Editor's Note: Six weeks ago, Pirate Wires published Nic Carter’s explosive Operation Chokepoint 2.0, laying out the case that the Biden Administration was quietly attempting to ban crypto.

But the failures actually began a couple days earlier, after crypto-friendly Silvergate was targeted by the government. By the end of the following weekend the last-remaining crypto-friendly bank, Signature, was shut down under circumstances still unclear, and for some reason largely unreported.
In a bombshell new feature for Pirate Wires, Nic Carter returns: today, the entire global financial system teeters on the brink of a disaster created by the Fed.
