About Everett
As a whistleblower in the landmark HSBC banking scandal, Everett exposed a systemic network laundering millions of dollars for drug cartels and terrorist organizations. Working as a Compliance Officer, they confronted a complex system designed to circumvent financial regulations and transfer illegal funds globally.
The resulting $1.92 billion fine—the largest bank penalty in American history—became a transformative moment. This experience crystallized a clear mission: to combat institutional corruption through rigorous investigation and unwavering commitment to ethical standards.
In response, Everett established Tactical Rabbit, a private intelligence agency dedicated to exposing and challenging systemic corruption across financial and governmental spheres. With a background that includes television appearances, published works like “Dark Money & Private Spies”, and even a 2022 US Senate campaign as an Independent candidate, our organization represents a fearless approach to institutional accountability.
