What else is new and surprising?
The execs of the top companies have been fleecing the shareholders for decades now. Nothing new here.
I suppose one can consol themselves that at least HSBC was dealing in cash and not made up investments called derivatives.

Time to refresh the tree of liberty. SOX is a damp squib until they start locking people up.

An insider from the set told us, “It’s definitely Bond’s toughest test yet – he’s thwarted at every turn by morally bankrupt behaviour that on the surface is completely legal.”
“Though I have to say that it’s one of cinema’s most satisfying moments when he smashes the banker’s face into a dirty toilet.”
