The 17-year-old girl who recorded this video of James Iannazzo told me today that @tiktok_us banned her account after she posted this video there yesterday. She said she "just wanted to make people aware." I have messaged #TikTok to ask why it banned her account.
A spokesperson for Merrill Lynch emailed me today that the man in the video, James Iannazzo has been terminated:
"Our company does not tolerate behavior of this kind. We immediately investigated and have taken action. This individual is no longer employed at our firm."
James Iannazzo was charged with intimidation based on bigotry or bias, breach of peace, and criminal trespass.
His court date is scheduled for February 7 at Bridgeport Superior Court. wfsb.com/news/fairfield…
“One of the employees, who is 17, began to film the situation as it escalated and later posted it on TikTok under the username @ cjjbreezy. The original video can no longer be viewed as the girl’s page has been removed.”
The 17 year-old girl who posted her video on @tiktok_us showing Iannazzo's assault messaged me about getting banned:
1. "the reason i want my tiktok account back, is because tiktok was a way for me to express myself. it was a way that i can influence others around the world...
2. "i feel as though tiktok is a way for people to talk about life and show their feelings and to spread awareness. that was taken from me because tiktok banned me, a 17-year-old girl"
The 17 year-old girl who filmed and posted video to @tiktok_us yesterday showing James Iannazzo's assault on Robeks employees has been banned by #TikTok.
She messaged me today about why she wants her TikTok account restored. CC: @v_ness
NEW: The 17 year-old girl who posted her video on @tiktok_us and subsequently had her account banned, just messaged me that her TikTok account has been restored. TikTok’s CJJBreezy received no direct communication from TikTok. No one from TikTok has replied to my inquiries.
Statement from James Iannazzo's attorney. Iannazzo "deeply regrets his statements and actions." Until two days ago, he managed $469 million in assets for @MerrillLynch, according to @Forbes which ranked him #24 in Connecticut in 2021. Now he's unemployed.
Is this James Iannazzo, Wealth Management Advisor, Managing Director of @MerrillLynch? Merrill Lynch is owned by @BankofAmerica. Comment from his employer? $BAC #ESG
I have emailed Merrill Lynch and Bank of America, asking them to confirm whether the man in the video is their employee James Iannazzo and, if so, what is their comment. Will post here if I receive response.
NEW: A spokesperson for Merrill Lynch emailed me this statement today about James Iannazo who was seen in a viral video:

UPDATE: The @FEC has assessed an additional fine against @AmyKremer's PAC Women Vote Smart for non-filing. The new fine of $8418 (posted 1/19/22) brings total of five unpaid fines against Kremer's PAC to 37,428. FEC can refer to @USTreasury for collection. rantt.com/scoop-women-fo…
None of the FEC's five fine cases against Kremer's PAC have been referred to US Treasury for enforcement and collection. A spokesperson for the FEC told me they could provide no information as to why no referrals to the Treasury Department. fec.gov/about/leadersh…
Jan 6 rally, "organized by [Amy] Kremer’s Women for America First group, featured the now-infamous speech from President Donald Trump when he urged followers to march on the U.S. Capitol." - @daithaigilbert@VICENewsvice.com/en/article/7kv…
In Jan 2021, Sen @RonWyden told me he would "keep pressing the IRS to investigate" the role of tax-exempt groups involved in #Jan6. Wyden sent a letter to IRS chief Charles Rettig, demanding investigation. No response yet from Rettig, a Trump holdover. rantt.com/legal-liabilit…
In April 2021, Sen. Wyden reiterated his demand that the IRS investigate tax-exempt groups involved in #Jan6, telling a town hall audience that he hadn't received a response from IRS chief Rettig, but that he would "insist on it." Still no response from Rettig, a Trump holdover.
Sen. Wyden sent a letter to IRS chief Charles Rettig on Jan 15, 2021, demanding investigation into tax-exempt groups involved in #Jan6. Nonprofit Women for America First was permit-holder for 1/6 incitement rally. No response from Rettig, a Trump holdover. finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Twitter banned Trump due to risk of inciting further violence. He is flouting his Twitter ban via proxy account, Liz Harrington. By failing to enforce its policy, Twitter is not only endangering the public, but also in breach of fiduciary duty to $TWTR shareholders. @paraga#ESG

1. I explained to @RepVernonJones, GOP candidate for #Georgia Governor, why tweeting Lara Logan's comparison of Dr. Fauci to Nazi murderer Josef Mengele is offensive. Jones had tweeted @Mediaite reporting of Logan's comparison. He deleted his tweet. Screenshots below
Vernon Jones, Republican candidate for Georgia Governor, deleted his tweet, as I requested. He had tweeted @Mediaite reporting about Lara Logan's comparison of Dr. Fauci to Josef Mengele to substantiate his criticism of Fauci.
One additional message from Vernon Jones. We can agree to disagree about Dr. Fauci's role. But seems we are in agreement that there is no place for Lara Logan's comparison of Dr. Fauci to Nazi Josef Mengele.
