Oh Matt Taibbi is a hack of the worst kind. His bullshit and propaganda infuriate me.

His point is that the majority of the fine levied (80%) against JPM was in relation to WaMu and Bear Stearns behaviour BEFORE JPM bought them. The real crazy tho is that JPM _knew_ that some potentiually dodgy stuff had been going on at WaM

Interesting. Seems like there's a syntax to learn for each app you support? Can you provide a few more details on how it works?

Even accepting your thesis for a minute, because one group gets away with bad behaviour does that mean we should excuse everyone's bad behaviour and let everyone behave as badly as they wish? I fear anarchy lies that way. Anyway global

So? DO is a private company offering a service. They're not obliged to accept your money. Don't like them, go elsewhere.

Sadly Britain does have a problem in some communities with ingrained, persistent and extremely damaging anti-social behaviour.

Oh give me a f*cking break. Attempting to regulate the distribution of pornography on the internet is no different than attempting to regulate the distribution of pornography via other media - magazines, video, television etc. We've ha

moonpig.com is an interesting startup and exit story. Moonpig was his nickname at school. He was a rotund child and not terribly popular. he had the last laugh though exiting for several hundred million.

yes they are charged with wilfully failing wrt their AML controls. But again so what? This is absoluetly not the same as wilfully assisting mexican drug money laundering. I.e was this wilful failure actually a deliberate attempt to faciltat

Oh Please! Matt Taibbi is in no way a credible source. > Disabling Or alternatively, just not enabling tougher controls. There's no evidence, or indeed suggestion by prosecutors, that controls were deliberately set low to deliberatl

Yes, so what? There is nothing in this wording that suggests that thresholds were set deliberately to facilitate money laundering. It's just a statement of where the threshold was set. Perhaps in retrospect it was too weak, but given t

There is no evidence anyone at HSBC was willfully assisting or complicit in money laundering. The fines are for weak controls that failed to detect money laundering.

Ah Matt Taibbi... guaranteed unbiased reporting on banks. It's not clear whether any employees knew they were facilitating money laundering. What HSBC has been found guilty of (and what they are being fined for) is lacking sufficient c

Huh, what? No no no. I am simply saying that there is some porn which should not be freely available. Educational stuff, soft porn, fine. It's the hard core, often violent, usually degrading to women, and in some cases, frankly unsafe&

Yeah it's not just about me though. Plenty of parents won't know or won't be bothered. And I am leaving you alone. You're free to opt-out of the filter. Why is that a problem for you?

There is a lot of correlatory evidence. And whilst correlation does not imply causation many studies have observed a correlation. Interestingly enough actually proving causation is difficult and potential research would involve exposing peo

Umm the government decide what is "objectionable" in all areas of life. They enact laws against murder or fraud, they don't allow you to buy alcohool until your 18 (or 21 or whatever), they don't allow you to drive until
