So they found a lot of small things that they made a big deal out of, but what they didn't find was any evidence that the bank was facilitating tax evasion or money laundering or any financial crimes or anything even similar to what was alleged in the 60 Minutes broadcast or the New York Times article.

Of course, I won my defamation lawsuit against 60 Minutes Australia, against Nick McKenzie and Charlotte Grieve, and against The Age because they had no evidence that my bank did anything wrong, yet they lied and pretended that it did anyway.

So there was a lot of pressure, but I knew they found nothing wrong, and I knew that when the bank got shut down, even the OSIF commissioner reluctantly had to admit, because she got a question from a reporter, that there was no evidence that the bank did anything wrong, that the bank committed crimes, that the bank was just being shut down because it was critically insolvent, which I knew was a lie.

I knew we weren't insolvent at all, let alone critically so.
