Team Mohamed’s (TM) recent call to boycott GBTI, Beharry Group, DBL, and DDL—because these institutions chose to comply with AML/CFT regulations—is not only irresponsible, it’s deeply revealing.
This is not a fight for justice. It’s a calculated attempt to punish institutions for doing what the law requires: de-risking in the face of OFAC sanctions. TM’s actions reflect a subtle form of inverse racism and a self-serving agenda that disregards the livelihoods of over 3,000 employees. To this end, it has not gone unnoticed that he conveniently omit to mention Citizens Bank (and Banks DIH Group), another financial institution that has also closed the accounts for members who appeared on his political party’s list of candidates.
In fact, Team Mohamed has shown he’s willing to jeopardize the livelihoods and careers of over 3,000 Guyanese employees—all to protect a handful he has misled with a dangerously false narrative.
He downplays the consequential severity of OFAC sanctions—yet anyone associating with him may unknowingly expose themselves to significant legal and financial repercussions. This isn’t just misinformation; it’s recklessness with real-world costs.
Let’s be clear: compliance is not betrayal. It is the foundation of a stable, transparent financial system. These institutions acted with integrity. TM’s response is not about protecting people—it’s about shielding a few from accountability.
To those who’ve been misled: 𝗜 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲. Understand the risks you may have unknowingly taken on — not just for yourself, but for your families.
