The Spaces provided a concise status update on anticipated currency exchange activity and logistics. Tony (host) and Ray (Raymond) said multiple U.S. banks have slated appointments for Monday, with Wells Fargo staffing early all weekend. They reported elite and select-client payouts earlier in the week around the high-$5 to low-$6 range, while some banks failed to obtain authorization codes on Wednesday/Thursday, pushing appointments to Monday. Tony expects Tuesday if markets do not reflect changes on Sunday. In Iraq, citizens reportedly have a seven-day window to exchange 1:1 (ending Monday), while contractors’ executives exchanged internationally at $0.76; exchanges were also said to have occurred in Canada around $5. Wells Fargo will provide 800 numbers—paying subscribers notified first, then TNT members, then a public X post. Chase and Citi are described as directly connected to Iraq’s CBI; Wells Fargo is the U.S. “foundation bank” that will handle the masses. Risks include militia disarmament deadlines by Sept. 30 and potential U.S. sanctions or leadership actions; Iraq’s PM is due to meet Trump on Sept. 23. Oil disruptions (including attacks on Saudi infrastructure) and diesel constraints imply no near-term relief on fuel prices. Q&A covered bank processes, interest-rate tiers, branch denials, and appointment etiquette.

Executive Summary

  • Status: No official public launch yet; however, Tony reports continued limited exchanges and preparations across multiple banks, with a concentration of scheduling for Monday. Tony personally expects Tuesday if nothing is visible by Sunday night.
  • Bank activity:
    • Some U.S. banks paid out this week, reportedly at around $5.98 on Thursday, then paused Friday.
    • Chase (and Citi) are said to be connected directly to the CBI and reportedly paid select “elites” for several weeks; they stopped further payouts as of Thursday pending “mass start.”
    • Wells Fargo, called the “foundation bank,” reportedly bringing staff in at 7 a.m. daily (including weekend) but has struggled to obtain authorization codes for exchanges; many Wednesday/Thursday appointments reportedly moved to Monday.
  • International and domestic context:
    • Contractors in Iraq reportedly exchanged at $0.76 (primarily CEOs/executives), while Iraqi citizens are said to be exchanging 1:1 domestically with a reported 7‑day window ending Monday.
    • Tony states some exchanges occurred in Canada last week at around $5.
  • 800 numbers: Tony says Wells Fargo will provide 800 numbers; two-step dissemination (paying subscribers first, then TNT subscribers, then broader public via X). Duration unknown (originally a 10‑day process).
  • Risk window: Potential disruptions if Iraq’s militias do not disarm by Sept 30; Tony cites reported U.S. sanctions threats and possible political consequences, plus a scheduled Sept 23 meeting between Iraq’s PM and the U.S. President.
  • Energy and geopolitical pressures: Brent quoted around $103.97; reports of attacks impacting oil infrastructure, diesel/freight concerns, and protests in the Middle East. Tony expects no near-term fuel price relief.

Detailed Operational Updates

  • Bank scheduling and authorizations:
    • Tony reports bank staff were called in 7 a.m. Friday–Sunday to be “ready.”
    • Multiple banks attempted exchanges Wednesday–Thursday but could not obtain authorization codes; those appointments moved to Monday.
    • Tony reiterates: if Sunday night is quiet, Monday may still be unreliable; Tuesday would be more plausible.
  • Rates mentioned (as reported by Tony; not officially confirmed):
    • Limited bank payouts in the U.S.: ~$5.98 Thursday; paused Friday.
    • “Elites” reportedly exchanged over the past month in the mid‑$5–$6 range (Tony referenced figures such as ~$5.68, ~$5.98, ~$6.05 at different times).
    • Iraq contractors: $0.76 (primarily CEOs/executives).
    • Iraq citizens: domestic 1:1 exchanges, reportedly on TV and billboards.
    • Canada: exchanges reported last week at approximately $5.
  • Institutional connectivity and processes:
    • Tony says Chase and Citi are directly connected to the CBI and “know the rates,” hence Chase’s earlier elite payouts.
    • Wells Fargo labeled “foundation bank”: expected to handle all comers for at least 30 days once live; some other banks prefer serving only their existing clients.
    • Authorization codes: In-branch exchanges require entry of the amount and currency, then a code authorization to complete; this authorization has been a recent bottleneck for Wells and others.
  • Iraq timelines:
    • Tony states Iraqis were told they had seven days to exchange domestically; that window purportedly ends Monday.
    • Contractors reportedly told to be ready: Tuesday (then moved to Thursday), now Monday — “next week should be it.”

800 Numbers, Notifications, and Flow

  • Dissemination order (as described by Tony and Ray):
    1. Paying subscribers (legacy monthly subscribers) receive first.
    2. TNT subscribers next.
    3. Then posted publicly on X.
  • Bank participation via 800 numbers:
    • Tony expects the 800 number from Wells Fargo. Some exchange sites may host multiple banks, but the practical routing may be Wells-led, given its “foundation bank” role and other banks’ preference for existing customers.
    • If you lack a Wells Fargo account, Tony says they will open one at appointment so funds don’t leave the bank immediately.
    • Scheduling lag risk: Choosing a non-primary location or trying to funnel to a preferred local bank could push appointments out one to two weeks; Tony warned this could risk missing “contract rates,” which may be limited.
  • Availability period: Originally a 10-day plan; current duration unknown.

Policy and Geopolitical Risk Factors

  • Militia disarmament deadline (Sept 30):
    • Tony cites news that some militias may refuse to disarm by Sept 30.
    • He reports the U.S. President has threatened sanctions, to halt currency support, and possibly to remove Iraq’s PM if disarmament doesn’t occur; he notes the threat’s credibility is debated.
    • Tony’s concern: If not completed by the 30th, new political actions could delay or complicate matters; he hopes completion occurs beforehand.
    • Iraq PM is scheduled to be in New York Sept 23 to meet U.S. President; Tony wonders if timelines will hinge on that meeting.
  • Iran and regional tensions:
    • Tony references ongoing missile activity attributed to Iran and a strategy of prolonging conflict, seeking U.S. missteps.
    • He claims rising attacks on oil infrastructure (with UK caller corroborating satellite imagery reports), contributing to high oil prices and global supply pressure.
  • Oil, logistics, and domestic impacts:
    • Brent quoted at ~$103.97; Tony cites diesel shortages and halted shipments reports, expecting gasoline/diesel prices to rise.
    • Notes potential trucker slowdowns and broader supply chain risks reminiscent of early COVID disruptions.

Q&A Highlights and Guidance

  • Who gets notifications first? (Ray/Tony)
    • Paying subscribers first, then TNT subscribers, then public X post. Tony emphasized TNT members receive the info before public posting.
  • Are Monday appointments for regular holders or elites? (Did You Dream?)
    • Tony: Monday schedules include everyday holders (“Joe/Jane Public”), often those on bank lists via banker relationships; Wednesday/Thursday attempts failed due to codes and were rescheduled to Monday.
  • 800 number mechanics and bank choice (Bus lady):
    • 800 number expected from Wells; may direct you to WF-led exchange sites. Other banks might be present but may prioritize existing customers.
    • If you don’t bank with WF, they will open an account on-site for deposit retention.
    • Delays from trying to route to specific banks may risk missing limited “contract rates.”
  • Authorization codes & which banks are “ready” (Danny in Dallas):
    • Tony: Code authorization required for each exchange; Chase/Citi connected to CBI and paid elites; Wells awaiting code pathways; recent attempts couldn’t secure codes, hence rescheduling.
  • Which banks will take all currencies? (Rico)
    • Tony: Historically rotated among banks over 20 years; current stance is WF will take all comers for at least 30 days. Chase/Citi may limit to their customers; some banks avoid non-customer influx due to perceived attrition within 30–180 days.
  • Contractors vs citizens, rates (prob 5592):
    • Contractors (execs/CEOs) reportedly exchanged at $0.76 via international channels; Iraqi citizens reportedly exchanging 1:1 domestically.
  • “Higher exchange rates” and “high-yield accounts”: (Eddie)
    • Tony continues to “hear” that banks may offer higher exchange and/or interest rates based on volume and if customers ask. Tony opined that once you establish volume, you can split funds into multiple accounts and seek the same negotiated rate (bank discretion applies).
  • Taking someone to the appointment (Dollsee; Voice for Elder Care):
    • Tony: Generally not allowed to bring someone unless explicitly permitted by bank protocol.
  • Branch awareness and denials (Voice for Elder Care):
    • Tony: Many branches (even flagship) will deny knowledge or participation, both to limit pre-launch pressure and because not all staff are cleared-in. He asserts some NY locations are exchanging, but staff won’t confirm.
  • H Coin and wallets (Eddie):
    • Tony: Treats it as speculative; hasn’t set up his own wallet; suggests minimal exposure and focus on currency outcomes.

Administrative and Community Notes

  • Registration and payments for the new site:
    • Older registrations (last year) are invalid; must re-register within the last 1–2 months.
    • Tony will send one email containing two links:
      • Top: Register and pay (for new/unregistered users).
      • Bottom: Pay-only link (for those registered but unable to pay previously).
    • Zelle issues were reported by members; Tony will resend instructions via email.
  • Submitting questions:
    • Use the forum section “questions for Ray” where available; X direct messages are not monitored due to volume.
  • X “blue check” and queueing:
    • Tony holds a blue check to distinguish the official TNT account from copies; verified speakers may be prioritized in Spaces queues by the platform, not by TNT.

Timing Outlook and Next Steps

  • Monitoring points:
    • If no activity Sunday night, Tony favors Tuesday as more realistic despite Monday scheduling.
    • Sept 23: Meeting between Iraq PM and U.S. President; Tony speculates outcomes could shape timing.
    • Sept 30: Militia disarmament deadline; sanctions/pressure risk if unmet.
  • Communications:
    • Tony will tweet if anything significant breaks over the weekend; otherwise requests no weekend pings.
    • 800 numbers will be disseminated in the order outlined (paying subscribers → TNT subscribers → public X post).

Notable Claims and Caveats

  • Tony’s claims include: elite exchanges for nearly a month at mid‑$5 to $6; Canada exchanges around $5; Iraqi contractors at $0.76; domestic Iraq 1:1; bank code/authorization hurdles; Chase/Citi direct CBI links; Wells as “foundation bank.” These are presented as Tony’s intel and remain unverified publicly.
  • Fuel market commentary included Brent at ~$103.97, reports of ongoing attacks on infrastructure, and expectations of continued price pressures and potential diesel/logistics disruptions.

Open Uncertainties and Dependencies

  • Precise go-live timing for broad U.S. exchanges remains contingent on:
    • Bank authorization code readiness (especially for Wells-led public flow).
    • Political/security developments (militia disarmament, Sept 23 meeting, potential sanctions).
    • Market coordination across banks to initiate a “mass start.”
  • 800 number availability window unknown (originally suggested at 10 days); contract rate availability duration also unspecified.

Tone and Closing

  • Tony emphasized “all good news” aside from the militia deadline risk and geopolitical volatility.
  • Community mood: cautious optimism, readiness to act when 800 numbers and appointments become official; reminders to be patient and prepared.
