Brigham testified that, during a capital raise with Credit Suisse, with whom he claims to have raised over $1 billion with over 15 years, the bank instructed him put out overtly political statements on ESG. Brigham explained that an unidentified bank almost immediately approved him for a loan, while Credit Suisse failed to respond to his loan application.

Brigham claims he responded that science is ever-evolving, prompting the representative to offer an opportunity to strike a deal -- but only if Brigham parroted the bank’s climate agenda
