Lane von Herzen: Threats from the FBI of Opening Bank Accounts in My Name

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Threats from the FBI of Opening Bank Accounts in My Name

OIG Hotline, please be apprised that I will inform you if I open any bank accounts or investment accounts outside of my current Bank of America and Fidelity accounts.

The FBI appears to have threatened to utilize my social security number to wrongfully open accounts in my name with the intent of accusing me of money laundering and/or fraud.

Please ask me directly if you have any questions regarding whether an account was legitimately opened by me.

Likewise, please ask my husband if you have any questions regarding whether an account was legitimately opened by him.

We are highly honorable people, not felons as the FBI would scurrilously claim.

I will appreciate your support in disqualifiy any and all claims by the FBI pertaining to this issue.

The FBI and its affiliates have already allegedly stolen so much from its victims. If this is true, let's ensure that they steal no more.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Disclaimer: Please allow me to once again extend the disclaimer that some threats received by me and extended by the FBI are unsubstantiated by me at this time. I regret that I am unable to assess the credibility of every threat extended by this agency or its affiliates, and also that I am not in a position to judge the likelihood of manifestation. Having said that, many of the FBI's threats toward my family in the past have manifested in real-world harms. As a result, I believe that FBI threats extended to me must be viewed as potentially substantive.
