Citibank finally releases Boston bank video showing Morgan Lewis partner Sam Shaulson to be a lying rat.

By Christopher King

Citibank starts the CD from end to beginning so you see me point at Carlo Caramanna as JRT, Derrick and I leave the branch. It's kind of Memento-like. Anyway, the whole time I'm there I talk with JRT and Derrick a bit and stand at the counter, natty attire of light khakis, tie, and fleece, my usual. I'm totally chill, one elbow on the counter, one leg over the other, a totally non-aggressive posture. I'm not wearing my hat which is surprising that's an odd day but I bought it in March so maybe it was right after this. Anyway as I predicted, you can see Carlo Caramanna approach me and you can see him clearly in a Decision-making capacity refuse to read the wrongful dishonor information from the teller-cam. And you can see him pick up a black phone in the teller area and make a phone call. It was at that point that he told us he was calling the Police to have us arrested. "Do you want me to have you arrested!" is what he said. It was that comment that LATER led me to call him a "Motherfucker" as we left, after he refused to open a bank account for me after Citibank opened one for my Caucasian girlfriend.

They did not show the part of the videos where JRT and I are sitting together in the lobby, just chilling out, waiting for Derrick.

Significantly, at no point in time do Carlo Caramanna and his co-worker appear concerned about any threat of physical violence whatsoever. JRT walks out, I'm right behind her, and I tell Carlo what he is without breaking stride, and Mr. Gillenwater breaks stride for about 10-15 seconds to tell him to watch his back because we were going to sue them, and he too, walks out without incident. Mr. Gillenwater and I spoke about this the other day and he's definitely coming forward. At any rate, Carlo Caramanna and his co-worker casually lock the door and saunter back inside, at which point they made the bogus call to 911 to cover their tracks and try to make us out to be threatening.

That my friends, is why they don't want the video circulating.

The Affidavit as to specific facts I will post after I make some dinner (ginger sea scallops, baby bok choy, auricularia, pan-fried spicy noodles and, ummmmm..... eggplant -- how appropriate!).
