HSBC and other large banking institutions have gotten away with a slap on their wrist when it comes to laundering millions, possibly billions of dollars in drug money.
Fines are not enough, if laundering was done by a private US Civilian, that person would go to prison for years. Not one executive of HSBC was charged in these multimillion dollar crimes that support the drug cartel's finances, allowing them to buy weapons, bribe officials, sustain and expand their illicit business practices. The only way to make corporate Bankers and Executives take "white collar" crime seriously is to hold them as accountable as any other citizen of our county and bring them into a court of law for a fair trial.
