COURT, Jan 9 – Wells
Fargo, one of the less than a
handful of banks which
dominate the industry in the
United States, is asking a
federal court to shut down a
website. More
on Patreon here.
Wells
Fargo's motion, filed on
January 8, complains that
"Defendants have re-posted the
very website that defames and
threatens Wells Fargo and its
employees, agents, attorneys,
and vendors involved in this
litigation. See Exhibit A,
http://www.wwshrimp.com,
Website Screen Shots captured
1/7/20. Defendants should now
be immediately ordered to take
down the Website and should be
permanently enjoined from
re-posting any of its content
again in any public forum."
While describing a bank or its
lawyers as prostitutes is not
nice - and may as to the bank
reverse the analysis - Inner
City Press finds it highly
problematic that a mega-bank,
particularly one so recently
bailed out by the public,
should be trying to shut down
a website.
We will continue
to follow this case, and many
others, with a particular line
of stories about misdeeds by
banks. Watch - and feel free
