HSBC, drug money laundering

[Phanerothyme 12]

The clue is in the name...

[Mecky 10]

Yeah, what's that all about? That's what I thought? Is it because of where there admin offices are situated? Or is it just because they're in trouble, that's being trotted out?

 

I think they meant staff in a branch of the bank that happens to be sited in the UK.

Of course, without the cash pumped into the system by drug cartels at the time (aka laundered) the crash of 2008 would have been worse.

Hooray for drugs, then.

what a disgrace our government/economy/banks are. our lives are run by posh scum bags, decade's and decade's of them.

 

spot on. They are absolutely disgusting.

 

What stupid comments.

 

They don't run your lives, you do.

 

If you ain't got the sense to be able to run your own lives then quite frankly your a waste of time.

So what in NEW? Maybe reading a grown up newspaper occasionally might not shock the tabloid addicts:

BAnks are into making money, fact. THey produce nothing, make nothing FACT

 

Banks screw customers to make their money, as where else can their money come from?

HSBC a British based bank?

 

Yes. Has been since 1993

no thats a stupid comment,

why do you not pay taxes ?

do you not follow the law ?

 

you must be the only free man in this country.

 

we are supposed to rely on these people to be honest and trust worthy thats why they are appointed these high paid jobs, but they are just greedy little trust fund boys and tbh at the minute our government is making us british look like a right load of idiots because we have lets these pillocks take care of it all for the last 20 years and all they have been interested in is filling up their own pockets and their friends pockets.

It really gets worse by the day, doesn't it?

 

The trouble is, the financial sector is about the only thing that's keeping the UK afloat (on paper, anyway). We've managed to keep their methods quiet thanks to 'Sir' Mervyn King and the politicians. Thankfully, the Americans are not as beholden to the 'system' as our lot and are pointing out what banks really are all about.

 

I knew the people 'in charge' were clueless and it becomes more apparent daily.

I watched an interview with the ex MI5/MI6 agent & novelist John Le Carré where he talks about various banks and their money laundering that some of you might find interesting.

 

Interview starts at 3.24mins and he starts talking about money laundering at 8.22mins.

 

 

The article that he refers to is here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/13/opinion/13mazur.html?pagewanted=all

[stingray-man 10]

Your posting crap.
