Court of Appeals ruling - Banks may take money from Allocated Accounts

The 7th Court of Appeals has ruled Banking institutions can take any funds entrusted to them by clients in allocated accounts on deposit may be used as collateral for loans with other financial institutions to fund their proprietary trading (ala Jon Corzine).

You can read the technicals here :

here you can get a feel for the impact of a decision here:

Debunkers - FYI, a key position in the Police State/Global Conspiracy Theory is that the government will allow corproations and financial Institutions to legally steal your money and property nullifying any rights we are suposed to have regarding private property. You have to show that this is bunk and just a conspiracy theory else it sets a dangerous precendence in favor of what the conpsiracy theorists have been saying.

For years they've been warning that this kind of thing will hapopen, that the government will eventually remove all rights individuals have with regard to their property and rule in favor of corporations and large financial instituions and here we are.

Not only does this decission show this but the lack of main stream media coverage about it also goes to prove that the media is controlled just as the conspiracy theorists have been saying. Therefore you have to debunk this.

Here's another article on this: http://www.beaconequity.com/now-banks-can-legally-steal-retirement-accounts-2012-08-15/

And here is another "conspiracy like" sounding warning from Broker 'Ann Barnhardt' who packed up shop and sent back all monies to her clients that she had been managing, telling them that the system was no longer sustainable due to corruption and lack of protetcion: http://barnhardt.biz/

And what do we have here, it seems that the big boys (Soros, Paulson & Rothschild) are all betting That Financial Disaster Is Coming: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/...all-betting-that-financial-disaster-is-coming

Cheeple - Thanks posting this to begin with.
 
Ann Barhardt??

really??

Not that she is biased or anything...:)

Of course "financial disaster is coming"....because you read it on the "Economic Collapse Blog"...so, it must be true.
 
So, if I'm reading this correctly, the ruling states that a brokerage firm was transferring money out of non-lienable segregated client accounts to use as collateral against loans from the Bank of NY Melon. When the brokerage firm went bankrupt, The NY bank claimed the money, and the brokerage firm's clients lost out. The controversy is whether or not the brokerage firm committed fraud when transferring money from segregated accounts and if the bank had any liability in the mess.

So the first thing that jumps out is that this involves a brokerage firm and not a bank.

Second the firm's "clients" where the government, corporations and foreign traders.

Third, Sentinel maintained segregated accounts that held assets that could not be subject to any bank lien. These included accounts (corresponding with the lienable clearing accounts) for government, corporate, and foreign securities but no corresponding segregated account for physical securities.

This appears to be one group of bankers squabbling with another group of bankers because an intermediary group of bankers was using a dirty little loophole to make everyone some money. They were all friends until the whole thing went sour.

The conspiracy crowd claims that everyone's bank accounts are now at risk because the banks can use your money as they see fit. For once I think they are correct. Isn't that exactly what banks do? They take the majority of client deposits and make investments and loans. If the bank goes bankrupt client deposits are insured by the FDIC up to 250K.
 
Actually i posted the Technicals on my original post, and why so Biased against Ann Barnhardt the fact is she had a successful practice making alot of Federal Reserve Notes, she gave it all up and told her clients to prepare sorta like the 600 Banking professionals who have quit their job and liquidated their holdings since 9/11, or how George soros has purchased over $130 Million allocated Gold, it sounds like your biased against Ann Barnhardt.

You dont understand what an allocated account is, it's your property, they are only the Custodian, sorta like JPMorgan Chase is the Custodian for the SLV, HSBC is the Custodian for the GLD.
 
Also I do feel this is related, the Department of Homeland security has been circulating a memo to banks that they may seize safety deposit boxes citing the "Patriot Act" and may seize Precious metals, Firearms unless prior to 1878, and Pornography to name a few or anything they view as "Contraband", This is an attack on our property rights and our 2nd amendment rights.

According to in-house memos now circulating, the DHS has issued orders to banks across America which announce to them that "under the Patriot Act" the DHS has the absolute right to seize, without any warrant whatsoever, any and all customer bank accounts, to make "periodic and unannounced" visits to any bank to open and inspect the contents of "selected safe deposit boxes."

Further, the DHS "shall, at the discretion of the agent supervising the search, remove, photograph or seize as evidence" any of the following items "bar gold, gold coins, firearms of any kind unless manufactured prior to 1878, documents such as passports or foreign bank account records, pornography or any material that, in the opinion of the agent, shall be deemed of to be of a contraband nature."

DHS memos also state that banks are informed that any bank employee, on any level, that releases "improper" "classified DHS Security information" to any member of the public, to include the customers whose boxes have been clandestinely opened and inspected and "any other party, to include members of the media" and further "that the posting of any such information on the internet will be grounds for the immediate termination of the said employee or employees and their prosecution under the Patriot Act."
Safety deposit box holders and depositors are not given advanced notice when failed banks shut their doors.

If people have their emergency money in a safe deposit box or an account in a bank that closes, they will not be allowed into the bank to get it out. They can knock on the door and beg to get in but the sheriff’s department or whoever is handling the closure will simply say “no” because they are just following orders.

Deposit box and account holders are not warned of the hazards of banking when they sign up. It is not until they need to get their cash or valuables out in a hurry that they find themselves in trouble.

Rules governing access to safe deposit boxes and money held in accounts are written into the charter of each bank. The charter is the statement of policy under which the bank is allowed by the government to do business. These rules are subject to change at any time by faceless bureaucrats who are answerable to no one. They can be changed without notice, without the agreement of the people, and against their will. People can complain but no one will care because this is small potatoes compared to the complaints that will be voiced when the executive order that governs national emergencies is enforced.

That order allows the suspension of habeas corpus and all rights guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.

A look at the fine print of the contract signed when a safety deposit box is opened reveals that in essence the signer has given to the bank whatever property he has put into that deposit box. When times are good people will be allowed open access to their safe deposit box and the property that is in it. This also applies to their bank accounts.

But when times get really bad, many may find that the funds they have placed on deposit and the property they thought was secured in the safe deposit box now belong to the bank, not to them. Although this was probably not explained to them when they signed their signature card, this is what they were agreeing to.

During the Great Depression in the early 1930’s people thought that many banks were going to fail. They were afraid they would lose their money so they went in mass to take it out, in what is known as a run on the banks. The government closed the banks to protect them from angry depositors who wanted their money back. Throughout history, governments have acted to protect the interests of banks and the wealthy people who own them, not the interests of depositors or box holders.

In a time of emergency, people will have no recourse if access to their safe deposit box and bank accounts is denied. If they are keeping money in a bank that would be needed in an emergency or in a time when credit is no longer free flowing, they may not be able to get it out of the bank. The emergency may occur at night or on a weekend or holiday when the bank is closed.

The solution is to take emergency cash or valuables out of the safe deposit box or bank account and secure them somewhere else, like in a home safe. An even better idea may be to close the safe deposit box account completely, letting someone else entertain the illusion of safety.
Americans have learned a few things since the Great Depression. They now have the FDIC to liquidate any failed banks.

The FDIC promises to set up a series of dates and times when safe deposit box renters can access their boxes by appointment to remove their property and surrender their keys. The FDIC also promises to mail bank customers an announcement of the dates for such events and include a question and answer page that addresses safe deposit box access.

The people have the FDIC to give them back the money they had on deposit that they were unable to get out of any failed bank that carries FDIC insurance. Sheila Bair, head of the FDIC, promises that depositor`s money will be available in 24 hours or less. But people should remember that the FDIC is just another bureaucracy, and it`s probably best not to rely on a bureaucracy in an emergency.



THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR STORAGE FACILITIES

And also sounds like nonsense, unless you can produce the memo.
 
Actually i posted the Technicals on my original post, and why so Biased against Ann Barnhardt the fact is she had a successful practice making alot of Federal Reserve Notes, she gave it all up and told her clients to prepare sorta like the 600 Banking professionals who have quit their job and liquidated their holdings since 9/11, or how George soros has purchased over $130 Million allocated Gold, it sounds like your biased against Ann Barnhardt.


Why am I skeptical of Ann Barnhardt? Cuz she has very fringe ideas to put it mildly- she bases a lot of her comments on fear and hate- she thinks Obama is the "anti-christ"

Do you?

http://muccings.blogspot.com/2012/05/ann-barnhardt-on-obamas-gay-marriage.html

She claims The Health Care bill is the establishment of "Sharia diktat": Do you?

http://zionstrumpet.com/2011/10/06/ann-barnhardt-discusses-islam-dhimmitude-and-christian-betrayal/

Its hard to take her seriously when she is so extreme in her views and so blatantly full of hate. Burning Korans and such.


Of course, she also thinks 9/11 was NOT an inside job and buys the official story completely:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uywa9ZogXdk



"600 bank proffesionals"...?? So, what does that even mean? a teller quit her job and sold her stocks? thats approximately 54 "banking professionals" per year since 9/11...

Can you provide any more info or source for that claim...just seems like hyperbole...grasping at straws to stoke the fear...
 
And also sounds like nonsense, unless you can produce the memo.
Did a search, cant locate the actual memo only the same story circulating all over the place, Let's hope this is all BS, I do know there is no limit to this govt power grab from Killing American Citizens without due process to unconstitutionally disarming Law Abiding citizens of their 2A rights in Katrina both of which are fact and indisputable. I could go on Tuskegee experiments, the Gulf of Tonkin, etc. we cannot go on pretending the government has our best interests in mind with the list of atrocities the govt has committed against it's own citizens with disclosure, imagine what has not been disclosed.
 
"600 bank proffesionals"...?? So, what does that even mean? a teller quit her job and sold her stocks? thats approximately 54 "banking professionals" per year since 9/11...
No thats not what it means, we're talking about CEO's and high level Professionals, many have liquidated assets and gone full into Real Estate, Precious Metals, and Land in low populated areas.
 
As a commenter on our local newspaper says.....no documentation.....no proof...no good.

Not just extremist sites or people trying to sell you things...but something verifiable from multiple reliable sources.


Can you provide any of the above?
 
^ but you insinuate that all these departures are because they fear imminent economic collapse....the reality is that it's for a myriad reasons.
 
^ but you insinuate that all these departures are because they fear imminent economic collapse....the reality is that it's for a myriad reasons.

First it would be nice if acknowledged the evidence, and yes all of those resignations have been since 2011, they know something is pending, 600+ Banking CEO's and other high level professionals dont just give up lucrative multi million dollar jobs.
 
@cheeple- well, not all of the links works so, I do not know all the claims to be entirely accurate.

But look at the various reasons- retiring, forced out by colleagues, death etc....

You claim you "know" what they "know" but that is just speculation that you try to pass off as fact.

It would be nice if you acknowledged what a wack job Ann Barnhart is....
 
You have names and banks each one can be confirmed, over 600 Banking Professionals have resigned and skipped town, it's true and verifiable there is no room for dispute.

LOL Bro I only heard of Ann Barnhart yesterday, LITERALLY on silverdoctors. Yes over 600 of those bankers resigned, forced out or died I'm sure it's nothing though...............
 
Sorry - not buying it.

How may resigned the previous year? And the year before that? What is the average number of reginations, death etc...

LOOK at the specific incidences...some are only board members leaving, some are small town bank execs retiring after 40 yrs, some took jobs at other banks, some were forced out, some died! Did the dude have heart attack cuz he knew economic collapse was coming? Must. Have read it on the Economic Collapse blog....lol
 
So you acknowledge that over 600 Banking professionals from around the world have retired, were forced out, or died since September 2001 ( i edited my post dont know why i said in the last year), the question has changed to "why", well first I think any rational person would find it very suspicious that all these Banking professionals would give up easy money, sure some died, we'll say for sake of argument there is nothing suspect with that, but thats a very small percentage less than 1%. Well since we're past the question of if over 600 bankers have skipped town we can get into the why of the matter, I believe it's because they fear something economically related, simply because it adds up, these are bankers, if these were NASA Scientists then it wouldnt add up. Let me ask you, does anything seem fishy to you? or does it sound completely normal.
 
Of course "financial disaster is coming"....because you read it on the "Economic Collapse Blog"...so, it must be true.

They've been saying that since Anti-Christ Clinton was elected.

It's some kind of nutter right-wing christians who run that. Probably one of the greatest sources of propaganda, disinformation and misinformation on the internet.

Very accusatory and presumptuous, I provided a comprehensive list as requested.
 
I said I was done.....but really? 600 banking people around the world (out of how many?) have quit, been forced out, retired or died. Oh my yes...that must be an indication of....uhhhhh of......uhhh.

Not very articulate but you didnt answer my question, Does anything seem out of the ordinary to you? Rationally I mean.
 
Does anything seem out of the ordinary to you? Rationally I mean.

No....not even a little bit. 600 people died, quit, were forced out or possibly changed to a new field.....over 11 years? In a huge worldwide industry?

Wow....yes...thats seems...uh...typical?

Thanks for the insult btw...says a lot.

I noticed you put 600 people died, quit, or were forced out which is actually out of order but it makes your case, it was Resigned, forced out, and a miniscule amount who actually physically died. and I didnt mean to insult you take a look at what you wrote:

that must be an indication of....uhhhhh of......uhhh
.
Wasnt trying to be mean, it was so unarticulate i didnt even understand what it meant.
But ok if you dont think anything is out of the ordinary, I still see something very out of the ordinary going on, but it almost seems like if you dont hear it on the mainstream news or straight from the Office of the president then it's not reliable? If this were 600 NASA scientists who resigned and bought underground shelters it's easy to disseminate from the information available, but these are Bankers and Bankers love making money.
 
And you throw in buying underground shelters...where was that ever brought up?

Maybe you should check NASA...with the downsizing over the last 11 yrs...I'm sure at least 600 professionals (they are not all "scientists") have taken a hike.
 
does anything seem fishy to you? or does it sound completely normal.

It IS normal for people to retire, to quit to pursue other jobs (some took other jobs in BANKING), to die, to get forced out etc...I am sure you will agree that is normal.

The issue is the volume of the turnover.

Keep in mind this list is global...so, 600 people over 11yrs across the globe does not seem "fishy"...but that is why I asked what is the average turnover for this industry for a similar time frame.

Just taking and aggregate number and insinuating the cause of the number is because they all "know" something is speculation...but not speculation based on logic or precedent.
 
And you throw in buying underground shelters...where was that ever brought up?
No I'm saying if 600 NASA scientists resigned and bought underground shelters that would be a red flag, and even though the mainstream media didnt report why the quit and why they bought underground shelters it could only have one logical reason, they are preparing. That was totally Hypothetical, my point is when 600 CEO's, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Chief Financial Officers, and other banking Giants cut the cord it's easy easy to form a rational explanation.

Damn really? doesnt seem Logical? well only time will tell.

sorry- false analogy.

If all 600 were from the same bank then maybe...but these are people from a wide range of banks from all over the world...
 
Damn really? doesnt seem Logical? well only time will tell.

Look at each individual incident...several I looked at the person resigned one position only to remain at the institution in another role...hardly fleeing a sinking ship.

This guy resigned because he was joining the Federal Reserve- lets see how you twist that into your meme:

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20111220006302/en

You think it is "fishy" because it fits into your predilection for collapse scenarios..

but I have asked you several times- how does this volume compare to other time frames or other industries.

Just seeing "600 bankers quit" and thinking you KNOW that they "quit" (when they didn't all quit) because they fear an economic collapse is illogical and doesn't bear up to scrutiny.

Can't you see that?

They didn't all resign.

They weren't even all "bankers"- several on the list were merely board members...
 
yes they are from all over, which makes it all the more legitimate.

No- sorry...you can't have it both ways- You said what if they were all from NASA...? suggesting if they all quit NASA then something would be up because of the concentration...

but this is spread out across the industry, across the world...

What percentage of the world's "bankers" is this??

What is the typical rate of turnover for "bankers"?

until you can even begin to put this in context you are just blowing hot air.

what do you think a board member of a bank is? I could post the list but it is HUGE, take another look at the list, most of them quit and split they didnt resign from CEO to become marketing director or something like that, they are GONE, and I have not made any prediction of economic collapse metaphysical or otherwise, look at the evidence, look at the debt, the major players resigning, buying Gold, shorting currencies, I have nothing to gain from an economic collapse, I wish I was living in the sixties where you could work, save, send your kids to college, retire, and die. It's not gonna be so simple for many of Americans once what little paper wealthy people have is wiped out.

allow me to rephrase my hypothetical scenario, let's not call them NASA, lets call them Space Scientist or Astronomy professionals, this point is hardly even worth going any further, your strawman arguments only take away from facts.
 
Board members are typically non-paid positions held by people from other companies and industries....being on the board of bank doesn't you a "banker".

Asking for context is hardly a straw man argument.

Taking series of individual incidents and ascribing them all to a single purpose is not logical way to think.

Ok these board members were fully paid for their services, look at the List, CEO's, CFO's Presidents, Vice Presidents, and their Foreign Equivalents. Your ignoring the hard core facts, Your position is all 611 quit for 611 unique reasons, thats obsurd, now it's just debunking for the sake of debunking.
 
Your position is all 611 quit for 611 unique reasons, thats obsurd, now it's just debunking for the sake of debunking.

But they DID quit, retire, get fired, die for unique reasons....it's you wanting to group all of these incidents together under a unified purpose- for the sake of confirming your bias - that is rediculous.

For the last time...can you present ANY context to show that this volume is unusual in any way?
