Dealing drugs, dealing with terrorists, tax evasion, etc... 1.8 billion fine.

1.92 Billion . that's about one month worth of it's earnings

[pfsalinger]

JOB CREATION!!! Get rid of all the top executives, promote some under high scrutiny, and hire replacements to fill empty spots.

The Rich dont go to jail, not in america. Thats common sense

Commey was on the board of HSBC. What's up with that?

[TheGodlyLife]

I've not seen him all over TV on all the talk shows speaking out about it ad nausea he has with other "issues". That's my point.

[coltcomphbar]

This is a great idea. Now the bank will pass it's losses to it's customers with rate increases and hidden charges. AWESOME!

[jaymoney]

money is just paper. so all those lives are worth $1.92 billion is what you mean

[TripleAgent]

It's actually based in Great Britain.

In other times Micheal Moore would be all over TV calling it a slap on the wrist and crony capitalism. But since it's Obama, this is acceptable because it could hurt the customers and widows and children. Stunning silence from the usual cast of critics against capitalism.

Nice, we are fucked. Next time when somebody tells you about your rights just say I have none.
