United Bank For Africa [UBA] - Unethical behavior, fraud, extortion

My information is too extensive to list on this form. My name is debra d chisholm. The dates of my incidents include april 2019 through the present. I have an authentic verified inheritance left to me by a dear family member. My account is active but i've never received access to it. One of the former managers of the us branch in new york was convicted of bank fraud in november/december 2019. This past spring when most of the worlds businesses were closed due to covid-19, understandably, so was the headquarters of uba bank. Due to some actions that the aforementioned bank manager, mr. Herold taylor, had made a request through my personal account resulting in a "hold" being placed on my account. Although I never requested this transaction be initiated. Nor was the transaction ever completed. Uba bank held me responsible for the fees which would have been incurred if the transaction had been actually initiated. Thus the reason for the "hold." when headquarters re-opened, I was told that it would be november before the "hold" would be removed. Unless I were willing to pay for the privilege (in other words, extortion) to have the "hold" removed earlier, at the end of april or first of may when I was able to pay. Since I couldn't send the specific requested payment quick enough, the amount of payment to do this was increased. Once the "hold" had finally been removed releasing my account. Then I was notified that I was required to pay taxes "prior" to receiving access to the funds in my account. There are no taxes required to be paid in the us on a cash inheritance. Additionally, if there were taxes due on these funds, they are allowed to be paid after I have access to the funds in the account. Unfortunately, i'm at a significant disadvantage since i'm unable to travel directly to the branch involved to confront these underhanded bankers. So i'm forced to have very limited communication access to most of the bankers with whom i've worked. My estimate of the fees which i've paid and which mr. Taylor has taken is approximately $66, 000.00 usd. Fyi — beware of these practices people! Uba trains their managers to continue adding false fees so you will never have access to your money. Investors beware as well! I don't really need to provide you (uba) with the evidence of this because you already have it. Should any "honest, legal organization" be willing to investigate this matter further, I encourage you to do so.
