The information was first reported last week by Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, adding the data involved the recent purchasing history of its customers in Washington, DC:
Carlson: “[Fox News] has exclusively obtained evidence that Bank of America … is actively but secretly engaged in the hunt for extremists in cooperation with the government. Bank of America is, without the knowledge or the consent of its customers, sharing private information with federal law enforcement agencies. Bank of America effectively is acting as an intelligence agency, but they’re not telling you about it.”
One News Now spoke with Justin Danhof of the Free Enterprise Project at National Center for Public Policy Research, who finds it “shocking” that Bank of America, in such a broad action, “would so willingly give away the data of their own clients to help … ferret out conservatives who may or may not have had anything to do with what happened on January 6th.”
“We used to have this thing called the Bill of Rights,” Danhof continues, “and [actions like this] need to be narrowly targeted to specific individuals. But this was a broad amount of information and a large number of individuals who were swept up in this information release that Bank of America gave to the feds.”
Bank of America told the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” program: “We don’t comment on our communications with law enforcement. All banks have responsibilities under federal law to cooperate with law enforcement inquiries in full compliance with the law.”
The New York Post tried to get the FBI to comment on this story, but the Bureau did not respond. Meanwhile, Bank of America did not say whether it was complying with a federal subpoena. The Bank did, however, offer the same statement it provided to Tucker Carlson.
Danhof’s organization owns shares in various companies so as to have a foot in the door and a say at shareholder meetings. “As an investor, we’ve reached out [regarding this report] and received no response,” he fumes.
“They’re basically acting as an arm of the government,” Danhof concludes. “When Minneapolis and St. Paul were being burned to the ground by Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM), did they turn over client data then? What about Portland and the so-called ‘Occupied Zone’? Were they giving information to the feds about anybody who used their Bank of America debit card to take some money out to buy some more Molotov cocktail setups?”
The National Center spokesman argues that aside from the fact that he personally would like answers to those questions, “the public has a right to know, the investors have a right to know, and Bank of America customers have a right to know.”

Bank of America cooperating with the Stasi / Gestapo corrupt FBI. Spy on those of us that are Conservative, as we Conservatives are all evil white supremacists, right Bank of America?
Easy solution.. EVERYONE CEASE doing business with BoA.. LET THEM SHUT DOWN from lack of funds!
Those big Banks and their High-Tech Customers have been releasing your personal information since Obama took office. They want the power to be able to give you a government cavity search, but no possibility of WE THE PEOPLE returning the favor. They do however cover their own backsides when their own funded terrorists are about to be exposed, like when APPPLE refused to unlock the phones to expose where the Muslim terrorists had been playing. Apparently Bank of America now views legal American Conservatives as the enemy. Which makes them OUR Enemy in need of defunding all Conservative accounts from their possession and post them into financial institutions that follow the law, not follow the socialist pack of wolves. Where are the stockholders for accountability? These B of A ingrates should be forced to pay back every penny of government financial aid received to bail them out of the 2008 real estate crash, also created by Libs who declared everyone is entitled to a mortgage and a home, backed up of course by personal assets of Mostly self-governing Conservatives with the wealth they were so eager to socially redistribute. The should also be forced to remove the “AMERICA” part from their name.
No double any accounts under the name of Biden have been locked tighter than Joe’s mouth when asked to tell us the truth.
That’s a good question.. WHERE ARE THE Stock holders, being outraged at this.?!?
BoA must think it is buying indulgences from the Feds now because they hope to be the last one eaten by the crocodile. BoA needs to change its name – remove “America” and replace it with “Commietown” or “Surveillance State” or “Big Brother”.
So, Did BofA help the FBI to identify people all of last year on the hundreds, if not thousands of riots, burnings and lootings from last year. My God, there was over a 100 just in Portland alone.
OR, did BofA just look the other way, like much of law enforcement did, and do a, “Catch and Release”?
Hell, they probably SHIELDED THEM, if the FBI asked for info..
