I hadn't heard of #MercantileBank. It's a "US bank with global access" located on crypto bro's second favorite island: Puerto Rico.
It caters to startups, specifically those in digital assets and other shady things like energy transition and "creative entrepeneurship". 🤔

I'm interested in hearing @adam_waldman's thoughts on Pras being an "FBI Informant," as he faces 22 years in prison on federal charges of conspiracy related to his involvement in #JhoLow's #1MDB sovereign wealth fund scandal.
The 1MDB scandal has been a very interesting saga.
In a bizarre twist, newly-dissolved #Thailand #opposition party #FutureForward @FWPthailand has accused #PM #Prayut of working with ex-#Malaysia #PM #Najib to suppress the truth/information on allegations of #corruption regarding #1MDB. Mr Najib is currently facing trial for that
Now-dissolved #Thailand #opposition #FutureForward @FWPthailand also accused #Thai #PM #Prayut & his government of allowing #fugitive #Malaysian financier #JhoLow, linked to #1MDB scandal to travel in & out of Thailand freely while he was wanted by #interpol between 2016 & 2018
This comes 1 day before #Thailand #parliament is set to start #censure debate targeting 6 ministers including #PM #Prayut. But @FWPthailand executives including @Pannika_FWP who spoke at event accusing #Thai PM of suppressing info to apparently help #Malaysia's #Najib cannot join
My inscription to Keith Schilling, whose forth sent hundreds of legal threats across the world to stymie our book about the global and sprawling #1MDB scandal (finally out in UK last Thursday) #billiondollarwhale #jholow #FreedomOfSpeech
Dear Keith, I hope you find something more meaningful to do with your time than try to stop books from being published. It’s bad for society. P.S. thank you for all the extra publicity. The “Streisand Effect” is real.
Whose “firm” — sorry
In latest surreal waste of money, Jho Low lawyers demanding our UK publisher not sell in Australia (where book has been on sale without any problem for a year by our US publisher...) #losttheplot #1mdb #jholow #billiondollarwhale #streisandeffect
Speaking of surreal: Jho Low is an intl. fugitive with an Interpol Red Notice & criminal charges in three countries. He refuses to answer a single question & says he can’t get a fair trial in ANY JURISDICTION. Yet, he thinks he can make spurious libel threats? #billiondollarwhale
Having recourse to the law if no other method works makes sense but British people should be incensed that the alleged criminals of the world try to use their libel laws to prevent the truth from coming out even if they have only the tiniest connection to the UK

What is 1MDB?

Questions arose in early 2015 when the fund failed to meet payments on $11 billion in debt.
🔑The WSJ then published documents showing that about $700M from 1MDB-linked entities had ended up in Najib’s personal bank accounts just before elections in 2013.
