Should the material under the Investigation, Exoneration, and Lawsuit subheading be edited so that it reads as below, which is as per the edit at Special:Diff/1193525256, such that this becomes the established consensus for this section until such time that alternative consensus is established?
"On June 30, 2022, the Puerto Rico Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF) announced they had suspended the operations of Puerto Rico-based Euro Pacific International Bank, which officials said was under suspicion of facilitating money laundering and offshore tax evasion. [1] [2] The OCIF ordered Euro Pacific Bank to be shut down due to insufficient capitol. In a latter settlement the regulators acknowledged the bank did have sufficient cash at hand. [3] Schiff claimed the OCIF actions were due to the allegations by 60 Minutes Australia, The Age newspaper, and the subsequent investigations, saying, "There was no way those allegations were true, but once those stories broke, the bank's business imploded". [3] Operation Atlantis yielded no charges of money laundering or any other illegal activity. [3] In 2022 Schiff filed civil action against the Nine Network and The Age newspaper for defamation over the Australian 60 Minutes interview and subsequent Age articles. [4] On November 21 the civil action was settled. [4] As part of the settlement, Schiff was paid more than $360,000 by Nine Networks and The Age, and all versions of the broadcast were permanently removed by the respondents. [4]"
Additionally should the subheading be adjusted such that it reads "Investigation and Lawsuit" instead of "Investigation, Exoneration, and Lawsuit"? TarnishedPath talk 05:11, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
On June 30, 2022, the Puerto Rico Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF) announced they had suspended the operations of Schiff's Puerto Rico-based Euro Pacific International Bank, which was suspected of having facilitated money laundering and tax evasion. The Commissioner stated that it had found numerous violations of its regulations and that the bank had "not wanted to comply". Regulators liquidated the bank, and Schiff paid $300,000 in fines. [5] [6] [3] Peter Schiff claimed that the OCIF actions were due to allegations made by 60 Minutes Australia, and The Age newspaper, saying, "There was no way those allegations were true, but once those stories broke, the bank's business imploded". [3] In 2022 Schiff filed a civil action against the Nine Network and The Age newspaper for defamation over the Australian 60 Minutes interview and subsequent Age articles. [4] On November 21 the civil action was settled. [4] Schiff stated that he lost millions of dollars due to the actions of the regulatory authorities. In a settlement of his defamation claim, he was paid $360,000 to settle the litigation, and the respondents removed all versions of the broadcast. [4]
Pinging @ Viriditas, @ Mkstokes, @ Markj573, @ Ravensfire, @ Davide King, @ Dumuzid, @ RetroCosmos, @ Sentaso, @ BlackcurrantTea, @ David Gerard, @ Ohnoitsjamie, @ Akyrimos, @ Skywatcher68, @ Llll5032, @ SPECIFICO and @ Akyrimos as involved editors who have edited the section of text in question from when it became highly contested (which appears to be from April 2023 onwards when the civil action finalised). My apologies if I've missed anyone, it is not intended if I have I just had to look over a couple of hundred edits to try and work out what was related to the investigation section and what wasn't. I didn't realise that it has gone on for so long. If I had I would have started an RfC sooner. TarnishedPath talk 10:33, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
