HSBC gets off...BTCKing doesn't: FEDS DOUBLE STANDARD

Hunter • 4 minutes ago −
(Reuters - Dec 11, 2012) - "HSBC Holdings Plc
agreed to pay a record $1.92 billion in fines to U.S. authorities for
allowing itself to be used to launder a river of drug money flowing out
of Mexico"

(Forbs March 26, 2013) - "Standard Chartered, Britain’s second largest bank, paid $327 million to the Feds in December over alleged illegal transactions with Iran,
Sudan, Libya, and Burma that involved millions of dollars being moved
between 2001 and 2007 illegally through the U.S. financial system on
behalf of Iranian, Sudanese, Libyan and Burmese entities."

The list goes on and on. I hope that these guys have plenty of BTC on hand to payoff the Feds.
