Oh wow, the Department of Justice actually went after someone at HSBC. Are they trying to compensate for a recent report that concludes it let HSBC skate on its criminal money laundering business because it was too big to jail?
And for background on the blatant money laundering they enabled:
>drug dealers would sometimes come to HSBC's Mexican branches and "deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, in a single day, into a single account, using boxes designed to fit the precise dimensions of the teller windows."
"Free to those who can afford it, very expensive for those who can't."
