GNA: Breaking News!

A stunning turn of events has taken place with the release of dozens of pieces intranet mail, evidence of a pro-Corporatist movement within Okane to influence Shawken culture and governance, and a manifesto by the one who orchestrated it from the very top!

Bank Manager Ona Kieta released a manifesto on the rising tide of corporate governance within the galaxy and a pivot in Okane to exert its influence. Within this manifesto is an admission to the funneling of billions of credits in the galaxy's largest case of wire fraud ever! All to hire the pirates and the Hutt PMC Cornerstone currently harassing the Northern Dependencies, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Republic citizens. Ona Kieta and their family have gone missing, which triggered the internal "dead man's switch" in Kieta's holomail and released all of these documents. It fingers a vast array of other senior management within Okane.

Okane Bank and Trust's stock price has plunged by 34% at open of Shawken's Stock Market. Analysts are projecting it could drop another 40 or 50% before stabilizing, but suspect the banking giant could collapse under the massive sell-off of its shares. Prominent share holders from the ruling Saito family have already began selling their shares.

The Emperor of Shawken has yet to comment but the military has been ordered to wrap up its investigation so it may begin prosecution of these crimes to the highest degree.

Meanwhile, police forces and medical personnel have responded to numerous instances of Okane employees throwing themselves from the Tower in apparent suicide.
