In this episode, we sit down with Nick Anthony, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives and a fellow at the Human Rights Foundation.
Nick has spent his career studying the intersection of money, privacy, and government power — and in this conversation, he breaks down one of the least understood financial risks facing ordinary people today: debanking. From how the process actually works behind the scenes, to the government tools that make it possible, to what individuals can do to protect themselves, Nick offers a clear-eyed look at a system most people don’t realize they’re exposed to until it’s too late.
