I've been wondering, for a while now, if those banking institutions were ever going to be punished for their crimes.
Well it is classed as a "universal bank" so money laundering should not come as any great supprise LOL HSBC Holdings plc was founded in London in 1991 by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation to act as a new group holding company and to enable the acquisition of UK-based Midland Bank. The origins of the bank lie in Hong Kong and Shanghai, where branches were first opened in 1865. Today, HSBC remains the largest bank in Hong Kong, and recent expansion in mainland China, where it is now the largest international bank, has returned it to that part of its roots. City Triads LOL
And there you have it, Th. People are more concerned over whether or not some loser used banned drugs to capture some lame bicycle titles than with banks profiting from illegal transactions with countries like Iran.
Exactly the problem, did anyone even see this story on the news? All you hear is shit about Lance Armstrong doping.
And why the fuck isn't the hostage crisis getting more media attention. Just more shit about Lance Armstrong's testicle deficiency.
Nope, and I typically watch/view a considerable amount of news per week. I heard of it via The Economist (online) a few months ago.
Seriously, Oprah could run for POTUS...and win! (shivers) I think I'll go and lie down in a fetal position now.
