| Officials from the United States, Canada and Britain quietly met with senior banking executives to discuss a single piece of AI software capable of finding thousands of critical flaws in outdated bank systems.
Treasury confirmed the meetings took place, with more planned. JPMorgan was invited to help prepare defenses, while Bank of America, Citibank and the American Bankers Association declined to comment.
No one is saying exactly what was discussed behind closed doors.  |
|
|
| | An AI model recently breached a company's systems, and the co-founder warned that defenders now need frontier-grade tools within hours, sometimes minutes.
That speed gap raises real questions about whether banks can react fast enough before damage is done.  |

A little-known meeting in 1910 cost the average American family their entire financial freedom. They met in secret, used fake names, and told absolutely no one where they were going. On November 22nd, 1910, seven of America's most powerful bankers gathered on Jekyll Island to design the Federal Reserve.
Their goal? To create a system where they control the money supply and you foot the bill.
That system has created $38 trillion in debt, destroyed 98% of the dollar's purchasing power, and now they're preparing the final move: Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). But if you have at least $100,000 saved and you're concerned about what's coming, you need to hear this.  |
