I think that's what a lot of people here are not realising (or perhaps they haven't read the article). In this case the main victim is HSBC if these loans were made to individuals who are speculating on foreign real estate without the income to cover the loan. This doesn't look like originate and distribute, i.e. HSBC shareholders will bear the losses.
