Confused Why So Many Foreign Banks Are Suddenly Being Charged By The US? Here's Why
It's very simple really. Please point out where on the below list of Top 20 contributors to a randomly selected US politician, in this case New York's Chuck Schumer, can one find Standard Chartered, Barclays, or HSBC?
And there's your answer, which should also explain why banks such as Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, etc, will never be subject to the same kangaroo court in which suddenly everyone is shocked, shocked, that banks were manipulating Libor and laundering money or doing any other thing which bankers do day after day, every day.
Oh yes, there is an election coming up too...

Frankly, I'm shocked.
These British banks are so naive, thinking they can get away without paying off the protection racket.
All the best friends forever of the New York Branch of the Mother Whore Federal Reserve stand and salute the mad racketeering protection skills of one Honorable Chucky Schumer, the best Wall Street Prostitute/Poontang filthy money can buy.
He's ready to introduce legislation having Manhattan secede from the U.S. and be granted most favored whoredom of finance status.
Chuck says "fuck flyover country, bitchez. They're running out of wealth and assets to leech off of to props up my peeps! Sayonara, U.S.A."
You are TRUE THEIR bitch, Chuck 'Patriot' Schumer. Take a bow.
There's never an end to the good deeds of the BIS.
sounds like a Jewish problem....
hehe
But HSBC, SC and Barclays their money is not "Kosher"
The Obamneys accept US banks money which is honest and sincere, not funded by some "Terrarist"
FUBAR, Bitchez

'Cept it's the wrong ones getting shot.
Sadly, in time, after so many Americans have been lied to, dispossessed, mistreated and then insulted they will turn to the old scapegoat - 'The Jews" to otherwise blame for EVERYTHING.
They will see "The Jews" in the media, the banks, the courts, the politicians, the lobbyists, the white collar crime, the fake war on terror, the police state, the Federal Reserve and all its tricks, the Obamacare with no doctors, the TSA, body-scanners, drones and checkpoints and gun-grabbing and Obama's Indonesian citizenship and its concealment all stemming from age old stereotypes used again and again across continents to conveniently blame a group of people - and they will go berserk.
In 1929, the Crash. By 1931, Germany's biggest bank was gone. By 1933 Hitler came to power. People forget than Germany was the height of science and philosophy at the time, yet de-evolved into Nazism. History tends to repeat itself.
People are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
...until they are sick and tire of blaming others; of seeing effects of not-learning...
it tends to repeat, reset; repeat, reset;...
Time and space has not moved. We are still at 1930 !
I'm afraid they'll blame libertarians instead of Jews, though. But who knows.
S'truth. If there weren't so many goyim selling themselves to the Jews, the Jews would be powerless. Jewbullshit - from Zionist wars to State Socialism - walks because JewMoney talks. Meyer Anselm said it all.
It,s a disgrace when zionists call themselves jews.
Zionism=Naziism

"The estimated price tag for the US elections in November is almost $6bn (£3.8bn)."
"It makes UK election spending look microscopic by comparison. A total of £31m ($49m) was spent by all parties in the last general election in the UK two years ago - making US spending 120 times as much, and 23 times as much per person."
And you suckers only get a "choice" of two parties!

The real irony is the names in the list of "foreign" banks that are primary dealers.
bingo! they are not "foreign", they are part of the $ugar $istem - and this includes now the communist regime of China!
Looks like a WWF-style cage match between London and Wall Street/DC. I thought they were joined at the head....like evil conjoined twins.
ZH is so cynical...and so right!
Interesting choice of terms... "cynical"
Twice within the last week I was enjoying conversation in a very ZH vein with some folks who, about 7 to 10 years ago were telling me I was a fucknut Conspiracy Theorist and about 3 years ago starting to pay heed who I think are now clearly in the conversion process... described me as a cynical realist.
Like I'm fond of saying; eventually all conspiracy theories are proved correct.
Should they fully awake, they'll soon see the "cynical" as an oxymoronic term of endearment to Realist
"Like I'm fond of saying; eventually all conspiracy theories are proved correct."
So sasquatch really killed Jimmy Hoffa and buried him under Marilyn Monroe's casket? I knew it!
that is just fancy, not conspiracy.
we should appreciate the (le)
difference.
side note: fancy is also appreciated !
Who paid you to say that? Was it the pope trying to protect the knights templar from being discovered as an alien super race from the future?
No silly, that was what McCain promised he'd disclose about Biden to get Palin on the ticket.
Cynical realist, how weird is this?
My family was just talking about this sort of thing on the Fourth of July. My son say's...Mom what are you.an optimist or a pessimist?
She said...an optimist. He say's well I know Dad's a pessimist.
I eye-balled him in the rear view mirror, smiled and said...well...one thing about a pessimist is, he's never ever disappointed in outcomes but its a heckuva way to go through life expecting the worst...lol.
No son, I'm just cynical through many years of trial, error and observation, I still hold out hope for people and things in general, love you guys with every fiber of my being...but in the end...I am a cynical realist.
He nodded in approval...probably just wanted me to shut up ;-)
@nmewn -
Long time no chat. Your comment struck a cord. On more than one occasion I have told my son "Expect the best in people, but be prepared for the worst."
I'm also trying to reverse the "If I only knew then what I know now" concept with him. That one isn't going so well. He's only 6, so I figure I have time.
Cheers.
Only 6 and you haven't strapped him into a chair and explained to him to be most wary of people that offer you things for free; because nothing is free you just don't always know the cost or partiular currency.
Are you referring to religion?
Just kidding, perhaps.
thought i would give him 6 years of innocence before strapping him in. next generation should run about 4 years...
I have adult children; you're an optimist:)
@VI,
Long time old friend...where the hell you been? Last time I seen you check in it was from a beach...you dog ;-)
"I'm also trying to reverse the "If I only knew then what I know now" concept with him. That one isn't going so well. He's only 6, so I figure I have time."
Boy howdy...lol.
My son is thirteen now and I started on him about where you are now and I "think" its starting to sink in. Your's will be gettin some feed back from peers pretty soon so keep a sharp eye/ear out for correction...idiocy comes from just about every direction.
I can't tell mine everything about my past and how I know but he's startin to put it all together on his own...which is enough, for now.
Sorry for the late response, I've been absorbed with trying to find a motorcycle safety class close by me the last hour or so.
Apparently, in my state governments infinite wisdom, they decided in 2008 that one needs to pay a third party 160-200 bucks to prove one can legally operate a motorcycle on public roads in Fla...even though I owned several and rode them with complete abandon to my life & limb in my youth...as if I won't now at 52 after taking a stupid safety course by a 30yr old ;-)
We are surrounded by dweebs my friend.
.
The bad news is the pessimists are usually right. The good news is the optimists live longer and have more fun.
"ZH is so cynical...and so right!"
I know you meant well...But, MY MAIN MAN and "his team" are INSIGHTFUL!!...
I feel better now
Frankley Barney, I'm twin shockered.
well, after your shock you might want to check where your donation is unless you want to pay taxes next year....
No, it's because all the US Banks are totally honest and just doing God's work?
If not, expect to see the UK FSC announcing irregularities with some large US Banks London operations soon. How difficult will that be???
Exactly philipat +100. And I don't think they'll have to look too hard. Cough.. JPM!

====================
Short the Demented Bnksters :-;
Bankers first thought....
Now just put the fines on your balance sheet, before collected of course.
Now loan them out with an astronomical frational resreve.
Now we are solvent again.
All our problems are fixed.. Right?
The day is coming....
for what? to hang the bankers and politicians?
that seems like a lot of work with a low probability of success
the easier way to disrupt this system is for customers to withdraw their money from these banks, put in credit unions and hard assets like gold, then watch the house of cards fall
They'd have the mindless sheep whipped up into a frenzy over the Chinese-Iranian-Russian Axis of Evil before you could say 9-11
im guessing the mindless sheep dont have too many FRNs in their accounts with these banks
in fact, the banks are probably servicing their accounts at a loss
the ppl with the real money should boycott these banks. no deposits with them. no loans from them. no dealings with them at all
everyone is tired of the corrupt bankers and politicians. you want it to change? do something about it and boycott these banks
It should be apparent that these banks are sinking and that they need no assistance. Yeah, it would be jolly good fun to crank up the heat, but it's energy that would be wasted (momentary thrill I suppose).
Putting what little money that peons have left in to Credit Unions is not going to be any solution. The entire paradigm is collapsing, and that collapse will take out the Credit Unions as well. DISCLAIMER: I've belonged to Credit Unions for well over two decades (and I have ZERO stock in the for-profit banks); I'm not trashing them (just discounting the probability that your suggestion will really make much difference).
"the ppl with the real money"
"everyone is tired of the corrupt bankers and politicians. you want it to change? do something about it and boycott these banks"
Why would the people with the "real" money be tired of the system they created?
Nobody is that old.

The few of them that are wise to the scam will do exactly that. The rest of them won't realize what's going on until they are just about to declare victory. By then, of course, it will be far too late for them to do anything.
The people with real money are the last victims to be targeted. By real money, I mean so much that they stopped keeping track twenty years ago. So much that single-digit billions will only get you in the gate if you're the pizza delivery boy, because single-digit millions are a pizza delivery tip.
An elaborate, convincing, and professionally choreographed charade has been constructed to convince them that they are part of the 0.01 percent. They have been the recipients of the upward flowing wealth. They have been given carte blanche immunity to criminal prosecution. They go to parties in Geneva and the Hamptons. They are also the final marks in the world's biggest game of Three Card Monte.
A multi-billionaire that can't completely fill in the spaces on a bingo card with the names of the people that Lloyd, Jamie, Ben, and Timmah work for (Rothschild is the free space) is just another one of the marks. They are the last to be fleeced because they've been tricked into doing all the work of fleecing those beneath them.
By the time they figure this out, their assets will have already been frozen. They will find themselves on no-fly lists. Their passports will be seized when they try to use them. Ultimately they will gladly surrender everything they own when they are made to understand the consequences of failing to do so voluntarily.
The rest of their days will be spent wishing they'd withdrawn their paper from the system's financial sea lampreys. They will deserve, and receive, no sympathy.
Well, Lordy, Lordy, Halleluja! I seem to remember making this suggestion in one of my first posts on ZH. The question is, are enough people aware of the dangers of keeping 'money' in a 'bank'?
Answers on a postcard, please, to The Hon. T. Geitner.
working capital has to be kept in a bank, but long term savings should be kept in hard assets that can't be printed.
it will take more than one comment on a ZH post to get this movement going. the reality is most ppl are lazy and will complain about corruption their whole life and not do anything about it.
I am proud that I have no dealings with the above banks and insurance companies, and that helps me sleep easier at night
I'm with you brother. And not only that, but turn off the TV and talk radio, don't vote, don't borrow money. They seduce with temptations. Resist Satan, and he will flee.
Like all bullies, these are paper tigers. But it takes spine and self denial, which is what they seek to destroy by a thousand cuts, through the the cartoon Family Guy.
People have it all wrong. If you want to stop the bankers- hang their kids. You have to take out the next generation.
Chuckie better take a few steps to the side lest the marauders unknowingly gather him up with the rest of the banksters and march/drag them to the nearest lampposts.
Please everyone, don't warn him before hand...
i think more fitting, as the band Bong Water wrote ' Time is Coming '
TIME IS COMING, BITCHEZ
Yep. Before long, as the Fed and Uncle Sam want to prop up US financial institutions even further (while decrying unfair trade practices by China etal), they may REQUIRE the use of US institutions with mandatory accounts held there in order to have a business registered in US or even to conduct business with US firms. Just saying . . .
Oh and I love it how the Feds are pissed at the NY regulator for supposedly blowing the whistle early.
Give me a break.
More whistleblowing. Less corruption bullshit please.
Lay the dirty banker secrets right here on ZH insiders.
The Federal Government is pissed...and they should be. There might be implications financially for the City and the State...as right as the decision was. Just because the turtle can hide in his shell doesn't mean he can't just be tipped over....and unless and until the Financial System is understood as transnational then it's easy for the Fed's to argue "we going backwards here."
For blowing the whistle early?
Holy bejesus, the investigation has been ongoing since Q4 2010.
More like making it public before it was forgotten in exchange for services rendered.... like offshore accounts, money transfers for powerful folks.... whatthefuckever.
Look, if the Brits want to get really prissy about all this, they remove all the US bankers from the City of London and viola... no more infinite rehypothication, no more absolute secrecy, no more of the Real Club of Finance and Banking.
Well yes exactly before the Feds would allow it to be forgotten, yes.
There is no too early for the Feds when you want something to just go away.
I'm not so sure. I think it's because those countries haven't been able to persuade Waffle House to open there. Standard Chartered Smothere and Covered. Just saying...

Chuckie should be one of the first to be hanged.
Mercy, Mercy he will not suffer enough.
Just make them poor that's what they fear. Being middle class and living off of 100k that u actually have to work at getting. Thats before healthcare insurance rape bullshit, 401k casino crap, federal extortion ,state extortion payments.
Upchucky has a head shaped like a distended rectum.

Nothing will happen, the "system" works like that. So therefore remember, (i) election year and (ii) Bernadraghi have to (and will) fix it.
You gotta be fuckin' kidding me!
Nice the Chuckster being exposed -- I'm sure that will be worth a 2 point drop in his aproval rating
The teleprompter in chief requires fuel for his plane and overtime so his protectors can hire women where he goes. Fining banks is a great way to getting these things accomplished. :)
I saw Bwaney Fwank at a Chick-fil-a.
And pray tell, did he pick the drumstick en la rectum service?
Chuck Schumer is a motherfucking asshole. Period. I'd say it right to his fucked up face if I could.
Of course, this self-delusional, self-entitied prick has protection.
Insulated little prick.
I hope his heart blows up and he dies soon.

Of course they're gonna fund Romney up front, that's how the game is payed. The banks are gonna withhold funds to Obama until they feel assured that he's gonna "play ball" 4 more years. Obama's the one in a position to actually hurt them right now. Romney is "the stick", we all know what the carrot is.

Schumer is a fuqtard.
"But after ABC reported that Senate Democrats would not introduce new federal laws, notorious gun-grabbers Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) broke ranks.
Without national debate or discussion, an extreme gun control amendment was quietly attached to the controversial Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S. 3414) or CIPSA. What does gun control have to do with “cybersecurity”? Nothing, but politicians habitually subvert political processes by attaching unrelated measures to avoid alerting constituents."

Can't say I'm shocked, but I would like to observe it is not smart to mess with Great Britain. Be sure they will pay back in some way.
And Obama has been alienating some long time US partners of late, with stupid moves. One of more ridiculous ones was - publishing picture of him clutching baseball bat while talking on the phone - that said he was talking to Erdogan (that damaged Erdogans image at home and he was not happy). Some Israelis chimed in to say they didn't like publicity pic of Obama talking to their PM, whit his feet on the table showing them soles of his shoes (offense in the Middle East). It may look ridiculus, but things like that are remembered in professional diplomacy. If nothing else it showes that Obama is over-confidant and has advisers of lesser quality. Coupled with the mess in Syria.. uh well.. not a best time to target British bank.
Obummer was sending a clear message with those photos. Clearly he was saying" if you don't play along I'll send somebody in to break your legs" when he had that bat photo taken. I speak softly but I carry a big stick.
Yes, you are right. But just publishing that photo was in fact just the opposite - talking loudly, when in fact Obama has no stick over Erdogan. He can't afford it right now. And I don't mean financially, but becouse of Turkey's role in ME right now. So making empty threats is not very smart. It looks amateurish.
U.S. has some great experts and diplomats and some eminency's of US high policy spoke even publicly criticizing his decisions in Middle East - but he's ignoring them?
The narcissistic emperor Obummer is ignoring them like he has everybody with his policy moves. If you remember he wants to " radically remake America ".
What a mess... Good luck Americans! And good luck to all of us in Europe if ME explodes - and it started to "boil" seriously
One day soon the schumer will hit the fan.
People in power can always find someone to tell them to do what they want to do. In fact it's usually what takes them down. It's just a shame how many times it doesn't take them down enough.
Very interesting observation. Also, per prior TIC reports, Britain has been an unusually large purchaser of US federal debt at some interesting junctures. Perhaps it was data errors, perhaps not. Another reason not to tick them off to much if people want to keep kicking the can a bit longer.
I tend to see parallels to the seizures of estates of well-off, but lesser favored "nobility" by the emperors of Rome when the finances were strained. Who was it that said you rob banks because that's where the money is?
wonder how much is in offshore banks
At least in third world countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, at least politicians openly admit to being bribed. A crooked but honest system. haha
US citizens are duplicitous.
Given the population of China, I'd say y'all have a bigger duplicity problem.

At least China knows how to occupy a country.
You can't even occupy anything properly. From Afghanistan, to the Wall Street.

Hmmmmm?
Never been in the US. But i saw many movies and documentaries. Beautiful. But what i experienced most, i tell you,
It was freedom. Just by looking at my television. I smelled the freedom. The air, the woods, the deserts, the space, the people. I have that feeling for many, many years. Talking to people who were in the USA on vacation or for work. I was never there.
It's a shame your beautiful country and your culture is being ruined by, what's it, i think it's a combination of money and narcism, freaks.
You will get your country back within 5 years. It's not sustainable now. Without going libertarian or whatever, I saw from a distance the freedom and honesty is more than enough to win this battle. It's a shame your freedom has to be fought over and over again.
206 different sorts of serial should make you worry in the future....
Maybe more than treasury yields....
Foreign banks actually lobby in the U.S. they have $2.1 Trillion in assets they obviously just don't know who to pay off as well as the U.S. Banks do...

It's all just a coincidence. Schumer would never do anything questionable. He's a US Senator. Nothing to see here, move along.
Well, he and Jon Corzine are titled "Honorable." It must be so...
Wait - is that the civilian version of "officer and gentleman"
You know Nancy Pelosi is a financial genius. Imagine someone making 150k a year and turning it into 88 million in 10 years. Wow she must be really smart. Nothing to see here, move along.
don't talk about symptoms : bank wars; talk about root causes : Oligarchy control of runaway capitalism machine gone mad now in dire straights. When thieves fall out... there are no limits to madness.
This is when seemingly dominant empires hear the bells chiming and people begin to ask; who does the bell toll for?
Musical chairs are a weird, frightening game on the Titanic; as Greece and Spain and Club Med are finding out; just like Libya and Syria and you know where... the repression noose gets tighter as the control of the juddering wealth machine gets lighter. As the needle moves inexorably to red zone where the system's ability to feed the greed and maintain speed become vain deeds of past glory; receding horizon of another age we called "the american dream".
