People are put in prison for stealing toblerone bars and yet HSBC can do all that and not face anything more than a probable paltry fine. Britain is the center of financial sewage and political corruption and this story is a prime example of this. They want the money to keep rolling in, but their reputation is mud and in time it will bite them all on the arse in a rather unpleasant way. Banking and politics, it's running on borrowed time. Tick, tock.
