Amended $MCB 🧵: $MCB's auditor Crowe LLP raised a "critical audit matter" relating to the "qualitative" & "subjective" nature of $MCB's measurements of how many loans would go bad. (@RasooliSheida made a mistake w/r/t whether it was on the $MCB site but it's still bad. Image
🧵2/Ω
$MCB took a huge $35 million charge that wiped out their profits for 2022-Q4 in anticipation of getting fined civilly and possibly criminally for #PPP loan fraud of some kind.
🧵3/Ω
They did that because... they're under investigation. At the very least they are gonna get hit with major civil violations, but I have a hunch it will escalate to criminal bc of the #CryptoCom/#Binance connection... $MCB

Sometimes it's the little things, you know?

I will leave this mini-thread about how $MCB just hired the team that ran the extremely fraud prone EB-5 "greencards 4 cash" related program over at the now completely collapsed $SBNY right here:
🧵7/Ω
Given that everyone's a bubblin' about how commercial real estate is an absolute fucking train wreck that just keeps accelerating into what appears to be a brick wall, maybe good to note $MCB's loans are 80% CRE.

And 19% of those are in a category called "Other".

WTF? Image
🧵8/Ω
In addition to it's vast commercial real estate loan portfolio that is going to absolutely eat shit in the next few years $MCB has about a half billion in treasuries and mortgage backed securities...

Also all of the same long term kind that sank $SIVB.

🧵9/Ω
If we look at $MCB's employees' work histories we find a whole lot of references to small banks convicted of fraud:

- $SBNY
- #CrossRiverBank (@coinbase's bank, #PPP loan fraud accusations f. Congress)
- #HSBC (🚩)
- Deutsche Bank
- Popular Bank
- Bank of China

What's that thing the smart short sellers say about executives leaving the firm being the #1 best indicator that something is wrong at a company? Image
🧵11/Ω
Almost no one at $MCB has been there even two years. It makes me think the ongoing NYDFS investigation and soon to be written civil and / or criminal charges for the bank led NYDFS to restructure it...

At which point $MCB got bed w/crypto (#CryptoCom, #Voyager. #Revolut) ImageImageImageImage
🧵12/Ω
Morgan Stanley released a report on "who is still banking crypto" where they confirm what has been alleged on Twitter for a while now:

That $MCB is still banking #CryptoCom despite removing #CDC's logo from their investor presentation. ImageImage
🧵13/Ω
If you want to know why that's a bad idea read my old threads about $MCB or #CryptoCom or read this substack post I wrote.

tl;dr #CryptoCom is a not a legitimate company and had their European funds seized for money laundering.

Morgan Stanley also reporting that $MCB has four (4!) active crypto clients as of January 2023 but then only lists 3 (and one of them might not be a "banking client").

Who are the other ones?

Also lol at all these sus banks offering #TassatPay AKA #SigNET by $SBNY. Image
🧵15/Ω
Countdown to $MCB's cry of "misinformation from short sellers"...

🧐 $MCB's twitter account announces that they will be getting new deposits from America's "visas for cash" program...

they hired the team from $SBNY.

@eliant_capital @AlderLaneEggs @ParrotCapital @otteroooo @Frances_Coppola @davidgerard @ahcastor 🧵 BTW since when do law firms double up as journalistic enterprises and release "breaking news"? $MCB

🧵 If you're unfamiliar with the EB-5 "visas for cash" program, here's some of its greatest hits:

Surely it's just a coincidence that $2 billion worth of #Tether was printed at what was probably the exact same hour on the same day the US government moved to dump $212 million in Bitcoin onto the market at #Coinbase and half of that was $USDT accepted in $COIN's market?

🚨 #CryptoCom is who $MCB is banking fren... All that USD flowing into and out of the American banking system seems to pass through them. And they are STILL banking #CryptoCom according to #CDC's own site.

#BinanceUS:

1. You can't withdraw crypto.
2. Or use ACH payments.
3. Or a debit card.
4. Also our #ApplePay just got terminated
5. Wire transfer is green but wires only work during business hours aka "not right now"

Have fun out there traders!
Happy trading all you cute #Binancians! Let's post some fun memes about how all our money is gone forever! ImageImage
Just to clarify it's only *some* crypto they admit you can't trade: $BUSD.

Also all of this is just temporary. I'm sure #BinanceUS will find a new banking partner "soon". After all it's only taken #Binance what, 70 days to find one?

70 days... so far. Image

$MCB sends out hail mary press release about their strong financial position as of yesterday (morning or afternoon? Funny you don't say...) at the end of a day their stock crashed almost 30%.

yesterday was a whole different world fren.

ngmi Image
reminder that $MCB sent out a similar even more vague / weird press release about its great financial position just like 2 weeks ago.

I'm guessing Jamie Dimon also sends out a presser about Chase's strong financials every 10-15 days. Keeps a bank young.
🧵 just to thread up this incredibly astute observation by @SEC_digger about which numbers $MCB chose not to update from where they were on Dec. 31st, 2022:

It's interesting to look at what #CFTC is asking the court for in the #Binance complaint:

1. Stop all trading immediately
2. Give us all the money
3. Actually give us more than all the money
4. Including salaries of all executives (lol @prhillman)
5. Jury trial ImageImageImageImage
@prhillman 6. No one associated with #Binance in any form should ever be allowed to trade commodities, futures, or other derivatives in the American market ever again ("permanent injunction")
* small correction: @PRHillmann is Binance US's CSO not CEO
