In light of what's happening in Iran/Iraq, it's worth highlighting the destructive role that @DeutscheBank has played in the region.

For years, DB violated international sanctions by helping bankroll Iranian financial institutions. The money allegedly went to terrorism.

@DeutscheBank Deutsche executives knew about and took pains to conceal the activities. Billions of dollars were illegally transferred in and out of Iran (as well as other sanctioned countries like Syria).

Here’s how NY regulators described the efforts in 2015. dfs.ny.gov/docs/about/ea/…

@DeutscheBank Families of US soldiers who were killed by roadside bombs in Iraq have blamed @DeutscheBank for their deaths. This lawsuit, filed in federal court in 2018, is a brutal illustration of the real-world impact of DB’s illegal activities. (The suit is pending.)

@DeutscheBank This is how I describe the situation in DARK TOWERS, my book on DB and @realDonaldTrump, to be published February 18. harpercollins.com/9780062878816/…
