Maybe you don't know that 60 Capital Police were seriously injured, 15 remain in the hospital, and one is confirmed dead from the attack. Maybe you don't know that of the 4 rioters that died, one had a heart attack (unconfirmed),

Being an online bank is largely unprofitable. You still have to operate the backend of a normal bank (which is costly) and you don't have the physical locations to enable the trust you need to get enough customers.

I agree as well, but with all respect this is dangerously close to "she is such a nice girl what she even doing at that club?" Perhaps he knew the risks and chose to speak out anyways, which is an entirely different conversation.
