hij spreekt van een “woekerpensioen” en pleit voor meer controle over eigen vermogen.Verder geeft Ab Flipse een aantal praktische tips, van het aanhouden van contant geld tot spreiding van vermogen via edelmetaal en buitenlandse rekeningen. Voor wie wil begrijpen hoe je jezelf beschermt tegen systeemrisico's, is dit een essentiële aflevering.Timestamps:00:00 Intro 01:35 Gesprek met Mark van Buuren 02:42 GRYP.it05:40 Debanking: de bank die je rekening opzegt 14:59 Hoe kijkt Ab naar de CBDC19:36 Uiteenvallen van de EURO en de EU26:34 Recente consternatie nieuwe pensioenwet 40:04 Blijft de AOW in stand?45:36 GRYP evenement 6 juni te Breukelen website GRYP:https://www.gryp.it/Overweegt u om goud en zilver aan te kopen?

April 2, 2025, could redefine global trade. President Donald Trump has christened it “Liberation Day,” a moment when he'll roll out “reciprocal tariffs” to counter nations taxing US goods.

Dan and Corey kick off the show with some tech issues and quickly turn to roasting Trump for turning the White House into a Tesla showroom, cracking jokes about him not knowing how to drive a car. They dive into a serious discussion about Mahmood Khalil, a Columbia grad who faces deportation for criticizing Israel, mocking the government's BS moves and lack of due process. The talk shifts to debanking, with Tim Scott's pathetic FIRM Act, which is supposed to protect free speech but really just screws over small businesses. They also highlight Thomas Massey's ongoing budget battles with Trump and mock the absurdities of the political landscape, all while keeping the humor as crude and low-brow as possible. The episode wraps up with more laughs, ridiculous impressions, and a nod to the chaos of current events.00:00 Welcome to Libservative01:02 Technical Difficulties and Trump Talk01:46 The MAGA Movement and Free Speech07:01 Rosie O'Donnell's Move to Ireland12:38 Trump's Petty Moves and BLM Plaza19:33 Protests and Outside Agitators27:59 DEI Purge and AI Mishaps38:39 Public Restroom Dilemma39:21 Jack the Ripper Identified45:00 Transgender vs. Transgenics46:47 First Amendment Violations01:06:52 Debanking and Financial Regulations01:24:41 Libertarian and Leftist Ideologies01:26:21 Critique of Neoliberalism01:29:08 The FIRM Act and Its Implications01:34:22 Overregulation and Its Consequences01:37:46 Thomas Massey vs. Donald Trump01:42:50 Trump's Economic Policies01:52:40 Trump and Tesla: A Bizarre Encounter02:03:55 Closing Remarks and Filibustering

This week, John and Elliot discuss the Geographic Targeting Orders issued by FinCEN, a letter from two senators to the US Treasury about the Corporate Transparency Act, a new report on the looting of Latin American antiquities by cartels, legislation introduced combat debanking, and other items impacting the financial crime prevention community.

Senate Republicans on Wednesday passed a measure to allow payment apps like Venmo and PayPal to return to ideological debanking—repealing a rule implemented in December by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Repeal of the rule would leave users of the apps in limbo, as the laws protecting consumers would still be in place, but the rule enforcing the law—and the bureau with the capacity to enforce it—would not. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the bill, which has not yet passed in the House, and how it will allow these payment app companies to deny service to individuals or groups on ideological grounds. Plus segments on Americans' declining support for Israel, Matt Taibbi's perspective on why the left should support Kash Patel's efforts to reform the FBI and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's bellicose rhetoric toward China. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Al Pacino!

It's been 29 years since California became the first state to legalize marijuana for medical use and just 13 years since Colorado and Washington legalized recreational use for adults. Since then, it has become legal in some form in 39 states and Washington D.C.. But despite being a legitimate multibillion dollar industry, marijuana is still illegal under federal law, making cannabis companies unable to use the federal banking system and reliant on cash. Therefore, it remains challenging for businesses operating legally in their state to use the federal banking system, and they must operate primarily in cash. Kyle Sherman, the founder and CEO of Flowhub, recently spoke with Chris Foster of Fox News Rundown about why Congress needs to update marijuana and banking laws and why working primarily in cash is terrible for both industry and the government. Sherman also discusses the state of the marijuana business, whether it has expanded too fast in some places, and where it's possibly going. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Flowhub CEO Kyle Sherman, allowing you to hear more about the growing marijuana industry and its challenges going forward.

Cryptocurrency companies have co-opted legitimate concerns about banking discrimination to fight regulation — and Congress is buying it. Originally published on February 14, 2025.

Greg Baer, the CEO of the Bank Policy Institute, argues that bank supervision has gone off course, focusing on the wrong areas and making the system less safe.  He outlines how he and big banks would recommend fixing it. He also discusses stress test and AML reform, new liquidity rules, Basel III, CFPB and more.

They also reviewed the FATF 2023-2024 Report, new expectations from the FCA on fraud reimbursements, progress on the EU's new anti-corruption legislation, congressional hearings on debanking, turmoil at the FBI, and other items impacting the financial crime prevention community.

The hearing, which took place on Feb. 6, focused on the so-called "Operation Chokepoint 2.0," an initiative by the U.S. government that was meant to target the cryptocurrency sector.

Today's podcast show features a discussion with Julie Andersen Hill about her law review article titled “Regulating Bank Reputation Risk”, 54 GA. L. Rev. 523 (2023). Professor Hill is the Dean and Wyoming Excellence Chair of the University of Wyoming College of Law. The abstract to Professor Hill's article does an excellent job of summarizing her thesis: This Article surveys reputation risk guidance and enforcement efforts. It shows that reputation risk regulation is usually an ancillary consideration to credit risk, operational risk, or other primary risk. In these instances, reputation risk adds little because regulators have strong tools to address the root problems. Sometimes, however, regulators justify guidance or enforcement primarily in terms of controlling reputation risk. Regulators use reputation risk to weigh in on hot-button political topics afield from safety and soundness like gun rights, payday lending and fossil fuels. Because regulators believe that reputation risk is present in every facet of banking, little prevents them from using it to address other controversies. This Article argues that expansive regulation of reputation risk is harmful. There is little evidence that can accurately predict and prevent bank reputational losses. Moreover, because reputation risk is largely subjective, regulators can use it to further political agendas apart from bank safety and soundness. Unnecessary politicization of banking regulation undermines faith in the regulatory system and correspondently erodes trust in banks. During our discussion, Professor Hill addressed the following issues: What is reputation risk? What legal authority do bank supervisors have to regulate reputation risk? Why do you believe that the regulation of reputation risk is unnecessary and harmful? What is Operation Choke Point all about and how did it turn out? What was the outcome in the U.S. Supreme Court in NRA v. Vullo of the New York State bank regulator urging state banks to manage the reputation risk posed by doing business with the National Rifle Association? Has concern over the regulation of reputation risk subsided in light of the termination of Operation Chokepoint and the unanimous Supreme Court opinion in NRA v. Vullo? Why does there appear to be renewed worry that regulators are using reputation risk and other justifications to force banks to cut services to people, businesses or industries that they don't like? Is there any credence to the claims of Elon Musk and others that crypto and tech startups are being debanked or denied fair access to banking services? In light of the fact that President Trump himself and many members of Congress are troubled by debanking claims, what sort of policy changes are likely to be considered? What is the likelihood of the OCC promulgating a regulation prohibiting debanking in Trump 2.0 similar to the one it almost finalized in Trump 1.0? The importance of this podcast is underscored by the fact that yesterday, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs held a hearing entitled “Investigating the Real Impacts of Debanking in America.” Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel and former chair for 25 years of the Consumer Financial Services Group, hosts the discussion.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, long dubbed “anti-crypto” by industry executives, has suddenly appeared to have a change of tune when it comes to the debanking of crypto companies.~This Episode is Sponsored By Coinbase~ Get up to $200 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/CBARRON00:00 Intro00:28 Sponsor: Coinbase01:01 Anchorage Digital story02:40 Was it the Banks fault?03:52 Citibank is anti-XRP04:18 Cynthia Lummis brings Hard Proof05:48 Elizabeth Warren gaslights crypto companies06:48 Confession by Elizabeth Warren?07:25 Warren speaks through Mr. Reed instead08:37 Anchorage now advising Government09:11 Elon Musk Treasury on Blockchain09:36 Congressman freaks out!10:48 Treasury Confusion11:00 AVAX a front runner11:50 Tomorrow hearing12:06 Coinbase & Paul Grewal are ready13:00 Outro#Crypto #bitcoin #XRP~Elizabeth Warren Exposed in Crypto Debanking Scheme!

She critiques the BBC's negative coverage of Bitcoin, highlighting the importance of accurate information and the impact of misinformation on public perception.  The conversation then shifts to the FATF travel rule, exploring its implications for privacy and the ineffectiveness of traditional financial regulations in combating money laundering. Susie emphasizes the need for a better understanding of Bitcoin's technology and the dangers of overregulation.  Susie and Stephan also discuss the implications of compliance and regulation on Bitcoin adoption, the dangers of debanking, and the political divides affecting financial freedom. The discussion highlights the need for better understanding and education around Bitcoin and the potential risks of centralized control over financial systems. Takeaways

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (@patio11) unpacks his 24k word essay Debanking (and Debunking?) originally published on Bits about Money. He discusses the contours of recent debanking claims made by the crypto community, notably Marc Andreessen, Nic Carter, and explains how banking actually works as infrastructure rather than conspiracy.  The conversation moves from Operation Chokepoint's documented history to current claims about coordinated action against certain industries, while highlighting how banking access challenges disproportionately affect those who are "relatively less resourced, relatively less educated."–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/debanking-patrick-mckenzie/–Sponsors:  Vanta | GiveWell | CheckVanta automates security compliance and builds trust, helping companies streamline ISO, SOC 2, and AI framework certifications.
