The crazed and greedy Malignant Fascist has decided to sue JPMorgan Chase for shutting his bank accounts following his attempt to violently overthrow the 2020 election, as NPR reports. They clearly made a business decision to step away from any association with the criminal acts of the MF, following his incitement of the January 6 insurrection:
"President Trump sued JPMorgan Chase and chief executive Jamie Dimon on Thursday, seeking at least $5 billion in damages over allegations that the country's biggest bank closed his account for political reasons.
The lawsuit follows through on a threat Trump made on his Truth Social network over the weekend — and caps several days of escalating tensions between the president and one of the most powerful CEOs in the United States.
Trump filed his lawsuit in a Miami-Dade County state court on Thursday, alleging that the bank closed his accounts in 2021, weeks after the January 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol, 'as a result of political and social motivations, and [JPMorgan Chase's] unsubstantiated, 'woke' beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views.'" (our emphasis)
The bank countered that the MF's suit was without merit and that the closure was to protect the bank from legal and regulatory risks (they didn't mention reputational harm, but that's in the mix, too). Their deep pockets will allow them to fight the MF in court, and the discovery process that JPMorgan's attorneys will use should be wonderfully embarrassing to the MF. When you have a moron for a client....
The MF has gone after other major banks, too, like CapitalOne and the Bank of America for similar frivolous reasons, apparently intending to intimidate them and other banks who may be considering dropping him. It's no wonder that more of his financial holding are with overseas financial organizations and corrupt monarchies more to the MF's liking.
