Major Bank Allegedly De-Banked Man Due To False ‘Russiagate’ Accusations From Left-Wing Blogger
JPMorgan Chase is facing a lawsuit after it allegedly defamed a man based on false allegations from an obscure left-wing blog post, according to a complaint provided to the Daily Caller.
The feud began when a left-wing blog, The Stern Facts, posted an article by Patrick Simpson. The post falsely claimed that Florida’s Jacob Gitman and his business Monarch Air Group, LLC were affiliated with the Russian Mafia and former President Donald Trump, according to an executive summary obtained by the Caller.
Monarch has contracts with the federal government and received $160,000 from the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the past twelve months, according to USA Spending. Monarch’s website states it is a private jet and air charter company that “provides mission critical supplies” to the federal government.
The small blog has not posted anything since 2020, yet it managed to allegedly catch the attention of Chase Bank. Simpson’s post claimed “judges in multiple states” asserted that Gitman’s business was a front for the Russian mob.
But according to the blogger himself, this claim was fabricated. Nonetheless, Chase seemingly used the blog post to help justify it’s decision to de-bank Gitman. (Read more from “Major Bank Allegedly De-Banked Man Due To False ‘Russiagate’ Accusations From Left-Wing Blogger” HERE)
