Capital One bank has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from the Trump Organization over the closure of hundreds of bank accounts back in 2021, arguing in new papers that the shutdowns were the product of a monthslong anti-money-laundering review — not retaliation for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, as the Trump family businesses have claimed.

The case centers on roughly 385 accounts tied to the Trump Organization, Eric Trump and a collection of affiliated businesses — including a winery, a bottled-water company and a golf course developer — that banked with Capital One for more than a decade before the accounts were shut down in mid-2021.

385 accounts is crazy - dude is literally trying to run his "businesses" like Kingpin from Season 1 of Daredevil.

If I just make my accounts messy and confusing enough, they wont know all of the laws I break!

    They're a credit card company, being evil is their tagline. BUT, they're the only ones saying out loud that trump is a money launderer. I'll give them kudos for that.
