I also recommend Netflix’s Dirty Money. It covers the HSBC scandal. I am so disappointed in our American federal government. Totally a sold out of our justice system. Fuck that shit. It was literally a “too big to fail, too big to fuck with”. Disclaimer: I was okay with bail out - but I am not okay with letting these bankers get away with their crimes involving money laundering.

This whole Justice Department going after cash instead of convictions can be blamed largely on Eric Holder.

Matt Taibbi writes about this extensively in one of his books, I can't remember which, but the main points are included in this article for anyone interested.
