At the end of 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice imposed a fine of
1.9 billion dollars on HSBC, almost 10% of the bank’s earnings. That was
a cost for supporting drug cartels with money laundering and breaking
the sanctions imposed on Iran and Libya. It became clear then, that no
one will be held responsible personally for the bank’s crimes. In
response to that, prosecutors have begun to justify their decision
saying that they do not want to make decisions that could shake up the
financial system.
Therefore, people started to asking questions: “What will happen with
the former HSBC employees involved in crimes? How their punishment
could hit the financial system?”
We go even further and ask: How is it possible that the largest
banks’ employees avoid the punishment? Is it related to one or the other
bribe or intimidation? Or perhaps, the theory about the world
government consisting of untouchable bankers is quite real?
