style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cWhile they disingenuously frame their total disrespect for the law as a matter of fairness, failing to enforce Section 1071 rules will in fact prevent transparency for the public, shield financial institutions from unfair practices coming to light and delay prosperity for small businesses.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
