7. I seriously doubt that banks are suffering from 'wokeness',

cancelling accounts because they disagree with a customer's political persuasions.
Banks, however, do prefer to avoid investigations and harm to their reputations. If some banks are indeed closing accounts of prominent Republican operatives (Jeanine Pirro wouldn't concern herself with the closure of accounts of Democrats), it would only be because the banks suspected that the funds are tainted with illegality.
