Re: Memo #2 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement
<https://www.justice.gov/criminal-fraud/file/1329926/download>

Dear Mr. Marzulli:

The Department of Justice has yet to respond to Memo #1 with our recent
inquiry
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OsxfjN3TUepftKklopkQDSMwFWstWozuku4IPPuV1ho/edit>
to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad Deferred Agreement. Goldman Sachs' Deferred
Prosecution Agreement
<https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/goldman-sachs-resolves-foreign-bribery-case-and-agrees-pay-over-29-billion>
with the United States of America is in potential breach, with ethical
enforcement being concerned.

Memo #2 aims to associate the malfeasance in Malaysia with the Middle
East.

The Bank of London vs. The Bank of London and the Middle East

November 30, 2021 two New York based firms lead investment in The Bank
of London based in the United Kingdom.
-

July 1, 2007 The Bank of London and the Middle East opened in the United
Kingdom.
-

The Bank of London and the Middle East confirms they have no association
with The Bank of London (correspondence referenced here

<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZLYO6qxOX5TIn0kPd69SQbvG-mn0I5R_/view?usp=sharing>
).

The Bank of London seemingly has been funded from New York to irritate the
Middle East. Recently, we made 91 highlights of research
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O2piNMJ3CI0wbfaFW33to3KhgOgZ8-dl/view?usp=sharing>
associated with The Bank of London and the Middle East's recent sale to a
firm in Kuwait.

Harvey Schwartz is the Chairperson at The Bank of London, after spending
over 20 years at Goldman Sachs Group, where he oversaw sales and trading,
finance, technology, and operations. He completed his tenure as the firm’s
President and Co-Chief Operating Officer. He joined Goldman Sachs in 1997
and subsequently held numerous senior leadership positions including Chief
Financial Officer, Global Co-Head of the Securities Division, amongst other
positions. He additionally served as a member of the firm’s Management
Committee and co-headed its Risk Committee, Steering Committee on
Regulatory Reform and Finance Committee. Mr. Schwartz established the
firm’s Investment Policy Committee on which he also served as a member.

It would appear that Mr. Schwartz has no friendly diplomatic agenda in
London banking, potentially looking to profit off of The Bank of London and
the Middle East.

Furthermore, Goldman Sachs seemingly has a part in the scheme from New York.

Bank of London and the Middle East is listed on the NASDAQ, Dubai.

Mr. Marzulli, during a recent telephone discussion together it was your
general assessment that the Deferred Agreement in question was self
policing. Can you kindly advise at your earliest convenience what (if any)
DOJ systems, processes and control mechanisms are in place to monitor the
purity of the Deferred Agreement?
-

Furthermore, if the Deferred Agreement is self-policing, can the DOJ
kindly share any and all supporting material information that would prevent
the agreement from being violated without the DOJ's general oversight?
-

Finally, we have made 28 highlights to Deferred Agreement

<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yx88RMoeLyyfbNK0RtPl4r-m8N21_1Sp/view?usp=sharing>
as a reference resource tool.

Memo #1 and Memo #2 both outline instances that correspond with the
associated highlight references. We are concerned that potential breaches
to the Deferred Agreement are impacting our global enterprise.

We are looking forward to learning more about the DOJ’s approach to
assessing any potential breaches to the Deferred Agreement’s mandates.

Respectfully yours with anticipation,

SEXUAL HARASSMENT BY GOVERNOR ANDREW M. CUOMO STATE OF NEW YORK
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
LETITIA JAMES:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZCy-8lHFc0AAihuWP8UpXg0LC4CkLnw_/view?usp=drivesdk

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We, the investigators appointed to conduct an investigation into
allegations of sexual
harassment by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, conclude that the Governor engaged
in conduct constituting sexual harassment under federal and New York State
law. Specifically, we find that the Governor sexually harassed a number of
current and former New York State employees by, among other things,
engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching, as well as making
numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created
a hostile work environment for women. Our investigation revealed that the
Governor’s sexually harassing behavior was not limited to members of his
own staff, but extended to other State employees, including a State Trooper
on his protective detail and members of the public. We also conclude that
the Executive Chamber’s culture—one filled with fear and intimidation,
while at the same time normalizing the Governor’s frequent flirtations and
gender-based comments—contributed to the conditions that allowed the sexual
harassment to occur and persist. That culture also influenced the improper
and inadequate ways in which the Executive Chamber has responded to
allegations of harassment.1



Executive Assistant #1’s Hesitation to Report Governor Cuomo’s Conduct

Executive Assistant #1 repeatedly testified that she felt she had to
tolerate the Governor’s physical advances and suggestive comments because
she feared the repercussions if she did
not.183 She did not feel she could tell anyone, including her colleagues
and her direct supervisors.184 In addition, the Governor had specifically
told her—with respect to the selfie they took together—that she was not to
share it or tell anyone about it other than Ms. McGrath.185 Executive
Assistant #1 testified that she needed the income (including the
overtime pay received from working on weekends), particularly as she was
going through a divorce and was focused on not risking losing her job.186

Executive Assistant #1’s hesitance to report the Governor’s conduct was
also informed
by her observation of the Executive Chamber’s reactions to other women’s
allegations against the Governor. In mid-to-late December 2020, Executive
Assistant #1 personally witnessed what she felt were the Executive

Report: “Flash Flooding Is the Number One Storm-Related Killer in the U.S.” Few Cities or Towns in America Are Built to Survive Its Wrath

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: October 3, 2024 ~

Flooding from Hurricane Helene in Ashville, NC, Friday, September 28, 2024
Flooding from Hurricane Helene in Asheville, NC, Friday, September 28, 2024

As desperate and traumatized residents of Western North Carolina have
learned over the past week, everything Americans thought they knew about
storm threats must now be reexamined. Some Western North Carolina counties
located 485 miles north of where Hurricane Helene made landfall as a
Category 4 hurricane on September 26 in Florida’s Big Bend area have
reported more deaths than the entire state of Florida.

At yesterday’s press briefing in Buncombe County, North Carolina, Sheriff
Quentin Miller reported that the death toll for his county from Hurricane
Helene had reached 61; that’s four times the 14 Hurricane Helene-related
deaths that the state of Florida is reporting.

As of this morning, total deaths reported in all states impacted by
Hurricane Helene is 190, making it the deadliest hurricane to hit the U.S.
mainland since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

After wiping out communities on Florida’s northern coastline from Gulf of
Mexico storm surge and 140 mph winds, Hurricane Helene delivered deadly
blows inland from flash flooding as it moved north through Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), “Flash flooding is the
number one storm-related killer in the United States.” The NWS defines
flash flooding as follows:

“A flash flood is a rapid rise of water along a stream or in a low-lying
urban area. Flash flooding can result from slow-moving thunderstorms, from
numerous thunderstorms which develop repeatedly over the same area, or from
heavy rains associated with tropical cyclones. These floods may develop
within minutes, depending on the intensity of the rainfall, the topography,
soil conditions, and ground cover.”

The high death toll in Buncombe County comes from two major rivers, the
French Broad River and the Swannanoa River, overflowing their banks with
raging torrents of water sweeping away homes, businesses, and cars. Much of
the county has been developed like a dangerous bowl, with rainfall from the
surrounding Blue Ridge mountains flowing downhill into heavily populated
areas, like the city of Asheville, where FEMA and the National Guard
continue to truck and airlift food and water to residents cut off from
running water, electricity and cell phone service — seven days after the
flash flooding hit.

Thousands of towns and cities across the U.S. are at serious risk of flash
flooding as their storm drains were never constructed to handle the
unprecedented amounts of rainfall now occurring per hour during major storm
events.

The North Carolina State Climate Office posted a chart showing
record-setting 3-day rainfall totals at 12 Weather Stations in Western
North Carolina. According to the Busick, North Carolina Weather Station, as
of 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Busick had recorded 79.02 inches of rain
year-to-date – but an unprecedented 31.33 inches of that rain came in the
three-day period of September 25-27, during the approach of and landfall of
Hurricane Helene.

Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have released
preliminary findings that “Climate change may have caused as much as 50%
more rainfall during Hurricane Helene in some parts of Georgia and the
Carolinas.”

In September 2023, radar in the town of Leominster, Massachusetts recorded
7.9 inches of rain falling in an hour, creating dangerous flash floods,
flooded homes and businesses, and sink holes that stunned area residents.

For the stealthy role that one fossil fuels juggernaut, Koch Industries,
has played in climate change, see our report: A Fossil Fuels Giant Has Been
Raising the Election Chances of Extreme-Right Candidates — Using a
Dangerous High-Tech Weapon.

Tens of millions of Americans are living under the illusion that their city
and town faces no catastrophic threat from flooding. A large part of that
illusion stems from local politicians refusing to accurately report deaths
from drowning during major storm events.

On November 1, 2012 Wall Street On Parade reported the following about
deaths in New York City from Hurricane Sandy:

“Despite what the paper of record would have you believe, Hurricane Sandy
was not about killer trees. Hurricane Sandy, like Hurricane Katrina, was
about killer water.

“The New York Times put it this way on Tuesday, before the death toll had
climbed even higher: ‘There were 22 deaths reported in New York City, where
the toll was heaviest, and 5 more fatalities elsewhere in the state. Most
of all, it was the trees. Uprooted or cracked by the furious winds, they
became weapons that flattened cars, houses and pedestrians.’

“Here’s the way those last
