wow, that pretty much sums it up. We have more than enough regs on the book to reign in banks. We just choose not to enforce them.

- m_alexgr 11y agoThis. A result of the proverbial revolving door between regulators and the banks. You can have regulations up the wazoo and it won't make a spec of difference if they are not properly enforced. Even with the odd criminal conviction bank regulation is kabuki theatre for mass consumption. These guys get away with murder - literally. EDIT: yes, literally the murder of thousands in Mexico. HSBC bank & Sinaloa cartel. HSBC in particular has a long history of enabling drug cartels. The Opium Wars.
- fennecfoxen 11y agoLiterally, hmm? I'd be quite interested to hear about these murder cases you allege (who murdered, who died, which jurisdictions and courts were involved, et cetera).
