If it’s true he’s getting knocked back from pleb banks on that scale it’s likely there’s something more to it. On balance, I do think it’s more likely he’s approaching exclusive institutions.

Coutts wouldn’t be obliged in his subject access request to disclose anything indicative of ongoing or previous criminal investigations (even if they came to nothing).
