@THE_TNT_TEAMAug 14, 2026

The Spaces reviewed urgent admin issues, operational security, and a claimed near‑term timeline for currency exchanges. Host Tony (Anthony Renfro) opened by correcting widespread errors in member payments for a new-site preregistration (Zelle must be sent to “Anthony Renfro” at “[email protected]”), warning that repeated misentries trigger bank fraud flags. He strongly condemned a guru’s posting of a banker’s name/phone, saying it confirms banks’ fears of being flooded and could jeopardize rollout. Tony relayed that Iraqi officials publicly referenced dropping three zeros (using Oct 1 as a public-facing date to avoid stalling the economy), while his sources (bankers, IMF/UN contacts, contractors, Fed) continue to signal activation after Thursday midnight with banks staffed Friday/Saturday and exchanges likely starting Saturday. Q&A covered indicative rates and tactics: typical ZIM ranges (0.11–0.33) with outlier anecdotes; VND potentially above $0.47; Venezuelan bolívar series differences; interest-rate negotiation levers (amount left on deposit, term), and that exchange proceeds may be non-taxable while interest income is taxable. He emphasized professional conduct, the option to walk away and try another bank, liquidity norms (10% immediate, balance 24–48 hours), and future logistics (800 numbers to TNT subscribers first, 10 days of update calls, later seminars in multiple cities, a Vegas event, and a cruise).

Key administrative updates and instructions

  • Pre‑registration payments and Zelle instructions:
    • Name must be exactly “Anthony Renfro”. Do not use “Tony Renfro”, “TNT Tony”, nicknames, phone numbers, or other emails.
    • Email address: [email protected] (spoken as “Tony at TNTTony dot com”).
    • Repeated failed attempts and mis‑entries have caused banks to flag transactions as fraud. Some sent funds to Tony’s private account; he has to transfer them manually.
    • A written step‑by‑step guide is posted “by Baby Mama” in the form; follow it to avoid errors.
    • Some banks temporarily froze Zelle attempts due to perceived fraud; debit card payments via the link worked for many.
    • The earlier “$100 legacy site” (via Stripe/Square about 9–12 months ago) is separate. Tony told everyone back then to request refunds because he never received those funds. The current signup is different.
    • Pre‑registration links are being opened in small batches; when volumes spike, links are turned off and later reactivated. Expect additional waves, including after RV.

Conduct with banks and OPSEC reminders

  • Tony strongly criticized a public post (attributed to “Frank 26/27” in the conversation) that disclosed a banker’s name and phone number tied to a purported exchange opportunity. The banker was then inundated with nationwide calls (NY, CA, TX, FL, AL, GA), had to shut off his phone, and the bank is now concerned about walk‑ins and lines.
  • Bankers saying “bring your friends” means a small, private circle—not mass posts or viral videos. Publicizing bank names, locations, contact details risks shutdowns and cutoffs for others.
  • Historical cautionary tale: A caller (Speaker 7) described two individuals who brought bags of currency to his branch claiming “TNT Tony said to exchange,” which damaged his relationship with that manager and delayed his plans by months.
  • Bottom line: Do not publicize bankers’ details, do not walk in without appointments, and avoid crowding or calling branches. Follow official processes when they open (e.g., 800 numbers, appointment systems).

Claimed timeline and market readiness

  • Iraq and rate timing (as relayed by Tony):
    • Iraqi PM (Tony pronounces “Alzande/Al‑Sudani”) purportedly announced dropping three zeros with examples (50,000 → 50; 25,000 → 25) and indicated a public/commercial target around October 1. Tony stressed leaders would not publicly announce a near‑term date (e.g., “the 15th”) to avoid freezing spending and stalling the economy.
    • Tony’s sources say contractors’ agreements show a new rate starting on “the 15th.”
  • Go‑live window and bank staffing:
    • Multiple sources (bankers, UN, IMF, CIA, Fed, Iraq contractor—per Tony) aligned on “after midnight Thursday” as the activation window. Practically, that could mean any time Friday.
    • Banks have told staff to report 7:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday to handle influx; Tony expects the public to begin appointments/exchanges Saturday.
    • He plans to text TNT subscribers first, then record and distribute calls broadly.
  • Ongoing private activity (as conveyed by Tony):
    • People are being paid daily in “hundreds of millions” and some “billions.” The Fed allegedly acknowledged three weeks of payments (Tony’s claim).
    • Private exchanges for “$100M and above” customers continue.
  • Multi‑currency remarks (Tony’s claims):
    • “All the currencies are going.” He even relayed a rumor that Japanese yen could go to 1:1 on Saturday (presented as last‑minute intel, not verified).

Negotiation and appointment conduct at the bank

  • Professionalism: Be calm, respectful, and businesslike; do not argue, raise your voice, demand, or threaten. Banks can “blacklist” difficult customers.
  • Negotiation stance: “As long as you’re talking, you can be negotiating.” Ask informed questions Tony has discussed (rates, structures, interest, terms) and make counteroffers.
  • Walk‑away option: If parameters are unfavorable, politely decline, have your currency returned, and consider another bank or banker.
  • Signing tip (general): Tony reminded one caller to remember “and/or assigns” when signing—ask your banker/attorney about appropriate titling. Tony is not giving legal advice.
  • Appointment systems: Expect 800 numbers and centralized scheduling. Do not walk in without appointments. Tony is one of multiple distributors expected to receive numbers; he’s been told repeatedly he’s “on the list,” not the only one.

Currency‑specific discussions and rates mentioned

  • Iraqi dinar (IQD): No public rate quoted on the call. “Blessed Veteran (Tom)” was cited as an example of negotiating strong post‑exchange interest returns with just 1 million dinar.
  • Vietnamese dong (VND): Tony expects higher than $0.47 and will ask for the highest available. He joked that Blessed Veteran “got $11 for years,” likely referring to an exceptional negotiated outcome (context unclear); treat as anecdotal.
  • Zimbabwe dollar (ZIM): Tony reaffirmed typical talk in the “$0.11–$0.33” range. He also cited outlier reports (one person allegedly offered $0.52; another up to $0.70) tied to large holdings and specific negotiations—“not the average person.”
  • Venezuelan bolívar (VES):
    • Callers recalled hearing about $0.39; Tony acknowledged hearing higher (around $0.52) offered to some. Offers may vary by bank/negotiation.
    • Basis: Tony said rates were being keyed to the Soberano (Soberano/Soberana) and cautioned not to ask him to do the math across redenominations—defer to specifics at the bank.
    • Series PSA (from gmanmpa): Bolívar has three series—Fuerte (printed 2008), Soberano (2018), Digital (~2021). Check dates/series on your notes with glasses; forum has a tutorial on Venezuelan currency. Tony later reiterated a tutorial is posted in the forum.
  • Japanese yen (JPY): Tony relayed a rumor of 1:1 on Saturday; he presented it as fresh intel, not a guarantee.

Interest, liquidity, and structures discussed

  • Two negotiable interest components (per Tony’s examples):
    • Monthly interest on an investment‑style placement (Tony cited a case of roughly 22% per month). Tony emphasized monthly means monthly—not an annual rate broken into months.
    • Annual yield on “money’s money” (Tony cited ~31% per year in the example).
    • In the same anecdote, Tony referenced the caller leaving significant sums on deposit; at another point he said the person “only had 1 million dinar.” Exact totals referenced were inconsistent in the live discussion; the key point was that even modest holders can negotiate substantial rates, especially if leaving material balances and/or for longer terms.
  • Relationship to amounts and term:
    • Expect more negotiating power if you leave more funds, and for longer.
    • One anecdote: a caller reported someone achieved attractive monthly and yearly figures while leaving a large balance for the bank to hold (numbers varied in the live recall). Tony could not cap “how high it goes,” but reiterated outcomes depend on size, tenure, and the banker.
  • Availability of funds:
    • Standard deposit rules suggest up to 10% immediate access with the rest available in 24–48 hours; private deals have told some 48 hours. Weekends may affect processing. Always ask for exact availability at your appointment.
  • Trusts and account titling:
    • If you need to form trusts or restructure after exchange, ask the banker whether moving funds into a trust preserves negotiated rates. Tony cannot give legal advice.
  • Compounding:
    • Tony suggested that with monthly crediting and an annual rate on “money’s money,” overall growth may effectively be compounding. Exact mechanics depend on the bank and product—confirm at the appointment.

Taxes and compliance

  • Tony’s non‑advice perspective: the currency exchange event itself is expected to be non‑taxable under existing treaty frameworks (his understanding). Subsequent returns (e.g., monthly/annual interest) are taxable income. Consult qualified tax counsel.
  • Compliance note from a caller: “The man will be watching you” after you exchange—expect oversight. Keep purchases and financial movements compliant and documented.

Cash management and wealth planning themes

  • Liquidity vs deployment:
    • Tony’s view: do not leave large idle balances in checking once you have a plan—your “real money should be working 24 hours a day.” Keep spendable liquidity, but deploy principal into yielding structures once you understand them.
    • Many will receive anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions; those who “don’t know what to do” should pause and consult wealth managers before acting, to avoid losses or impulsive spending.
  • Legacy mindset:
    • Tony plans to commit for 10 years to maximize generational impact, acknowledging lifespan uncertainty. Emphasis on leaving a legacy for children/grandchildren and philanthropy.
    • A caller (Not a Karen) intends to keep more liquid and place some funds overseas; Tony reiterated: negotiate your own mix, know your goals, and let your money make money.

800 numbers and dissemination plan

  • Tony expects to be one of several to receive “800 numbers.” He has asked to be on more calls/meetings but is told “it’s not your turn.”
  • Rollout plan:
    • Text TNT subscribers first (short list); hold live calls explaining process and rates; record and release for broader audiences.
    • Run daily calls for ~10 days so exchangers can report offers and terms in real time—“each one teach one,” enabling those still waiting to benefit from prior experiences.

Community notes and miscellany

  • Twitter Spaces queue tip: Mr. Woody observed that blue‑check accounts get placed at the top of the speaking queue; non‑verified users may show as “requested” without prioritization.
  • Events: Post‑RV, Tony plans 10 educational sessions in 10 cities, a large Vegas gathering (~8,000 at a convention center), and a cruise. These will require planning; they won’t be immediate.
  • Sports banter: Raiders optimism; “Roll Tide” quips.
  • Personal updates: Several callers shared life updates (surgery recovery, family losses) and appreciation for the community.

Closing takeaways

  • Process discipline is critical:
    • Follow precise payment instructions for pre‑registration (name and email exact match).
    • Do not publicize bankers’ info or flood branches with walk‑ins. Use official appointment systems (e.g., 800 numbers) when live.
    • Be professional at the appointment; ask informed questions; negotiate calmly; walk away politely if needed.
  • Timeline (as claimed by Tony):
    • Activation after midnight Thursday; banks staffed Friday/Saturday 7:00 a.m.; public appointments likely Saturday. PM Al‑Sudani publicly guided around Oct 1 for redenomination, while Tony’s sources say contractors’ new rate starts on the 15th.
    • Ongoing private exchanges continue for $100M+ clients; reports of substantial payments; all “on the same page.”
  • Rates and returns will vary:
    • Currency buy/sell rates, monthly/annual yields, and any premiums are all negotiable and bank/product‑specific. Larger balances and longer terms can command better terms—but even modest holders have reported attractive structures.
  • Taxes and structures:
    • Expect the exchange to be non‑taxable (per Tony’s understanding), but interest taxable. Discuss trusts, titling, and compounding with your banker and legal/tax advisors.
  • Community ethos:
    • Tony plans to share early experiences to help others optimize outcomes. Avoid actions that jeopardize access for the broader community.

Stay alert for official instructions. Tony will text subscribers first and tweet if new information arrives. Until then, prepare your questions, documents, and strategy—and approach the process professionally.
