13-01-03 Stanley Fischer, FATCA, and Israeli banking regulation


For months, Bank of Israel's Stanley Fischer refused to respond on inquiries regarding the disposition of complaint against Bank HaPoalim's for its unlawful FATCA-related conduct.  Recent conversations with Bank HaPoalim and Bank of Israel staff now indicate that Bank of Israel secretly registgered and reviewed the complaint, without communicating its outcome to the complainant. Petition, filed with the Supreme Court of Israel alleges that Mr Fischer "substitutes his loyalty to the State of Israel and its laws with loyalty to another nation and its law, and/or with loyalty to financial institutions and their interests." Conduct of Mr Fischer, and Bank of Israel-Banking Regulation should raise concerns regarding integrity and stability of financial systems in the State of Israel. The State of Israel is unparalleled in its unconditional submission to the US FATCA.

Stanley Fisher, Governor of the Bank of Israel, FACTA is a United States act.


Jerusalem, January 3 – petition, previously filed with the Israeli Supreme Court, sought to compel Governor of the Bank of Israel Stanley Fischer to perform his duties as banking regulator.  Specifically, the petition sought to compel Stanley Fischer to duly register and review a complaint, relative to conduct of Bank HaPoalim, BM, vis a vis purported its enforcement the United States FATCA in the State of Israel. [1] 

In a letter, forwarded today to Mr Fischer and Bank of Israel-Banking Regulation, Mr Fischer is asked to immediately produce to the complainant all records, which a complainant is entitled to receive as part of due process of Banking Regulation Consumer's Complaints, pursuant to the law of the State of Israel. [2]

Conversations with Bank HaPoalim, BM, and Bank of Israel staff now indicate that the Bank of Israel eventually secretly registered the complaint against Bank HaPoalim, BM (No 82304-12) and conducted secret review of the complaint, and that its outcome was communicated to Bank HaPoalim, BM, but not to the complainant.

Today's letter to Mr Fischer states that it also appears that outcome of the review led Bank HaPoalim to believe that it was permitted to engage in even more extreme unlawful conduct against consumers in this matter. [3]

The petition to compel Mr Fischer to duly register and review the complaint alleges that in permitting Israeli banks to act as they will relative to the US FATCA, Stanley Fischer "undermines the rule of law", "sovereignty of the State of Israel", and "substitutes his loyalty to the State of Israel and its laws with loyalty to another nation and its law, and/or with loyalty to financial institutions and their interests." [2]

The petition in the Supreme Court of Israel was subjected to a fate that was remarkably similar to the fate of the complaint against Bank HaPoalim, BM, at Bank of Israel-Banking Regulation:  The office of the clerk of the Supreme Court refused to duly register the petition. [5]

Combined, conduct of Mr Fischer, Bank of Israel-Banking Regulation, and the Supreme Court of the State of Israel should raise concerns regarding integrity and stability of financial systems in the State of Israel.

Corruption of banking regulation in collusion with the US courts, under the color of law, has been increasingly recognized as central to the current socio-economic crisis in the United States. [6, and see quotes below] 

The provisions of the United States FATCA and response to it by various nations, is likely to map the territory of the financial crisis.  The State of Israel is unparalleled so far in its unconditional submission to the US FATCA.
