In a striking development from Antigua and Barbuda, a court filing dated February 8, 2026, has notified 73 executives from leading financial institutions that bench warrants are imminent due to their failure to respond to legal claims against them. Among those named are notable figures such as Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, Jane Fraser of Citigroup, and Brian Moynihan of Bank of America.
The case, identified as ANUHCV2025/0149, centers around allegations of civil conspiracy and systematic human rights violations tied to Antigua’s sovereign carbon-credit economy, with claimed losses exceeding $80 billion. The court has already issued a bench warrant for attorney Gary Dordick due to similar non-engagement, setting a concerning precedent for the named executives.
The formal communication emphasizes that personal exposure is now on the line for these executives, which extends beyond corporate responsibility to private accountability, particularly given the severe allegations involved.
The ruling highlights that the continued silence and lack of engagement with the court will be recorded as evidence of possible intent to obstruct justice and may lead to further implications from regulatory bodies.
This situation is unfolding against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny on the accountability of financial leaders, with potential consequences including asset freezing and international arrest orders as the Antigua High Court prepares to exercise its jurisdiction.
As legal proceedings advance, the stakes are inescapably high for those involved, and the message has been clearly articulated: silence could very well lead to serious legal repercussions.
