TLDR; $MCB is opening 800+ Bank Accounts per day via a program manager with marketing materials “FDIC Insured, No Social Security Required, Send Money to Columbia in Minutes!, Illegal? #Selfie” and found an unmet, underbanked need.

MyBambu: a $MCB Global Payments BAAS client
BAAS is a Reg Arb gamble. Banks didn’t want to keep up with KYC/AML compliance costs boosted earnings outsourcing to unregulated (Defi) fintechs neobanks. Now 23.5% of the $MCB deposit base.
Can you find @coinbase 🧐
Voyager?
2/🧵
Voyager brought $MCB payments business into the FTX/SBF/Alameda DOJ investigation. Alameda was Voyager's #1 lending partner and used its offer for Voyager as a ruse to get to their deposit base at $MCB to boost liquidity
Long history of disappearing clients! @Cryptadamist
3/🧵
Part of the BAAS ruse is the fraudulent marketing of FDIC insurance.
Voyager was a FDIC fraud pioneer.
Every depositor became an unsecured creditor when Voyager failed.
Cease and Desist:

This is fraud.

Like Voyager, MyBambu is not FDIC insured.
@FDICgov
In the event of a MyBambu failure, depositors become unsecured creditors.
MyBambu has removed the FDIC Logo marketing from their website, but not their Youtube

MyBambu primarily markets $MCB banking services to Spanish speaking immigrants living in the U.S.
