  There certainly needs to be a redistribution of wealth and most of these large fintechs are the source of much of the fraud.   The UK is lagging Europe in tackling Fraud - I attend these talking shops that are organised and listen to a lot of Jaw Jaw..... but there is no War War on Fraud....    The guys at www.Wefightfraud.org   they  could do with some serious funding when this fraud tax IS eventually levied.... Why dont we all write to our MP's on this???

  WTF is happening in France? How on earth did the judge sign the search warrant?? (assuming prosecutors who conducted the bank raids bothered to follow due process.) Whatever is happening in the epitome of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity???
