Spot on and this is what I meant. By "public github" I meant code on the internet but accessible to anyone in the consulting company. There are multiple modules and they are moved to github,bitbucket and stash.
This also means people without background checks or ANYONE in the organization has access to ALL the code of the bank. In the bank ONLY people in specific departments have access to specific code (As is customary for all IT industry)
I am not trying to be a whistle-blower and mr goody two shoes. I am very angry that my refusal to upload code to the internet is resulting in non-payment of fees and threats that I will never get a contract in this city. And as an independent contractor I am truly terrified of uploading bank code to the internet; I don't want to end up in jail for stupid reasons.
