With millions of victims of Citibank earning it a bad reputation in the USA and abroad, Citibank chose this week to change its name in Germany to Targo Bank. Could it be because of my populist rants against CITICORP?

IN GERMANY, CITIBANK CHANGES NAME--COULD IT BE BECAUSE OF ME?

By Kevin Anthony Stoda, Wiesbaden, Germany

I really doubt that it is my presence in Germany that has forced the image or rebranding of Citibank here, however, Citibank is certainly undertaking that rebranding full-speed ahead here this year. Citibank Germany is now called TARGO or Targobank (Targo Bank).

This website [below] of Citibank Germany has now been changed to Targo Bank.

www.citibank.de

Targo Bank has actually been a bank brand in Germany of Citibank for sometime, i.e. after Citibank first bought out Targo in 2007. [Quickly, Citibank's logo on the Werder Bremen Soccer team was changed at that time to Targo.]

Since the beginning of 2007, I have written nearly ten articles on the need for the USA federal government to take over Citibank and turn it into something else--like a halfway humane banking and financial entity which doesn't rob thousands (or millions) of peoples of their good credit rating (and good business reputations) each year. One of the more recent articles I published was "TIME TO TAKE OVER CITIBANK AMERICAN TAXPAYERS: DEMAND THAT OBAMA FORCE IT TO GIVE LOANS TO HELP HOME OWNERS AND WORKERS TAKE OVER BADLY RUN COMPANIES LIKE GENERAL MOTORS".

I have been a victim of Citibank's illegal financial assistance practices and had filed claims against the company with 5 Attorney Generals in 4 states during the past decade. One of the more popular articles of mine on Citibank was: "CITIBANK CORRUPTION EXPLAINED!!!"

German economic newspapers note that Citibank (now officially Targo) is continuing to make profits hand over fist in Germany. What is not often noted in the press is that several of the private but U.S.-federal- and USA-military-contracting firms in Germany often require their employees to use Citibank cards. How did Citibank earn or come to command such a cozy relationship with USA contractors around the world?

I'd like to see some investigation of Citibank's practices in U.S. federal and military contracting in Germany and around the globe.
