Additional note for those, who don't know:
The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (familiar as HSBC) was funded after the Second Opium War to finance the opium trade. Also other trade, but the focus was to service the drug dealers and then move profits back to Britain.
It could be said, that when they were caught servicing Mexican drug cartels, it was return to the roots.
