Re HSBC and banksters... excellent example. Compare also the RBS et al. who actually have been shown to have a dirty tricks division to 'assist' problem customers only to have a hidden agenda which sucks defaulting businesses into a black hole for re-packaging and processing. Similar ethical principles to packaged junk bonds. All came to a head in 2008, but of course has now re-continued and reached ever new lows which can guarantee 2015 will be a year of much social unrest in Europe, and a likely replay of 2008/9 only messier.
You might like to draw inferences to HSBC but I couldn't possibly comment...you might find the Moderators/ Admin act quite quickly when it comes to risk of upsetting litigious entities with printing presses producing fiat currency 24/7. The cracks are starting to show however in that game.
For those who do care about where all this is heading access Keiser Report on RT.com. That will be bound to upset some people.
Also look into the Economics of Happiness and crypto currencies that leave the banksters stranded. Helena Norberg-Hodge is a beautiful multi-lingual Swedish Economist who is based in my old hometown in Devon. Watch this space.
All the above is one reason that I value casinos.
Back to the Blog.....
I didn't make that up, it was all in the daily NY presses about HSBC 'close banking ties' with organized crime entities of Asia. Their take over/buy-out was held up until certain contingency's were met with those relationships, etc. Reminds me of New Jersey's CCC (casino control commission) forever forbidding MGM from having a NJ Gaming License because of Pansy Ho's father, Stanley and that relationship over in China.
( just Google or Bing "HSBC ties to organized crime in China) Plenty of references, this is not fiction.
