  That's not what that says. The quote from coutts is even in the HN comment - > We acknowledge that the information we reported - that Coutts' decision on Mr Farage's account did not involve considerations about his political views - turned out not to be accurate and have apologised to Mr Farage That does not say that he did meet the net worth requirements.
