The great irony is they didn't give us much of a choice.
They created this monster.
When you had every big bank in the world...
for doing nothing wrong, just based on the fact that we all wore a hat that said, make America great again.
My father happened to be running as a Republican, canceled us.
I mean, I was getting these calls, 300 bank accounts, Capital One, in the middle of the night.
These are commercial buildings, residential buildings, golf courses around the world.
These aren't political entities.
And they were pulling these accounts from us like we were absolute dogs.
We couldn't pay our vendors.
We couldn't pay employees.
And so we said, listen, there has to be a better way.
I think we're trying to modernize finance.
We're the most canceled people in the world in 2020, 2021.
And it's really great to almost have this retribution where all of a sudden we started pushing an agenda.
Our agenda was to modernize finance, to allow that to never, ever, ever happen to anybody again.
In the first term, we actually said, we're not going to do any foreign deals.
And the reality is it didn't stop the media from constantly saying, you're profiteering anyway.
It was like we stopped entirely.
So this time around we said, hey, we're going to play by the rules, but we're not going to go so far as to stymie our business forever, lock ourselves in a proverbial padded room, because it almost doesn't matter.
