Lawsuit: Dismissed Commonwealth of Redmont v. Uffizi Holdings [2025] FCR 43

[juniperfig]

Motion

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION FOR EMERGENCY INJUNCTION

On May 13th, 2025, the former Chief Executive Officer of Discover Bank and Vanguard National Bank publicly announced their sale and divestiture to Volt. As part of the transaction, Volt has assumed all client deposits [P-001].

The Commonwealth respectfully moves this Court for emergency injunctive relief to prevent irreversible harm caused by the consolidation of these entities.

According to the Commercial Standards Act, monopolization includes:

“Any sort of deal wherein two or more businesses seek to merge into a single entity or owner-subsidiary relationship that controls a disproportionately large amount of market share in any particular market.”

The Commonwealth submits that Uffizi Holdings, through its control of Volt, Discover Bank, and Vanguard National Bank, is forming an unlawful monopoly. If the acquisition proceeds, the only remaining competitors in the banking sector would be Voyager Bank and Bank of Redmont / Dino Nuggie Bank (BOR/DNB).

Furthermore, it is arguable that BOR/DNB operate in a distinct segment of the market, offering only interest-free deposits and in-game ATMs. This distinction exacerbates the monopolistic risk, as Uffizi Holdings would become nearly the sole provider of interest-bearing commercial banking services, with only Voyager Bank remaining as a competitor.

Accordingly, the Commonwealth requests that the Court grant the following relief:

• An immediate injunction halting the sale of Discover Bank and Vanguard National Bank to Uffizi Holdings or Volt;
• A stay on all transfers of client balances from Discover Bank and Vanguard National Bank to Volt;
• An order reversing any structural or financial changes already enacted as part of the merger.

Formal prosecution and filing of charges will follow within 24 hours.

Case Filing

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CRIMINAL ACTION


Commonwealth of Redmont
Prosecution

v.

Uffizi Holdings
Defendant

COMPLAINT
The Prosecution alleges criminal actions committed by the Defendant as follows:

The time has finally come for the first monopolisation case in Redmont’s history. Like a dragon hoarding ever-more gold, Uffizi Holdings, parent company of Volt Group AG, has moved to swallow up nearly all remaining competition to the commercial banks that it owns. Through its subsidiaries, Uffizi now owns 3/4 of the viable interest-taking banks, and holds 2/3 of the liquid cash within those banks, totalling more than 5.5 million dollars, not even counting other non-liquid holdings. If ever there was a time where the term “disproportionately large amount of market share” would apply, this would undoubtedly be it. The Commonwealth calls upon the honourable court today to administer justice swiftly and with impunity to reverse this unholy corporate merger.

I. PARTIES
1. Commonwealth of Redmont
2. Uffizi Holdings
3. Volt Group AG (Subsidiary of Uffizi Holdings)

II. FACTS
1. On 13 May, Nexalin, former Chief Executive Officer of Vanguard Private Bank and Discover Bank, announced the divestiture of both banks to Volt Group AG, noting that "Volt has assumed all client deposits".
2. Volt Group AG is owned by Uffizi Holdings.
3. After the sale, if it is not halted, Uffizi Holdings would control three major banks within Redmont. Its only major competitors would be Voyager Bank, the Bank of Reveille, Dino Nuggie Bank, and Cobblestone Bank.
4. The Bank of Reveille is a no-interest bank, while Dino Nuggie Bank utilises bank notes, and Cobblestone Bank is a boutique bank offering service to a very small amount of high-income users, meaning all three of these banks operate in a markedly different space of the market than any bank owned or purchased by Uffizi Holdings.
5. The only remaining general major interest-taking bank following the sale of Vanguard Private Bank and Discover Bank to Volt Group AG will be Voyager Bank, which will serve as the sole competitor to Uffizi Holdings’s banks in the space they operate in within the market.
6. Volt Bank holds over double the amount of liquid cash as Voyager Bank following the transfer of all deposits from Vanguard Private Bank and Discover Bank.

III. CHARGES
The Prosecution hereby alleges the following charges against the Defendant:
1. One charge of monopolization. Per the Commercial Standards Act, monopolization is “Any sort of deal wherein two or more businesses seek to merge into a single entity or owner-subsidiary relationship that controls a disproportionately large amount of market share in any particular market.”

IV. SENTENCING
The Prosecution hereby recommends the following sentence for the Defendant:
1. A fine of ten thousand Redmont dollars charged to Uffizi Holdings.
2. Divestiture of Uffizi Holdings from Vanguard Private Bank and Discover Bank.

WITNESS LIST
1. Avaneesh2008 - Expert witness
2. AsexualDinosaur - Director of Bank of Reveille and owner of Dino Nuggie Bank
3. Nexalin - Former CEO of Vanguard Private Bank and Discover Bank
4. DonTrillions - Chairman of Volt Bank

By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.

[ko531]

The court is Sua Sponte this case.

The Judiciary has searched and cannot find a clear second party to summon. The Commonwealth's complaint has no mention of a CEO or owner of Uffizi Holdings, and it is not the Judiciary's job to search for such information. Even though it is not our job to search we did anyway and found no registered company under /db for Uffizi Holding or any similar name. Under rule 2.1 of the Court rules, standing requires a clear second party. Therefore, this court Sua sponte dismisses this complaint without prejudice for the Commonwealth to fix.

This case is hereby dismissed without prejudice.
