Probably best to avoid usd clearing through the states though - they're the only ones who have tight controls - but they have plenty of shell companies too. My arse. They are just a bigger branch on the same financial tree that screws us all.

But plenty more haven't. After many years working in the City, I have come to the conclusion that the global (not just UK) financial system is seriously, seriously bent. Agreed. I worked for 2 large international banks and I was sickened by the constant drip drip of legal and ethical violations. In both companies their solution when caught was to send all their staff on training courses. I would argue with the trainers why are you telling me to be honest even if I wasn't I am not in a position to make those decisions. In most banks these dodgy dealings are done by senior management which would number in the low thousands world wide so why are you sending 250,000 people on a training course? Bottom line 99% of the people I worked with were decent and honest just earning enough to get by. The crooks were all at the top of the food chain.

I used to work for one of the oldest established merchant banks in the city where the directors were rumoured to do deals that if successful went down to their personal accounts and if unsuccessful went through the bank's books

I hear they are looking at both Benteke and Wickham as both have amassed funds claiming to be professional top strikers at Palace when there is increasingly little evidence to support these claims.

They were giving the cream (low risk high reward) to the select few and the mugs got stuck with the high risk business even though they were all supposed to be in the same syndicate. I will not say the name but a certain much loved Chelsea supporter who unexpectedly died had a lot of questions which he wasn't around to answer about the syndicate he ran. However most of the incidents in the bank weren't personal corruption as such but bending the rules. So dealers were fixing FX rates or interest rates because they were competitive and wanted to be top dog. Of course their bonus was driven by their success so that just fuelled the risk taking.

If that were for most Cryrst then western civilization would never have emerged and implemented democracy and have regulation as it is. There is always corruption but we are improved upon the far more corrupt systems that we see in other areas outside of the anglosphere and Europe. That reliability and legal responsibility is part of the reason that these fecking rich foreign criminals actually want to invest here. Having said that, I'm well aware that the finance sector gets away with blue murder. We didn't deal with the crimes that created the 2008 crash and if anything we are just rolling the same dice and supporting the same system with cosmetic changes.

A tiny amount would get to a position to do it big style like that 1% I think the 2008 crash wasnt just us it was global.
