UN Sex In a Van in Tel Aviv Exposed By Inner City Press in 2020 Now Confirmed in Leak
by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack
UN GATE, Oct 2 – In 2020 Inner City Press exclusively published a video of United Nations staff in a UN vehicle appearing to have sex with a woman in a red dress. At first the UN, which banned Inner City Press, denied the claims, then claimed to be investigating.
Now in 2025 Inner City Press, still banned from the UN by SG Antonio Guterres despite its June 19, 2025 application to enter and cover this UN General Assembly Session, exclusively publishes the UN's "confidential" letter to its UNTSO staff member Cunillera, here.
It recounts three and a half hours in a hotel, a lack of credibility, giration.
So Antonio Guterres' denial was a lie and a cover up. And the ban of Inner City Press should end. But will it? Watch this site

As Sean Combs Asked Stay of Anna Kane Case She Gets Some Bad Boy and Pierre Discovery
by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 2 – In May 2024 Crystal McKinney sued Sean Combs for sexual assault under the NYC Gender Motivated Violence in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Teacher Ward Detained for CSAM Images Taught 4 Year Olds at Leman School in 2025
by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY Exclusive, Oct 2– A 37 year-old-man identified as a first grade teacher at a school in Queens has been detained on charges of transmitting sexual images of prepubescent children. Christopher Ward, living at his parents' home in Farmingdale NY, was brought before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Sarah Cave on September 24. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag Court. Thread. Now Inner City Press has learned that Ward was in charge of a group of 3 and 4 year olds in July and August 2025 at the Leman School on Broad Street in lower Manhattan, as belatedly disclosed in an email leaked to Inner City Press: "Dear 2025 Camp Léman Families, We know the news shared last night has been upsetting. Christopher Ward was employed as a counselor from July 7 to August 1, 2025, in the Ducks 4 group. He had not worked at our camp in prior years and was not part of our aftercare staff. Before being hired, he completed and passed background and reference checks. Our information at this time is based on the complaint that was filed by the government against Mr. Ward. The government’s complaint was filed on Thursday, September 25. We retained counsel immediately to investigate this matter." On October 2 Ward again sought release on bond, and Inner City Press was there. The AUSA had put in a correction - presumption of detention DOES apply - and a description of videos, including of a one-year-old, and Ward's online chats, redacted. Judge Cave, after a break, ordered that detention continue, based on danger to the community, use of aliases and no longer having stable employment. Inner City Press will stay on the case.

In Sudan Case BNP Paribas Was Sued in 2016 At Trial Argues It Was Violent Before Them
By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 1 – BNP Paribas was sued, and raised as part of its defense the laws of Switzerland and of Sudan.
On November 5, 2020 U.S. then-District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alison J. Nathan held an oral argument. Inner City Press covered it.
The case involves BNP violating Sudan sanctions, and the mass killing of civilians in Darfur and elsewhere by the then Omar al Bashir government, for which BNP claims to bear no responsibility.
Jump cut to September 16, 2025, when Inner City Press covers the trial as a former compliance officer was asked about blocked transactions resubmitted without the word Sudan and passing; and a CNN journalist testified about El Fasher, where Inner City Press reported on UN corruption until it was (and still is) banned.
On September 17 Dr. Harry Verhoeven described BNP as Bashir's partner; a virtual witness was asked about Alain Peon saying BNP paid Bashir's government a $60 million a month "stipend."
On September 18, Next plaintiffs' witness is a refugee from Sudan Plaintiffs' lawyer: Are you now a US citizen? Witness: Yes Plaintiff's lawyer: Did you grow up in Wow or somewhere else? A: Kordofan
Plaintiffs' lawyer: When they came for you, were they armed? Witness: Yes, with AK-47. As a Sudanese judge, I was supposed to have immunity. Plaintiffs' lawyer: Where did they take you? Witness: To Wow. To the headquarters. They started beating me (sobs)
On September 22, an expert formerly at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York testified over multiple objections that BNP did $10 billion of unauthorized transactions with Sudan.
On October 1, BNP's lawyers argued their Rule 5 motions, emphasizing violence and harm in Sudan as unrelated to oil revenue and their sanctions voilations; Inner City Press live tweeted here.
Inner City Press will continue to cover the trial- and the country.

As Pinnacle Bank Synovus Merger Protested Now Fed Extends Time on Expedited FOIA
by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack
NASHVILLE, Oct 1 – Synovus Bank, with a track record of disparate lending and consumer complaints, now proposes to cash out and merge with Nashville-based Pinnacle.
But Pinnacle has its own disparities, and is under-regulated by the Tennessee Commissioner of Financial Institutions, who refuses to provide any documents to anyone but Tennessee "citizens" (not even those *in* Tennessee).
So Fair Finance Watch filed Community Reinvestment Act challenges with the Federal Reserve and the Georgia regulator (both have confirmed receipt and the Fed has sent to Pinnacle) as well as the recalcitrant Tennessee regulator, who refuses to give records or even confirm receipt of the challenge. Pinnacle for now seems to think it has Tennessee in the palm of its hand, lock stock and barrel, regulator and media. But then there's Inner City Press, and other states...
The Federal Reserve, while correctly granting expedited processing to Inner City Press' FOIA request about Pinnacle and Synovus, on October 1 wrote to say they need yet more time: "Pursuant to section (a)(6)(B)(i) of the FOIA, we are extending the period for our response until October 16, 2025, in order to consult with two or more components of the Board having a substantial interest in the determination of the request." Will processing of the application be stayed?
On September 15 the FRB of Atlanta sent Fair Finance Watch a list of question sent to Pinnacle and Synovus including "an analysis of CRA and fair lending impacts and the potential effect on the community and customers served by the branch, particularly distressed or underserved nonmetropolitan middle- income census tracts, majority-minority census tracts, LMI census tracts, and rural areas;" and "The Application identifies that The Vanguard Group, Inc., BlackRock, Inc., and FMR, LLC, would each hold more than 5 percent of the combined organization’s common stock. Explain in further detail why, as the Application represents, “[n]one of these parties would trigger any presumption of control” - full letter on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here
Dear Chair Powell and others in the FRS:
... Fair Finance Watch has long been concerned about Synovus, as the Federal Reserve memorialized, noting "disparities in denial rates and home mortgage originations to African Americans and/or Hispanics, as compared to whites, in certain markets. The commenter also noted a complaint filed with the CFPB against Synovus Bank relating to collecting on a debt allegedly not owed."
Fair Finance Watch has reviewed the just-released 2024 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data of Synovus and finds that while it made 3.18 loans to whites for each denial to whites, it made only 1.7 loans to African Americans for each denial to African Americans.
Pinnacle is of even greater concern. In Virginia, where Pinnacle received a Low Satisfactory on the Lending Test in its most recently (May 2023) CRA performance evaluation, in 2024 it made 133 mortgage loans to whites, with 19 denials, but only 13 loans to African Americans, with fully eight denials.
In Alabama, where Pinnacle also received a Low Satisfactory on the Lending Test, in 2024 Pinnacle made 106 mortgage loans to whites, with 16 denials, but only 56 loans to African Americans, with fully nine denials.
In North Carolina, where Pinnacle also received a Low Satisfactory on the Lending Test, in 2024 Pinnacle made 653 mortgage loans to whites, with 178 denials, but only 202 loans to African Americans, with fully 82 denials.
Even in Tennessee, which conceals its records, Pinnacle was rated Low Satisfactory on the Lending Test in Knoxville and Chattanooga. Not in the exam:
In Florida in 2024 Pinnacle made 38 mortgage loans to whites, with 11 denials, but only five loans to African Americans, with fully NINE denials.
In Kentucky in 2024 Pinnacle made eleven mortgage loans to whites, with seven denials, but NO loans to African Americans. This application should not be approved; particularly in light of the disparities, public evidentiary hearings are needed.

OCC Slows FOIA Not Only for PNC FirstBank But Also Erebor Execs Seeking Bank Charter
by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack
FEDERAL COURTHOUSE, Sept 30 – As PNC Bank has grown it has become more disparate in its lending. After its CEO Bill Demchak announced a $4.1 billion proposal to buy FirstBank and bragged, "We just effectively bought Colorado," Fair Finance Watch prepared an early filing to the regulators demanding scrutiny and hearings.
This takes place as the regulators, led by the FDIC, are seeking to eliminate public notice and limit public comment. See, e.g., American Banker, Sept 10, 2025, "The FDIC is taking the 'community' out of CRA enforcement," by Matthew R. Lee, here
On September 13 Fair Finance Watch filed challenges with the Federal Reserve and OCC, and Inner City Press filed Freedom of Information Act requests, see below.
On September 17 the Federal Reserve posted notice that PNC had applied. On September 18 the FRB of Cleveland provided some of the application - but all material litigation against PNC withheld. Inner City Press immediately challenged it under FOIA.
The OCC has not provided notice - but did stop Inner City Press' FOIA request seeking to limit the request to communications with PNC's counsel. Inner City Press immediately responded that the request is not so limited.
On September 30, after the FRB granted expedited processing under FOIA, the OCC denied an identical request for expedited processing, trying to ensure no records during the public comment period.
Compare OCC denial of expedited processing here to FRB grant of identical request here
Inner City Press appealed on September 30.
The next day October 1 the OCC reflexively denied expedition on a FOIA request for one of the many new (fangled) bank charters it is eager to give out, writing to Inner City Press that
"You requested the exhibits (mis) labeled 'Confidential' in the application for the proposed Erebor Bank. The applicants have withheld almost all exhibits and information about their proposal, including even the names of the directors, organizers, executives and principal shareholders. This is a FOIA request, then, for all of the exhibits. This is also a request for all record reflecting communication by or within the OCC with or about Erebor and its unidentified proposed directors, organizers, executives and principal shareholders.
We have reviewed you request for expedited processing under the criteria set out in 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(E) and Treasury disclosure regulations at 31 C.F.R. 1.5(e). Although your request for expedited processing is denied, we have initiated a search in our program offices. The OCC must respond to FOIA requests in the order that they are received, however, we will try to respond as expeditiously as possible. Based on the information you have provided, I have determined that your request for expedited processing should be denied." UNreal.
New issues have arisen that FFW will raise in its second comment.
From the filings:
This is an early first comment on, the proposal and applications by PNC to acquire FirstBank. PNC's CEO Bill Demchak on September 9 said publicly, "We just effectively bought Colorado." Not so fast.
Fair Finance Watch has long been concerned about PNC. Fair Finance Watch has reviewed the just-released 2024 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data of PNC, not reviewed in any Community Reinvestment Act performance evaluation.
In state after state, PNC for African Americans has (many) more denials than originations, while the opposite is true for white borrows. The pattern is striking:
In Pennsylvania, PNC's headquarters state, PNC in 2024 denied 463 applications from African Americans while making fewer, only 343 loans - while it made fully 7666 loans to whites and denied only 2720 applications. This is disparate.

In Alabama, where PNC lists 90 branches, PNC in 2024 denied 357 applications from African Americans while making fewer, only 235 loans - while it made fully 1084 loans to whites and denied only 661 applications. This is disparate.

In Kentucky, where PNC lists 66 branches, PNC in 2024 denied 98 applications from African Americans while making only 129 loans - while it made fully 1733 loans to whites and denied only 596 applications. This is disparate.
In South Carolina, where PNC lists eight branches, PNC in 2024 denied 27 applications from African Americans while making fewer, only 25 loans - while it made fully 511 loans to whites and denied only 212 applications. This is disparate.

UNRWA Has Impunity for Aiding Hamas Oct 7 Attack SDNY Judge Rules So What of CPIUN?
by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack
SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 1 - For the UN's role in Hamas' October 7 attacks, non-US citizen plaintiffs and estates on June 24 filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, Pierre Krahenbuhl, Filippo Grandi, Leni Stenseth, Sandra Mitchel, Margot Ellis and Greta Gunnarsdottir.
The individual plaintiffs are sued for, inter alia, their "constant travel to New York" to raise and get money and "their material support of Hamas' terror infrastructure." Also cited, for jurisdiction and venue, is "over one billion dollars from UNRWA's New York bank account in Manhattan that Defendants then caused to be delivered to Gaza in cash U.S. dollars to benefit Hamas."
Inner City Press, which daily cover the SDNY court in-person and the UN from outside the gate, banned from entry by SG Antonio Guterres, asked Guterres' spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming about the lawsuit, without any response per usual.
Nor have they responded to Inner City Press' June 19, 2025 application to enter the UN to ask these questions.
On February 18, the (new) SDNY wrote in, "The Government is currently reviewing the views." Letter on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here
On April 24 the Administration wrote in that it "has since reevaluated that position" - 10 page filing on DocumentCloud here.
On June 27 the UN's lawyer while citing the immunity of Ruud Lubbers for sexual harassment also argued "While Halk Bankasi is irrelevant, Plaintiffs’ case is not predicated on any commercial activity by Defendants." This while Guterres and others are pitching hard for funds... 17 page UN filing on DocumentCloud here.
On October 1 in a 20+ page ruling Judge Torres ruled "Because UNRWA is a subsidiary organ of the United Nations and has not waived its immunity, it is entitled to immunity under the CPIUN. The Individual Defendants, including Defendants Lazzarini and Grandi, are likewise protected by diplomatic immunity for actions taken in their official capacities under the CPIUN and VCDR. Accordingly, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ claims. Defendants’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the complaint DISMISSED with prejudice." Yes, prejudice. Full Order on Patreon here
On July 9 a second case, noted as related, was filed by US citizens under the Anti-Terrorism Act, naming UNRWA, Lazzarini, Krahenbuhl, Grandi, Leni Steseth, Sandra Mitchell, Morgot Ellis and Greta Gunnarsdottir.
It is Atzili v. UNRWA, 1:25-cv-5677 (Unassigned) Inner City Press has put the 215 page complaint on its DocumentCloud here
The first UNRWA case is ESTATE OF TAMAR KEDEM SIMAN TOV, BY HEIR-AT-LAW GAD KEDEM v. UNITED NATIONS RELIEF AND WORKS AGENCY (UNRWA) et al., 24-cv-04765 (Torres)
