This is on the front-page of HN because, as Richard Feynman said, "It's the things that nobody knows about that we can discuss. We can talk about the weather; we can talk about social problems; we can talk about psychology; we can talk about international finance... so it's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!".

On the other side of the LIBOR issue, reading through many of the comment pages here and seeing all the cries for disincorporating banks or "eliminating the profit motive" betrays an unfortunately reactionary populism.
