Capital One says it dumped Trump's accounts for sketchy vibes

Original version ·

Turns out, the bank didn't just wake up on the wrong side of the bed one day.

Capital One is currently asking a judge to toss a lawsuit from Trump’s business empire. They claim the mass shutdown of hundreds of accounts back in 2021 had nothing to do with any political drama. Instead, they point to a rigorous internal review that flagged serious money-laundering concerns.

It is a classic case of the bank looking at the books, seeing red flags, and deciding they would rather skip the headache entirely. It’s hard to imagine being so messy that a major bank decides you’re more trouble than your deposits are worth.
