Anthropic - State of the Union
Round 13- My continuing appeals for the active engagement of national and EU law enforcement in restoring my consumer rights. This time, I include my 3rd subscriber… exciting times…
Unlucky for some… I retain the continuity if only to discover at what point my chronicle intersects with intervention by law enforcement… I am a pathfinder of the critical threshold…

Dear Sir or Madam,
Today’s report from the front…
I didn’t want to break with the heartwarming flavour of “letters from home” tradition I’ve established over the last 13, golly! that many! time, like butter flies…
No news = good news
Meh! Never been persuaded by that adage… the light at the end of the tunnel is the light of the oncoming train…and “if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…”, perhaps you don’t speak English…
In essence, on the two meta points I raised in my last communique, as articulated by the polarisation between the rock and the hard place the consumer is trapped betwixt in this, near post-scarcity, society of the 21st century; to wit
- Daddy bank
- Cruella De vendor
You may recall the Remora Repellant Remedy I had advocated in my previous communique; I summarise in broad brush strokes…
Mammon has blessed this unholy union; and harnessed them together as bullock to plough.
A union that prioritises possession of our ‘0s and 1s’ being 9 points over our legal sovereign title rights;
Taking responsibility for their own foul issue from cradle to grave;
Without smearing or troubling the consumer, thee and me.
A union that keeps both daddy and cruella ‘honest’ in a mutually assured destruction pact based on the third leg of this ‘unholy trinity of mammon’.; to wit; the ooh, sooo, romantic pre-nup…
“All subscription products must disclose all subsidiary charging mechanisms in plain language at point of sale, with separate cancellation rights for each. No end runs around wording, or punctuation will prevail over the spirit and intent of this wording”.
Both bank and vendor make nothing, in the traditional sense, they control permission to the routes and charge rent for passage; toll booth operators…
Current status
The Sword of Damocles looming at midnight, tonight - 20 March 2026, as remora twitches at the scent of an old victim; and unfinished business…
in an attempt to ‘read the tea leaves’ in the tradition of Nostradamus, I include a report on the…
State of play at close of business, yesterday, 19 March 2026 regarding BoS and Remora Inc.…
- Bank of Sages; silence of the lambs, or collusion, or gerrymandering hard to tell really; but its cards remain under the table; perhaps the challenge of keeping the scales of policy and ethics in balance requires the silence of transcendental meditation…on the SAR and the liability letter…
- Remora Inc.; much the same, really, on the silence front; not a peep about giveth and taketh… don’t know if the remora or the base subscription can see over the time horizon and notice my vulnerability slowly emerging from the mists of future time as I approach 0 hour of subscription extraction; tonight at midnight…
The suspense, is killing me…
CONCLUSIONS
Since I first started reporting to Italian law enforcement (AGCM & Garante) and EU law enforcement (CNECT-AIOFFIC), and now, my new subscriber, from the crime scene, I have kept a ledger of sins, of rubicons crossed, of offences against my digital presence.
I have catalogued 8 aggravating crimes in the past few emails to your offices, they stand at present as:
(note: in my previous email of 16 March ‘26, I provisionally identified BoS in #8 position. I am giving them time to respond, a lot of time it transpires, before I name them as crime #8, and move currently placed 8th to 9th).
At this point, on Friday 20 March 2026, I do not propose adding any additional crime/s to the list below;
Today’s submission, in part, is about keeping my place in your hearts and minds. I thank you for your attention span.
- [130.1] x prepaid markup, basically, price gouging on a service with no guaranteed delivery standard;
- Illegal charge post-cancellation, a straightforward consumer law violation;
- Two contracts behind one with obscured terms, classic unfair contract territory under EU Directive 93/13
- Apple’s timestamp manipulation amounting to third party collusion to defeat cancellation rights.
- An availability of 62.5%, which is well outside industry standards.
- 95% degradation as a punitive response.
- Silent restoration of availability without acknowledgement, explanation, nor apology, which confirms the degradation was deliberate, the restoration was a choice, and Anthropic knew both.
- Draconian throttling between 0.02% and 5% availability as a punitive response.
[Note: The observant may have noticed the operand 130.1 has replaced 61 in the first 11 reports, I have the maths to back it up as the 61 was in error; however, 61, 130.1, meh! Quibbling about amounts is confession; concern about scale misses the point of the law- it’s not the size of it, it’s the fact of it].
Any single one of these is a complaint worthy of your attention and actions.
Together they describe a system designed to maximise extraction, with maximum bad faith, and a complete absence of accountability.

BoS is reflecting ‘am I the fairest of them all’. I am patient. The reciprocity mirror tells no lies.
I remain, the ever travelling, ‘reasonable’, sane, reciprocal and patient man.
