The other day I had to deposit a large check at Wells Fargo The office had been remodeled and there was now a couple of large-screen tvs behind the counter on the wall with updating displays. As they processed the check, a message came up about what someone could do with a certain amount of funds, and lo! It was the exact amount of my deposit!
That number kept coming up the whole time I was at the counter, in different displays, and the only thing I can think is that they have an AI with access to transaction records. #banks
In 2023, the largest #Western#banks still operating in #Russia paid taxes that were four times the amount they paid before the full-scale invasion. This is due partly to international #sanctions on Russian banks.
