Member of European Parliament, and part-time kick ass poker player, Tony G, is on the board of advisors for a new bank specialising in cryptocurrency.

I need a new bank.

I’ve been a member of Barclays Bank since I was 14-years-old. My son lost his debit card, and I wanted them to issue a new one but they wouldn’t. I had to go to the bank to make it so.

I told the customer service representative that if she didn’t send me a new card, I would leave, and break the Davy/Barclays Bank lineage forever. I thought that was a powerful move. I couldn’t see her eyes, but I bet she didn’t blink.
