“Chase bank has shut down our business bank accounts along with the accounts of my CEO and CFO, as well as their family members (including spouse and child). They’ve refused to provide any reason for doing so, the oldest account has been active for 18 years,” Dr. Joseph Mercola wrote.

One of the company’s employees thinks the bank account terminations are politically motivated due to Dr. Mercola’s stance against the experimental COVID-19 shots.

According to the outlet, another employee said her bank account’s sudden closure is making it difficult “to help send money to her husband who is bedridden with dementia in the Philippines.”

Florida’s Voice has more:

Mercola Market sells specialty beverages, food, supplements and other health items. A store is located in Cape Coral.

On July 13, Mercola Market, along with the CEO, CFO and some of their family members, all received similar letters from Chase Bank saying “[they] have decided to close” their individual personal and business accounts.

The letters obtained by Florida’s Voice did not provide a reason why the accounts were suddenly closed. Florida’s Voice reached out to Chase Bank for a response.

A voicemail from a Chase representative to CEO Steven Rye said the reason for closing his personal and wife’s accounts can’t be disclosed “for legal reasons.”

However, Rye believes his the accounts were suddenly shut down because of Dr. Joseph Mercola’s opinions on COVID-19.

“I believe they cancelled all of the accounts because of Dr. Mercola’s (our employer) opinions,” Rye told Florida’s Voice. “He has carried a contradictory view throughout the COVID narrative and co-authored the best selling book The Truth About COVID-19 which exposed the likelihood that this virus was engineered in a laboratory funded by the NIH.”

“Here at Mercola Market, our goal is to help our customers live the healthiest and most vibrant life they can by offering high-quality and trustworthy sustainable products designed to support their wellness goals,” Mercola Market writes on its website.

“Will DeSantis fight Wall Street for his residents or focus on campaign and please donors?” DC Draino asked.

The outlet noted that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation in May preventing financial institutions from “denying or canceling services based on political or religious beliefs.”

From Gov. DeSantis’s office in May:

Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed comprehensive legislation to protect Floridians from the corporatist environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) movement — a worldwide effort to inject woke political ideology across the financial sector, placing politics above the fiduciary duty to make the best financial decisions for beneficiaries. Today’s announcement follows through on the Governor’s proposal announced earlier this year.

“In Florida and across the nation, we’ve heard from law-abiding small business owners and consumers who’ve been denied access to financial services because of where they work or what they believe in,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Through this legislation, Florida will continue to lead the nation against big banks and corporate activists who’ve colluded to inject woke ideology into the global marketplace, regardless of the financial interests of beneficiaries.”

CEO Steven Rye said he was told his children won’t be able to carry accounts with JP Morgan Chase Bank in the future.

Mercola Market CFO Amalia Legaspi said both her personal and her son’s personal accounts were canceled.

“Legaspi’s joint checking account with her husband, who has dementia and is bedridden in the Philippines, was also closed,” Florida’s Voice noted.

Florida’s Voice also shared information about Mercola’s past articles and conflicts with the FDA:

Dr. Mercola said he published articles about the benefits of vitamin D, zinc and quercetin to boost the immune system. He also published testimony from a nurse who claimed patients were being “intentionally killed on ventilators.”

The FDA also sent a letter to Dr. Mercola telling him to take “immediate action” to address “violations” in the letter regarding supplement products the doctor said would aid in COVID-19, calling them “unapproved new drugs” that are “misbranded.”
