This Article Headline in a South African “e-news” publication called Fin24 attracted my attention.
StanChart in $340m Iran settlement
Wednesday, 15 August 2012
Standard Chartered will pay $340m to New York’s bank regulator over transactions linked to Iran, in a speedily arranged deal likely to cheer its shareholders.
StanChart CEO takes charge of Iran talks
Cover-up, not Iran, may nail StanChart
StanChart attack ‘a US conspiracy’
What was the whole deal? Guess $340m times 10, giving you over $3bn; or add two more zeroes for over $3 trillion. Be my guest.
Now just think about it; it’s all over in days. Money flashes over the Internet in mille-seconds. However, think about the logistics for the “crime” and the hardware required to move the bounty for which the little fine is offered to squash prosecution for the crime.
A last question, please? Why don’t we hear a word from Russia and China? Well, their minds may perhaps be occupied elsewhere.
Maybe they are thinking how long America can survive a Free Internet, or maybe even where to hoist their flags when they drop over to announce for the World to see the expansion of their property.

Thankee thee Great Elcampeador
This thing stinks to high heavens and needs to be probed right down to the cesspool at the bottom. It looks all too easy with a little fine and a slap on the wrist.

Thanks old Friend. The original links are in there but many others have been added by many writers since and I am also doing a follow-up for Fin24.
This is a real stinker!
