Standard Chartered alleged to have laundered money to Iran.
I think I'll pop down to the local branch in a minute and smash a cashier in the face.

How was Kenny to know before he sorted that kit deal out? Arf. Sometimes getting a big kit deal paid for with dirty money is more important than winning trophies. PS: Now we've pissed the Yanks off I'm betting tighter regulation is going to come a helluvalot quicker than planned). |

This is more the case of the Bank not being up to date with the controls needed for the latest legislation on financial and export screening rather than them knowingly laundering money.
However that doesn't mean that the press can't whip up a frenzy and have the general public threatening to assault bank cashiers*
*I am aware that you are joking of course Soph

Bank cashiers are just one step up from Argos cashiers.

It's those in the retail banking sector I feel for. They've suffered just as much as anyone from this whole thing.

I think that might have been the case with HSBC but, from the tone of this article and associated quotes, this sounds deliberate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19159286If they're not guilty then NOW would be the time to buy shares. |

All alleged by the US, they don't have any hidden agendas at all. If you're suggesting their 'hidden' agenda is the removal of the Iranian regime one way or another then that's fine with me. State sponsored terror, murder and rape isn't a cause too many would support outside the Mullahs. |

Got to admit that doesn't look good - not certain if it's the 'convincing picture' or my memories of weapons of mass destruction threats that make me doubt anything the authorities say. It looks like the bank sought legal advice and followed it blindly though. |
