Even Iran Knows How To Fix The Corrupt Banker Problem
Having watched Tim Geithner's disgusting defense of the tax-payer-backed re-inflation of a corrupt and knowingly devastating banking system on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, and watching the US fine (no jail time for anyone) a Swiss bank which admits its guilt over billions of fraud yet allow them to remain a prime dealer of US Treasuries; we thought the following story from a '3rd world banking system' would open a few eyes in the US this weekend as 'we remember'. As AP reports, a billionaire businessman at the heart of a $2.6 billion state bank scam in Iran, the largest fraud case since the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution, was executed Saturday, state television reported.
A billionaire businessman at the heart of a $2.6 billion state bank scam in Iran, the largest fraud case since the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution, was executed Saturday, state television reported.
Authorities put Mahafarid Amir Khosravi, also known as Amir Mansour Aria, to death at Evin prison, just north of the capital, Tehran, the TV reported. The report said the execution came after Iran's Supreme Court upheld his death sentence.
Khosravi's lawyer, Gholam Ali Riahi, was quoted by news website khabaronline.ir as saying that the death sentence was carried out without him being given any notice. Death sentences in Iran are usually carried out by hanging.
"I had not been informed about the execution of my client," Riahi said. "All the assets of my client are at the disposal of the prosecutor's office."
State officials did not immediately comment on Riahi's claim.
The fraud involved using forged documents to get credit at one of Iran's top financial institutions, Bank Saderat, to purchase assets including state-owned companies like major steel producer Khuzestan Steel Co.
Khosravi's business empire included more than 35 companies from mineral water production to a football club and meat imports from Brazil. According to Iranian media reports, the bank fraud began in 2007.
A total of 39 defendants were convicted in the case. Four received death sentences, two got life sentences and the rest received sentences of up to 25 years in prison.
The trials raised questions about corruption at senior levels in Iran's tightly controlled economy during the administration of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Mahmoud Reza Khavari, a former head of Bank Melli, another major Iranian bank, escaped to Canada in 2011 after he resigned over the case. He faces charges over the case in Iran and remains on the Islamic Republic's wanted list. Khavari previously admitted that his bank partially was involved in the fraud, but has maintained his innocence.
What happens in American when the stock 'market' falls? When it becomes clear that all this money-printing has done nothing 'real'... and the middle-class finally realizes what the central planners are up to...? For sure, until then, no billionaires are going to jail, let alone being executed... in America - the land of the consequence-free...

I wouldn't have guessed such a backward state even had nail-guns.
Why bother with nail guns when you've got rope and swords handy. They are Persians btw....
I hope Jamie Dimon is paying attention...
No doubt he did. He started writing more campaign donation checks.
This is why we should bomb bomb bomb Iran.
Orrrrrr... is it why we should send them a nice gift basket and thank you card?
Hemp rope is a renewable resource.
Iran's attitude toward bankers and usury in general is precisely why they are targeted for destruction by our money masters. The monsters who lord over us must have the whole world or nothing... it is written in their book. Kudos to Iran for meting out justice.
If by "we should bomb bomb bomb Iran" you mean "Vichy DC must be cleansed by fire" then I think you might be on to something.
You forgot put this signature:
"The ruling oligarchy of USA."
And yes I junked you, just because of that.
I would quibble with your verb tense. "Will" not should. Must stomp out those barbaric, eeevil mudholes that hold bankers accountable for their crimes.
"This is why we should bomb bomb bomb Iran."
Not why we should, but why we probably will.
"To tell a lie is considered by them the greatest disgrace, and next to that to be in debt… especially because they think that one in debt must of necessity tell lies." - Herodotus re persians.
Keyser I hope Jamie Dimon is paying attention...

And I hope you and other ZHs are. This is a regime that could be your own one day. Not to defend bankers or corruption, but we (you) face a future with a government that has a monopoly on legalized terror and armed force. Now the government controls the assets. Who's to say your property won't be confiscated for the good of society one day (Eminant Domain anyone)?
I see so much trash talk about bankers and oligarchs. That is to easy. It is the government that profits, partners and creates these situations.
You talk as if there is a difference between Banksters and Government.
The only difference is the speed of payment for ill gotten gains.
Banksters get paid quick, Government Banksters get paid after they leave service.
And don't confuse 'government' with the corrupt posturing clowns who supposedly represent us. Government is the Real And Permanent one that rules without reference to anyone.
They also didn't have to look very far for a carpet to roll up the body in.
Blood stains increase a Persian rug's value, more authenticity.
Exactly so.
Persians are creepy. I saw 300.
I dunno, Spartans creeped me out.
Some of them can't wait for executino?

A lot to be thankful this week.
Bernanke, I see you.
Have you ever actually been to Iran to form such an opinion or are you just winging it?
zog party line.
I wasn't fast enough with the /Sarc, or /Irony. ;)
This article isn't here on ZH as a commentary on Iran.
Guess they didn't use the Oklahoma botched execution handbook
I thought I read something somewhere that one guy who is a politician in Iran controls a bunch of companies. A cross between Harry Reid and Buffet. He skims off of everything. It is not this guy.
Hopefully, Jon Corzine will be free one day.
Still got off too easy
Hang a banker a day until the rest improve.
I think it was Ken Livingstone who said it - apologies, Ken, if I'm wrong.
That might be the BEST. IDEA. EVAR.
Another good idea, this one from Russia:

Shoot the first one, Word gets around.
What gauge nail would you recommend?
You know same thing with those GM execs who did the calcuations and figured paying settlements for fatal car accidents are cheaper than doing recalls.
I am quite shocked that no murder charges have been filed against the Execs in the know at GM. All they got was a congressional BS hearing lol.
The lack of prosecutions in this country of criminal behavior by large corporations is stunning to say the least.
Why should there be hearings? The families are the victims not the taxpayers.
Quit making me pay for the crimes of others, let them pay for their own crimes.
But, But, Corporations are 'people'....so why can't they go to jail.....or vote?
Ahhhh.... I love the smell of rotten bankers in the morning!!!!
Did they give him a 21 nail salute?
Did they give him a 21 nail salute?
Probably not...their whole legal system is a fars....
Our legal system on the other hand ensures that justice is served equally to all no matter what their social status or ethnicity is. At least that's what the thought me in skool.
1976 just called. They want their social studies textbook back.
"Justice" can be had in the US. You have to be in the right district, and be willing to fight tooth and nail for it, but it can still be had. And by fight tooth and nail, in an instance when you are accused, you have to have a pretty damned good idea of how the system works, and you have to be willing to do the equivalent of not swerving in a game of chicken. One thing that a crooked or lazy DA hates to hear when they have overcharged a person (i.e. 7 felonies when the probable cause supports an arrest for 1 misdemeanor, but not really, but some cop decided it did, and he has an IQ of 70 and the mentality of a baboon) and are angling for a plea bargain is "trial, motherfuckers." There are a lot of instances where cops don't do a real investigation these days. A lot of the time, they'll make a snap judgement, and the DA will back their play by overcharging the person and then using the threat of years or decades to get the person to plea down to a minor charge. WTF are you going to do if they may or may not have the evidence to convict you of a crime that you could spend 6 months in jail for, but they're coming at you full bore claiming that you can be put away for decades?
Been there, done that. Many times it's a load of BS they throw at you. They are lazy bullies and just want you to give in.
I went to trial and got acquited. There wasn't a shred of evidence against me. NOTHING BUT AN ACCUSATION. But the crap they threw at me before trial was beyond belief.
It's become a terrible system. If you are convicted at trial, they will throw the book at you, because you actually forced them to work. American Justice is dead. For now.
El Vaquero "Justice"
The problem is its impossible to convict a rogue DA, and you can't
even get them fired.
You forgot the biggest thing you need to fight for justice. MONEY. I know a guy who took a plea bargain to avoid doing time (but still has a conviction that limits his employment options for life). He had a good chance of being found Not Guilty but couldn't risk the possibility that the overcharge would triumph in court (with a few years inside) and he couldn't afford the $100,000 cash up front to pay for a proper legal defence.
I si what you did there.
Probably not...their whole legal system is a fars....
OK, HONDO, what legal system are you using as a guage? shall we all guess? is it the one you have been indoctrinated educated inducted into?
(Pssst, what language do they speak?)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsi
I think you meant Farsi. The others should not have down voted you cause that was kind of clever.
How do we know if it's not a political execution ???
Maybe he had crossed some powerfull guy in the government...
Faricate some proofs ,execute him and then redistribute his wealth to your vassals !
So, nothing like any '1st world' country, then?
/sarc
The "new" wealth distribution meme.
I like it.
Maybe they "shoed" him to death.
I'm a US subject and I approve of this message.
We could have a TV show called "Hanging with The Oligarchs" Line up Buffet, Gates, Dimon, Blankfein, throw in some politicians, Clinton, Bill & Hill, Oboner, Romney, Bush and his whole family, and do a mass hanging with the proceeds, their confiscated illgotten wealth, going to charity, the middle class.
Jews would never greenlight that.
Can we crowdfund this brilliant idea? With the money, hire some mercenaries and let the games begin.
An assassination market or market for assassinations is a prediction market where any party can place a bet (using anonymous electronic money, and pseudonymous remailers) on the date of death of a given individual, and collect a payoff if they "guess" the date accurately. This would incentivise assassination of individuals because the assassin, knowing when the action would take place, could profit by making an accurate bet on the time of the subject's death. Because the payoff is for knowing the date rather than performing the action of the assassin, it is substantially more difficult to assign criminal liability for the assassination.

While we're at it don't forget Soros, Rupert Murdoch, Oprah Winfrey, Council on Foreign Relations useful idiot George Clooney, senior shareholders/leadership at Black Stone, Black rock, and Black Water...
Don't forget Corzine.
"We could have a TV show called "Hanging with The Oligarchs"
I was wondering if you were the incarnation of Robespierre, but I realized hanging
wasn't gory enough.
They didn't fix it, they made an example of a crooked banker.
Something the USA and UK don't believe in.
No harm in gettnig the list ready ahead of time: Jamie Dimon, Loyd Blankfein, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, Chuck Schumer. Wait a minute Schumer wasn't a banker. That's ok. Let the mistake stand.
He's making a list and checking it twice. Going to find who's been naughty or nice. Russia, Germany and China are coming to town.
Corzine. Don't forget Corzine.
Corzine? Who is that?
Hey Doc. $26 <>billion and counting. I laugh at articles about millions. (fall guys)
Hanging would be much too lenient for Corzine...
He needs to be made to suffer for a LONG time before he dies...
Just like all those he financially ruined!
Dont forget Blythe Masters
Nah!
Her punishment will be to service ALL of the 5th Maine Regiment. Those baby faced killers will make her wish for something more permanent!
WAM0556 - you want our Marines to stick their dicks into that diseased cunt? You must be a terrorist. Imagine the trauma. Their lives would be ruined forever. How can you be so cruel?
"Dont forget Blythe Masters"
Imagine a huge silver-dildo...
that has been max-roughened up with very coarse sandpaper...
and then attached to the end of an industrial-strength pneumatic power pavement chisel...
I'm sure you can imagine the rest...
You should apply the probably culpable doctrine instead of the plausable deniablility/presumed innocence one. So long as you just presume it is constitutional until proven otherwise while you do it.
Blythe masters, Neel Kashkari, Henry Paulson, Dick Fuld...

I think we need a new form of execution. How about burying them alive in a huge pile of worthless FRN's ?
.
I'd imagine those single-ply FRNs would burn pretty well. How about an auto-da-fiat?
you might ask what is america and american? fascinating
question.
,
there is an answer...
and the answer is?
America is the country of America. The country of America is the people and the land that they inhabit.
Americans are the people that inhabit the American country. They are citizens of the American country.
The DC US is the criminal nation occupying the American country.
A shitty circular answer that has no premises in reality. Nations are merely fences for livestock.
Well, it is a work in progress. I have thought long and hard about it though.
Your thoughts on the subject would be appreciated so that I may further extend the concept.
Thank you.

If a bankster were ever to be convicted here in the U.S they would probably out live us all while the appeals process takes place.
But at least the American public will be assured that the bankster is suffering whilst under house arrest at his palazzo.
I did 4 years in prison for bank robbery before I had taken the red pill. Now, knowing what I know, I wish I had killed some of those bankers after I robbed the place. Enjoying my freedom a little too much right now, but god help them all if I get into a place where I've got nothing to lose once again.
"It's only after losing everything that we're free to do anything."
Is the shlub making auto loans at the local branch bank the problem?
Sadly, yes they are. I, disgustingly, worked for a bank for a couple years before deciding to rob them and the drive from the higher ups is ALWAYS more loans and more customers to bilk money out of. They try to rationalize that they're providing a service when all they are doing is charging 18% interest on money created out f thin air. Its the same defense as the nuremberg trials, "I was only following orders". Bank tellers would make great FEMA camp guards.
Sorry for the late post, takes me awhile to go through comments, but having read a number of yours, you surely won't defend any banker no matter how low on the totem pole. That's like defending soldiers who only signed up to get out of poverty, but will not question for a second taking the life of another human being just because they're told to. They are both cogs in the same corrupt system.
"I did 4 years in prison for bank robbery"
Couldn't wait til you owned it?
"Convicted"?! LOL Like Corzine?!
Going to take years for them to be arrested, then years to come to trial, then years exhausting the appeals process, then let off due to "health" issues.
"My guillotine can fast-track the process."
The problem is that in the west, the grand scam of financialization involves too many people to just execute. In Australia finance and real estate bubbles now form the basis of everything, and "academics" seriously see no problem in predicting even more wonderful "growth" in these industries. Our entire societies are scams, all financial promises are lies, we have beggared our unborn. So what do we do, seppuku? Nah just deny it all
>>>Our entire societies are scams...
Quoted for truth.
Even corrupt, deteriorating societies have a considerable number of basically decent people, but at this point in "the West", such people are allowed nowhere near the levers of power.
Just thank God that America still finds it's greatest strength in Diversity.

I guess "Blind Lady Justice" immigrated to Iran. Superman and "Blind Lady Justice" deported from USA long ago. President Obama wanted to transfor USA and says...."Fuck Truth Justice and the American Way" and just give us the money if you want justice.

True, there's lifelong solitary, waterboarding, audio-visual disorientation and, if something a buddy of mine told me is true, him having been there to fit some CCTV cameras and motion sensor shit... having to blow the guards for food (a private prison in Kentucky, if I understood correctly).

In some Islamic sects accruing interest on money borrowed is considered a sin.
Bankers have a better chance of meeting the gallows in Islamic countries.
Usury was in fact a mortal sin for christians as well, until evil and corrupt church leaders decided they knew better.
yes, until they got bribed and di not resist. we have to live with this. so long the money rules, we can expect a corruption in our society.
I do not want to say, that the best world woth of living was the stone age, there are other models, which would eliminate money and organize society in a bit different way, as we know it today.
THE REASON HE WAS EXECUTED IS OBVIOUS.
HE DIDN'T STEAL ENOUGH MONEY!

Sentence one senior US banker to an arse raping prison for 10 years.... then there would be a quick decline in corrupt bankers.
Banksters are true cowards....a little arse raping will send them all running...trying to sell out their local bought politician.
So long as they can hide behind bought paid for corrupt politicians, presidents and regulators they will never cease their corruption and evil plans.

Hello everyone.
I am an Iranian (persian) and let you know the only reason that Mr. Amirkhosravi was executed was possible threats which may cause some problem for government and higher than that, I mean The Leader (Ayatollah Khamenei).So never cross in your mind that the goverment in Iran killed him because of fraud. 5 years ago, Mr. Amirkhosravi was one of the successful entrepreneur and a manager of more than 10 companies which most of them were flourishin and now he is a .... !!!!
This kind of persons with high level of prestige and fame and also money has influential and confidential information that if revealed, caused many problem for government and you know the simplest way of getting rid of all threats.
Seems to me hanging a thousand bankers for the wrong reason is better than killing one child with a drone.
All we know of this is an Iranian press release--From Rothschild owned AP no ness--so who knows what this cat was really up to. But you know, the Iranians don't front....they'll hang your ass in public from a construction crane. You do that shit to a couple of MF Global and JP Morgan pirates, you could start a trend worth following.
Perhaps that is the root cause of the nailgun suicides?
