Proof the IRS was the driving force behind OCIF's action against the bank.

New FOIA Evidence

These documents prove the IRS was the driving force behind OCIF’s action against the bank, that it was all done as a PR stunt for the J5, that need something to promote its brand internationally, and prove it could disrupt tax evasion and money laundering wherever it took place. It’s clear the J5 needed the bank shut down to achieve these ends. They also needed the press conference to promote the story, and may have even wrote the OCIF Commissioner’s prepared remarks for her. The J5 even admitted that but for their actions, the bank would not have been shut down.
