Stanley Fischer, Governor of Bank of Israel, showing off his newly acquired Israeli ID in 2005. Petition in the Israeli High Court of Justice alleged that Stanley Fischer exchanged his loyalty to the State of Israel and its law with loyalty to another nation and its laws and/or loyalty to financial institutions and their interests.
Three Consumer's Complaints were filed with
Bank of Israel, alleging criminality by the Israeli Bank HaPoalim, BM, in
Jerusalem under the color of US law – FATCA.
Receipt of none of the Complaints was ever confirmed in writing, and
none was ever addressed. Instead, the
Bank of Israel replied on a letter to Governor Stanley
Fischer, dated October 14, 2012, which protested the failure to process the
formal Consumer Complaints.
The January 27, 2013 response by Bank of
Israel, on behalf of Governor Stanley Fischer, provides false and misleading
statements, pertaining to the US law – FATCA – but fails to refer in any way to
the law of the State of Israel.
Petition to compel Stanley Fischer to
enforce the law of the State of Israel was filed with the Supreme Court of the
State of Israel. The Petition alleges that Stanley Fischer exchanged his
loyalty to the State of Israel and its laws with loyalty to another nation and
its laws, and/or loyalty to financial institutions and their interest. The Supreme Court refused to duly register the
Petition.
On January 1, 2013, after months of
extortionist demands and threats, the account owner's funds, totaling $250,000
in cash deposits (no securities at all), were frozen. Bank HaPoalim refused to
produce any written document to that effect, only verbal and phone
communications.
Around January 31, 2013, the account holder
was informed that his accounts were unfrozen, after a meeting with the German
Consul to Israel, to file a request for protection by the German Foreign
Ministry against abuse of the Human Rights of the account owner, Dr Zernik, a
Human Rights activist/Computer Science writer in Jerusalem.
The letter from Bank of Israel suggests
that the release of the funds was NOT due to any action by Bank of Israel-
Banking Regulation.
Conduct of Stanley Fischer and Bank of
Israel must raise concern regarding integrity of Stanley Fischer's conduct as
Governor of Bank of Israel, and regarding integrity and stability of the
Israeli financial system in general.
