These J6 defendants say they have been treated like “domestic terrorists” despite being convicted of relatively low-level crimes.
“Getting de-banked is one of the worst experiences a person could go through. All of your auto payments cease and you are scrambling to find a new bank so you can rejoin society,” Mr. Evans told The Washington Times.A dozen Jan. 6 defendants interviewed by The Times said they experienced similar de-banking by a wide range of financial institutions, payment processing services and crowdfunding platforms.
Several banks said they shut down accounts because of perceived risks. When asked about the treatment of the Jan. 6 defendants compared to other people convicted of similar crimes, the banks said the termination of customer accounts was never based on political considerations. “GoFundMe will remove fundraisers that attempt to spread misinformation about the election, promote conspiracy theories and contribute to or participate in attacks on U.S. democracy.”Department of Justice
When The Times inquired about the FBI’s contact with financial institutions regarding Jan. 6 defendants, the FBI said it does not comment on ongoing investigations.
