The Fast and Furious operation let illicit guns 'walk' in the hope of tracking them to bigger traffickers, but many of the guns just disappeared into Mexico. Two of those guns were later found at the crime scene where border agent Brian Terry was gunned down by illegal immigrants in December 2010 just north of the Mexican border.”“Infowars Ireland .. HSBC ‘allowed drug cartels to launder money’ BY ADMIN ⋅ JULY 18, 2012 ⋅ Money laundering takes profits from the trafficking of drugs, arms or other illicit activities [Libor spread betting on Thomson Reuters Wag the Joker Dog events] and passes them through bank accounts to disguise the illegal activity. The bank used its US operation as a “gateway” into the US financial system for other HSBC affiliates, Senator Carl Levin, the subcommittee’s chairman, told reporters Monday. Because of lax controls against money laundering, HSBC Bank USA “exposed the United States to Mexican drug money” and other suspicious funds, Levin said. The report says the drug cartels laundered money through the bank’s US division from 2002 through 2009. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that HSBC and the justice department have been in settlement talks and an accord could be struck within weeks. Alisa Finelli, a spokesperson for the justice department, acknowledged that an investigation is under way but declined to comment on possible settlement discussions or a deal [with Kristine Marcy’s fellow sponsors of the DoJ’s Asset Forfeiture Fund].”
“HSBC scandal erupts as British banks face shake-up By Roland Jackson | AFP – Sun, Jul 22, 2012 A scandal erupting at Europe's biggest bank HSBC has added to concerns over the state of Britain's financial sector amid the Barclays rate-rigging affair and as the industry faces a major shake-up. HSBC last week apologised and its head of compliance David Bagley resigned after US lawmakers accused the London-based bank of failing to apply anti-laundering rules, benefiting Iran, terrorists and drug dealers. The HSBC affair follows hot on the heels of the Libor interest rate rigging scandal that has brought down top executives at Britain's Barclays bank -- most notably its chief executive Bob Diamond and chairman Marcus Agius. Regulators are reportedly investigating HSBC, as well as Credit Agricole, Deutsche Bank and Societe Generale, over alleged manipulation of the Libor rate after Barclays was recently fined £290 million over the affair [a portion of which has been kicked back into Marcy’s Asset Forfeiture Fund as an alleged reward for the Fast and Furious killers of Brian Terry]. … A US Senate report has meanwhile found that HSBC had allowed affiliates in countries such as Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh to move billions of dollars in suspect funds into the United States without adequate controls. Lawmakers said money laundered through HSBC-linked accounts benefited Mexican drug lords and terrorist networks, and skirted US sanctions on Iran.”
“Titanic banks hit Libor 'berg By Ellen Brown At one time, calling the large multinational banks a "cartel" branded you as a conspiracy theorist. Today the banking giants are being called that and worse, not just in the major media but in court documents intended to prove the allegations as facts. Charges include racketeering (organized crime under the US Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO), antitrust violations, wire fraud, bid-rigging, and price-fixing. Damning charges have already been proven, and major damages and penalties assessed. Conspiracy theory has become established fact. .. It's already clear that the rate rigging, which depends on collusion, goes far beyond Barclays and indeed the City of London. This is one of multiple scams that have become endemic in a disastrously deregulated system with in-built incentives for cartels to manipulate the core price of finance. .. Bid-rigging was the subject of the US v Carollo, Goldberg and Grimm, a 10-year suit in which the US Department of Justice obtained a judgment on May 11 against three GE Capital employees. Billions of dollars were skimmed from cities all across America by colluding to rig the public bids on municipal bonds, a business worth $3.7 trillion. Other banks involved in the bidding scheme included Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and UBS. These banks have already paid a total of $673 million in restitution after agreeing to cooperate in the government's case. Hot on the heels of the Carollo decision came the Libor scandal, involving collusion to rig the inter-bank interest rate that affects $500 trillion worth of contracts, financial instruments, mortgages and loans. Barclays Bank admitted to regulators in June that it tried to manipulate Libor before and during the financial crisis in 2008. It said that other banks were doing the same. Barclays paid $450 million to settle the charges.”
