Wells Fargo has shut down the bank account of America First activist Lauren Witzke, leaving her stranded out of state with completely no money.
In a post on Telegram, Witzke, who ran as the Republican candidate for the Senate in Delaware in the 2020 elections, revealed that Wells Fargo had completely shut down her bank account, removing all of her money from the system, leaving her with a “zero balance” instead. In a call with the bank, Witzke was informed that the action taken was a purely “business decision,” and that they have the right to close her account down at any time. “Had I not been surrounded by friends in Florida, I would be completely stranded,” she wrote, as she would be stuck out of state with absolutely no money at all.
The lack of explanation from Wells Fargo as to why they closed down Witzke’s bank account opens questions as to why the decision was taken to begin with, and if it had anything to do with her Christian conservative politics. Witzke is a current presenter with TruNews, a Christian broadcast network, and has stood up for America First policies, including joining with fellow conservative activists Nick Fuentes, Laura Loomer, and Michelle Malkin, to push for a greater crackdown on Big Tech in Florida. She had been removed from Twitter after calling out a transgender activist for saying that little girls are “kinky.”

Anyone familiar with WF’s past history should avoid doing any kind of business with them...
Most national banks are regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The Federal Reserve supervises and regulates many large banking institutions because it is the federal regulator for bank holding companies (BHCs).

Wells Fargo is a bank holding company, so it is regulated by the FED.
This is why I use cash alot and always have cash on me or near me. You should move to cash too.
If you have a source for that, I’d appreciate it.
I’d like to shove it up somebody’s ass.
Oh I know it happens, now. But when you’re fresh out of college in the big bad world, it was scary. No different that the home loan fiasco of 2008 (I think)
When we travel, wife & I ALWAYS call to notify any relevant credit card companies about the planned trip...
Trivial matter with our AMEX (credit) and BOA (credit & debit) cards...
PITA with a couple of other cards...(That we never use at all anymore, as a result)
My wife did the same. Better service with a smile and always a dog biscuit for Shadow.
No, they cannot confiscate her money. What they can do legally is close the account and take up to six weeks to send her funds to her. Whether in the form of a bank check, or wire transfer to another bank who she opens an account with.
Yes, that's right: They can take up to six weeks to send her money back to her.
I briefly dealt with Wells Fargo, but no more. I frankly can’t understand why they are in business.
No, they can close down the account and disburse the funds—usually in the form of a check sent to the address on record.
And yes…every bank can do that to any account.
Not making a comment on the person or circumstances…just clarifying what a bank can do.
Note, there are no donations to any candidate or other cause, meaning the $300K is just spent on travel, expenses, her salary, etc. This is for 2020, so she has likely raised a lot more money in 2021.
If you research her, she is a druggie and a flat earth, 9/11 truther, Sandy Hook staged nutcase. She is also qtard, so she gets support from them. The PAC’s Treasurer was also treasurer for Witzke’s failed Senate campaign. And just coincidentally, Hold the Line’s money is held in a Wells Fargo account. I wonder if that is the account that was frozen? Or it might just be a coincidence...
Or it could be as simple as some fraudulent activity on her account. So yeah, I’ll wait to see what happens here.
Dang! You beat me to it.. GMTA
The federal reserve and fractional reserve banking have been the greatest threat to our nation since it’s inception.
Velcome to Newmerica vhere you vill obey.
Your attention is invited to post #131 in this thread.
Asshole.
This is a freakin outrage if true. And it will likely cause a run on the banks.
Former U.S. House candidate and current American Greatness contributor Pete D’Abrosca found out on Tuesday that Wells Fargo had cancelled his savings account “with no explanation.” The news comes immediately after Wells Fargo closed the account of America First activist Lauren Witzke, leaving her stranded out-of-state with no money.
D’Abrosca first reported the news on Twitter, writing “@WellsFargo just closed my accounts with no explanation. I’m sure it has *nothing* to do with my political opinions.”
Uh-huh. You were saying?
I am in favor of using the hand of government, the hand of the people, and the hand of God in destroying companies that attempt to force their political beliefs on others through their control of public utilities.
But don't let that deter you from wanting to eliminate peoples' rights because they don't share your politics.
