    Maybe something that's less likely to bring the country to its knees for 5 straight years (with no end in sight) would be a start.

    I for one don't think it's wise to have all the UK's eggs in the finance basket.

    This is a concerted smoke screen by the US. Just take a look for another US bank or ten up to no good in the background... S & C have still been flipping silly and will be lucky to avoid jail time but then there is something else going on further away from them...

    Is this a concerted effort to try to take the global finance industry back?

    Or are London based banks able to mess things up without assistance?

    A bunch of crooks thought they were too clever to get caught, but they were wrong.

    Happens all the time. No need for conspiracy theories. Just more examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

    The organisation doing the attacking was only formed a year ago, has only really become "operational" in the last 3 months or so.

    NYSDFS: History

    What they fail to add, is that nearly all the ruddy banks (in the USA) are doing the same thing and have been for years.

    Yet another scandal, though no one truely believed that banks weren't making money in "enemy "countries anyway, did they?

    Probably. They have been doing it every now and again for years.

    Remember Lloyds of London going bust? I didn't realise it at the time, but they had severely p*ssed off the Yanks several years before.
