In 2020, the FDIC issued a Consent order on the State Bank of Nauvoo.
"NOTICE OF CHARGES AND OF HEARING detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices
and violations of law or regulation alleged to have been committed by the Bank"
As per the FDIC... "The public is also notified when a bank’s Consent Order is terminated"
I could not find a termination order so I assume that SBN is still under the Consent Order of 2020.
It looks like a family business with Tim and Ted Reinhardt taking the lead.
2/7
The article from Businesswire mentions that Ted is the President of SBN. But oddly, his brother Tim was also the president only a few years ago. What happened???
3/7
It looks like Tim was removed after his own run-in with the FDIC in 2018.
4/7
In 2018 the FDIC filed "ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION AND
FOR RESTITUTION" against TIMOTHY K. REINHARDT.
"unsafe or unsound banking practices and breaches of fiduciary duty"... "attempted to conceal excessive bonus payments to himself"... "prohibited from... participating in any... affairs of any financial
institution or agency"
6/7
I don't know how much Metallicus/FBBT is paying for the SBN acquisition, but I'd be willing to bet that a single-branch bank, in the middle of nowhere Illinois, with a dodgy management history and still under an FDIC Consent Order, would likely be in my budget too.🤣

I was honestly looking into the Nauvoo acquisition hoping to find something to be excited about. But alas, I was unsuccessful. ⚛️🚀🤡

This will be a long reply. Hopefully it is deserving of the effort The Audacious Investor already put into his thread...
There certainly are those in every community who expose their ignorance on certain subjects, seeing things through their maxi lens. I aim to be objective and rational.

The precursor to Project mBridge was the mCBDC or Multi-CBDC concepts outlined in (BIS Paper 115).
Paper 115 outlined 3 models for processing transactions from CBDC to CBDC.
2/12
Model 1:
Looks "very similar to traditional payment systems".
Uses a "Multitude of privately offered correspondent and clearing services" which use "bridge currencies" like the most liquid USD and Euro.
Benefits:
✴️Allows for nations CBDC systems to "separately determine rulebook and governance, participation criteria and infrastructure"
✴️"Diversity, choice and competition"
✴️"common technical standards... can reduce the operational burden of participating in multiple systems."
✴️"Aligned legal, regulatory and supervisory standards can simplify know-your-customer and transaction monitoring processes"
Challenges:
✴️"without coordinated policy action, compatibility takes time."
✴️"takes years to coordinate participants"
🔥 What are patents US2021192501A1 / WO2021126787A1, and why are they significant?
🔥 Cross-MEDUIM vs Cross-BORDER transactions
🔥 Was the SEC lawsuit motivated by these patents?
🔥Why has Ripple pivoted from #ODL branding to #XRP?

Lets break down patent US2021192501A1...
Title: "Network computing system implementing on-demand liquidity for cross-medium transaction services"
Filed: 2/21/2020
Granted: 1/26/2021

What is On-Demand-Liquidity according to the patent?
Put simply, it is "a computing system... that implements a cross-medium transaction service by leveraging the use of a digital currency and ledger (e.g., a decentralized, distributed ledger)".
❌ Peg #XRP to Gold - Not Possible ❌
✅ Peg #Gold to XRP - Possible ✅
Sounds crazy? Here is how it can be done...
🧵
I've expressed before that XRP's value cannot be tied to any particular asset/commodity. A decentralized digital currencies value is determined by the forces of supply and demand. However, what follows is a theoretical and speculative scenario, yet still plausible.

First of all, what got me into this train of thought was an article from late last year. Go ahead and read it to grasp some similarities in what I will explain. Essentially its a forced revaluation of gold driven by market oil prices.
🚨🔥THE WORLD WILL USE A NEW DIGITAL CURRENCY AS A NEUTRAL BRIDGE FOR GLOBAL CROSS-BORDER SETTLEMENTS🔥🚨
It will not be..
❌the Digital USD
❌the Chinese Digital Yuan
❌any PoS protocol
It will be..
✅BACKED BY NOTHING
✅100% neutral
✅#XRP and #XLM as global #stablecoins
🧵
The US Dollar has been the backbone of global monetary flow for decades.
In 1971, the US officially dropped the gold standard. This step "removes the underpinnings from the worlds money"
1/24
This change meant that the global payment currency no longer possessed any intrinsic value. Its value was solely derived from the confidence of the world's economies that the USD was secure and stable enough to be held and transacted with.
