"The fines were nothing compared to the money they made"
How surprising.
Its an actual business strategy. All banks do it.
Just a cost of doing business. As long as it's profitable it's a good business.
@@MonguzTea It is so pathetic. Why can't we just fix our laws to make it so that the fines are like 15% more than the profit gained by fraud to disincentives it?
@@samuelcohen6545 The Laws are made by Banks... They Sit on both sides of Table
@@samuelcohen6545 Because the same people also control mainstream media and mainstream has us panicking every 5 seconds to something or other. Feaful people are easier to control.
As a kid, you grow up thinking all these companies and people that run them, that dress and speak eloquently on tv, were the responsible individuals that earned their spots. But then you grow up and realize just how fucked up this world is. Now it's hard to take anyone seriously...
Yeah, you are right. I started reading news about politics recently. So, my opinion now is most politicians are dumb or at least not smart at all.
@@brucelee1048 It is well known that "good" politians try to do good but at the end they are mengeld into the system.
@@brucelee1048 QUEEN THIEF
35% of people are still good, according to the movie " Experimenter".
@@fairfeatherfiend 35% honestly feels like it'd be a good bet. I can totally see taking 100 randoms and MOST of the time at least 35 of them are truly logical, empathetic and not low-key morally bankrupt...
My family banked at Wells Fargo in the 90’s and we all noticed that at random times our accounts would just have an extra two or three thousand dollars. It would disappear and never show up in the bank statements. I have no idea what was going on but my dad waited until the extra money showed up on an ATM receipt. He went into the lobby and closed his accounts and walked away with an extra $4,100! That was about a months wages for him at the time. Nobody from the bank ever called or mentioned the extra money.
🤣
These days they will come after you.
@@dapple33 In this case it would have cost them more in legal fees to recoup.
I was one if the victims of the, Wells Fargo multiple accounts scandal. The class action lawsuit paid me, 85 bucks lmao. There were so Many victims that even with the MASSIVE lawsuit settlement, only 85 bucks came my way ha
@@nexpro6118 We know the world is corrupt and broken because in cases like yours penalties should be nothing short of fining the bank right out of business. Nothing else is acceptable.
My mom told me back in the late 90s' ; "It's easier to steal $1 from a million people than it is to steal $1 million dollars from 1 person.."
"The fines were nothing compared to what they made" - At that point it's effectively just another tax on doing "business".
All by design.
Pretty sure fines are costed by most big corporations when the profits are worth the risk.
@@Jtzkb Bit extreme isn't it. Simply changing fines to be 50% of all profit should be more than enough.
@@Jtzkb Nah man, it's the system we have to destroy, not the people. They only operate this way because the SYSTEM allows them to do so.
focus on the cause of the evil. not the product of it
@@Jtzkb Eat the banks! Eat the Banks!
When you steal 1000$, but the police only want 10$ back.
It's like the mafia paying the police a share for looking the other way but on a much larger scale.
More like police wants 1$
😂🤣😂
Because they also get $100 behind the scenes.
it's called a bribe
Years ago I got a loan from Barclays bank (around £2000) and after filling the forms out the bank staff adviced me to get insurance for the loan. She told me that if I didn't get insurance and I couldn't pay back the loan the bank would force my family (parents and siblings) to be held liable for it. Bearing in mind I had been with Barclays over 15 years and I never took a loan before and I'd always worked. I'm an electrician in England. Years later Banks(including Barclays) were found guilty by the UK government of force selling insurance to people.
There's a reason that banks and other financial institutions only ever see fines and never jail time to the people at the top. The fines barely count as a punishment.
It's because they write the laws through lobbying man and they have made a two tiered justice system so white collar crime doesn't have really any punishment. Personally think exec and CEO should get life for fraud or death sentence depending on how bad.
@@firesideshats Stop looking for someone to blame.
Don't let people get away with shit. But get back at them by being smarter. Not spiteful.
It’s just a cost of doing business. If I could make $100 by paying a $10 fine each time, why would I stop? Sounds like a good deal to me
@@taramaforhaikido7272 how do you propose we do that?
Right, and no one should be feeding into this usurious monetary system.
Don't pay your debts to the banks, if they come to take your stuff make sure you're armed. Use alternative currencies like Monero and local mutual credit/LETS. Once we go back to a sane world, we can sue them for everything they got.
As someone from Iceland, don't ever trust your bank, and never ever, absolutely never trust anything someone who works for the bank tells you.
that is my approach, I never trusted them.
Anyone who has watched 'Inside Job' knows what these banks did to Iceland. Imagine ruining a country's economic system for your personal benefit.
The only contry in the world doing the right thing after the krash.
Just a shame you fell for the CV scam and got most vaxinated
They are not your banker....they are the banks banker....thsts why their job title has the word BANK in it 😂😂😂
Don't trust the person selling you anything, that usually goes a long way.
An example would be when I saw a tablet being sold without the seal and suffice to say it was broken. The same store had a vendor say the Xbox 360 was the same as the Xbox One.
When you have money, you can get away with a lot.
Yep to an extent
Indeed, there is such thing as being above the law, if you have enough money.
Just ask bill gates
When you create money, you can get away with anything.
When your buddies work at the white house, making money is that easy
I'm from Iceland.
Lost everything when I was a kid. I wouldn't trust any bank for any reason. The only difference between the people in charge of the banks and criminals on the street is that the banks are untouchable and you won't find proper justice if they screw you over.
Not if the government has anything to say about it
Today is my first day coming across Coldfusion but it's addicting. These videos are so insane and to see the details of the companies, banks, scanners etc and how unethical and deceitful they are is just like WOW
Yeah I discovered it a few months back & I think its interesting & easier to understand than some channels.
When you control all the money, you can do whatever you want.
"Justice will be served over time..." That's the most hopelessly optimistic thing I heard all year. Still if I'm wrong, that will be great!
Dam that's how our legal system is based on 😭🤔
😢
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Just look at the Sacklers. The entire public knows what they did with OxyContin, yet they got off with no jail time and no meaningful loss of the wealth they built by ruining the lives of millions of people.
Justice... there's a reason she's blindfolded.
@@TheGbelcher It's the Just Us system.
Sometimes I feel that the entire world economy is built on the idea of infinitely delaying the payment of bills.
in the end the combined time everyone have is finite. So in reality it's a wealth or time distribution of everyones time to a few benefitters.
Absolutely. Look at climate change.
were living on borrowed time.
Go look at a $1 bill, it is used for nothing but debt so yes your 100% correct. Money is nothing but a note that says it is literally worth nothing but debt and best part is when money is "issued" or created there is always interest. If we paid back our debt with every dollar in existence, we would be no where near paying it off, because of interest.
@@AcidBombYT money is a valuable thing because we believe in it. its an piece of paper that is in definition an i owe u. u burn it u go to jail
Sad that WF wasn't shut down after the first one. Anyone I know that has had accounts with them (including myself at one time) has had some problems with them. They screwed my parents out of their house by cashing mortgage payments and then claiming they never received them. Did that for over two years and my parents ended up losing their house because they couldn't get anyone to help them fight WF in court over it.
Our epoch has come to an end after reaching its pinnacle. The recession and stock market crashes are affecting everything, not just FTX and 401Ks. My retirement equities portfolio, at $750K, is in the red. I'm constantly losing due to inflation. This world will crumble under its dictatorial rulers, just as Rome did. If you are thinking about retiring but are worried that your pension won't cover the rising cost of living, I apologize. Around the world, there are poor regulatory, economic, and energy policies as well as terrible foreign policies.
I believe it's particularly challenging for those who have retired or are going to retire. Please accept my sincere apologies to anyone who retired during this time and lost everything as a result of an issue you weren't to responsible for, despite putting in all those years of work.
Review your portfolio with a professional and don't make the same mistakes again. Diversify, as in your 401K, your stock portfolio, and hopefully REIts and Real Estate holdings. The key to building wealth is long term. I learned 30 years ago that you have to keep emotions (rookie) out of your investment decisions at all cost
Very true! I've been able to scale from $350K to $650K this red season because my Investment Advisor figured out Defensive strategies to protect my portfolio and profit from this roller coaster market.
I've saved myself the bother that comes with a chaotic market. I can't handle my account because of my line of work, so I just copy Johanna Mussche's transactions, an investment advisor I observed on Bloomberg Business News. The best way to enter the market today is to do your homework, read up on it, take your time, and, if necessary, seek counsel. Everything then went without a hitch.
This is great thanks. Could use the suggestion a lot. Looked up Johanna Mussche, I wrote her explaining my financial objectives.
What's amazing is that they probably got away with way worse nobody knows about
@@user-dw1zb3fh5n have a source on this to learn morep
@@user-dw1zb3fh5n I have nothing on that, but having a look at stock and forex charts, they drop and raise prices just right to mitigate previous crises, i.e controlled damage.
Ever heard of naked shorting? Wes Christian estimates that $100 trillion dollars has been taken by financial institutions over the last 20 years using this method. You've never heard of it because even the DTCC is in on it, and the SEC won't talk or do anything about it. It's kinda funny, but if you go to Gary Gensler's(the current head of the SEC) twitter he is always bombarded with questions about naked shorting XD. Never adresses it though.
@@haraldbryn8319 naked shorting was publicly realized when this Mac and game shit went down. Now investors are saying all the time NaKeD sHoRtInG when there risky investment goes down
@@yfiebach6348 When was it publically realized? What have the SEC done about the issue? If you have a source, I'd really like to know.
When the bank pays a fine for fraud I assume that money doesn't go to the people who were actually defrauded. Does anyone know what happens to that money?
Yeah, the govt keeps it for their own use. Probably impossible to track down there it exactly went, but it did not go to anything useful.
Sometimes the courts earmark a portion of the settlement to help those who have been harmed. The state of Virginia diverted 2 such awards that I know of to totally different uses.
These are not criminal cases, so every single person must file their own civil case against them, or create a class action suit
Right back into their pockets through bailouts.

To be fair, he may be referencing the financially settled gold and silver futures and not the physically deliverable gold and silver futures.
I understand that he said "take physical delivery", but I am not sure if he realizes there are 2 different contract types.
The financially settled one will clearly deviate, like most products that claim to track 1 to 1 with an underlying asset that are not directly backed by that asset 1 to 1.
In one day no less!
this is retarded argument. trade volume can and often does exceed total supplly.
This has been the case with gold ever since the Dutch invented fractional reserve banking in the 1500s. Outside of brief periods in time when gold rushes made the gold standard real, there has never been enough gold to settle contracts for gold since
It’s gotten to the point where you just need to jail them, and take everything from them. Houses, cars, 401k, portfolios… everything. If we can jail people for multiple life sentences for murder, we should be able to do the same for huge financial crimes that will impoverish and drive innocent people to suicide.
Great video, I really like these new videos you're coming out with, since these stuff are things every concerned citizen should know. "They were were caught doing fraud and fined hundreds of millions of dollars. That's just the cost of doing business." Great line there, really sums up the limitless greed these people have
As a former Personal Banker to one of the banks mentioned here back in 2012-14, I can tell you without a doubt that branch managers were the worst ones at pushing the boundaries of what's legal when it comes to opening accounts, your salary, employment, and how you we're treated were tied up to those performance numbers, but let's be honest here all sales positions are judged by your numbers but even tellers were pushed to open credit cards, accounts, it wasn't just the bankers lol. You were graded all the time and we had a lot of people quit because of the aggressive management style, and the branch managers got more heat from their superiors, the entire thing came from the top as far as committing fraud, If you disagree then you we're let go because of performance... unless you quit which is what I ended up doing because it wasn't right.
What is a personal banker exactly?
Yeah, I reported it all to DOL, SEC, and eve FBI in detail in 2011. Even gave them the actual emails we lowest level workers got from the 20 layers of management showing how it was completely top-down and the employees had no choice. They simply called local cops, made up a threat, and had me hauled from my house to jail. Meet me in the SWAT car on this 3wcom: GoodShipGinsburg .or. RisePatriot
Does the bank actually profit from net/un/realized losses? Say, for example, you take a net loss & average down on a stock... The moment you make the loss real, does the bank get the profit? Sorry to be slighly off topic, but it's hard to get a legit answer for this.
@@jeffshackleford3152 glorified sales man
ridiculous honestly. it frightens me how when businesses can turn so unbelievably evil when they get bigger. don't get me wrong, I seen plenty of shady shit from smaller companies (especially from owners who thought they were the shit while only making salaries of corpo junior managers pretending to be Bill gates) but when companies become public there comes a sense of anonymity and hiding behind a mask/role you fill in that company with the ONLY purpose of any company becoming profit maximisation. NOT the manufacture or provision of goods or services at the highest standard. I think this is a problem of anglo-saxon culture in general in the US, UK etc.

Big props for the whistleblowr banker, it seems not all of the wall streets are "banksters" hiding in a shell of a "banker" supposed and expected to work in the boundaries of law. I'm afraid that he's "burnt" on wall street, by which i mean the chance of getting a job in any of the companies who're hiring people to do their dirty biddings. Luckly it's not over completely, even if he can't find a job there i bet that he could find some investors willing to trust him their money, so he could not only continue trading on stock market but also "show a middle finger" to the crooked banks which are surely going to make his job looking there a real hell.
Back to the point, great job mate for reporting this type of scumbaggery to the authorities, i just wish that the initial outcome (rejection of accusations) would went better, but this just is now a perfect and solid argument for insinuating collusion between banks and federal financial institutions. My entire comment is only valid if your math on the job and research is 100% solid. I think it should be because otherwise you wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself if the conclusion was somehow not correct, but i don't see any reason that you'd risk your carrer and image with a made up story.
I'll keep my thumbs up for you and your whistleblower case success since this type of almost systemic unjustice towards normal, typical people by some money hungry banksters.

We, in India, have few banks that have been doing a lot of unethical practices, and since decades, these have resulted in major 'scams', that are well documented, but still these banks thrive and are supposed to be the most reliable options.
This seems to happen every time a new financial product is approved. The financial institution create them to have one goal - for them to make money. The modern way to do that in our current regulatory framework is to create a new financial product that is so complex that the regulators and investors can't find the secret until the banks have made their money while they are protected because it was an "approved" product - and hence the fraud was "legal". This feels a lot like a casino that creates flashy games that look attractive but where the house always wins.
True wisdom is always found in the comments section.
Managers create wealth, laborers generate wealth
I agree It very much seems to me that most of these "financial products" are are nothing but glorified gambling. The whole financial industry is unecessarily overgrown, a lot of time, energy and brainpower is wasted on these "games". Imagine we would do something actually useful with all those money and knowledge wasted on speculation and financial manouvering, which amounts to nothing more than basically gambling.
Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.

Man i love your videos, it's great to see your keep doing it. Your made a lot of progress. I love watching your reports and exquisite editing. Keep it up
It's ridiculous that none of these corporations get punished, it feels freaking hopeless.
Is there any update on this?
How punished? By way of fines paid to the gov (BTW, which is in debt to the banks or other countries) or holding an individual(s) responsible and people serve pri-son time? The corporation will pass the cost to the consumer so the average public pays for their fraud no matter what. How much debt does the public/businesses owe to these banks? I am supposing a lot more with much higher inflation.
You should add context to the libor scandal. If Libor was not rigged the banks in the US would never have been too big to fail. It allowed the cover-up and overvaluation of banks that also commited massive mortgage fraud. 2008 would have been tiny if not for the libor scandal. It allowed banks to cook their own books
No more LIBOR in about 4 month from now (except USD).

1) DON'T short sell an ETN simply because it is guaranteed to go down in the long term. If you short the ** out of it like the guy mentioned, you WILL GET WIPED OUT during a spike, which happens every once in a while. Leveraged ETNs like TVIX are notorious for wiping out short sellers.
2) Future contracts trading hundreds of times the volume of the underlying commodity is perfectly normal. "If everybody demanded delivery" situation applies without using future contracts too, when everybody goes to the spot market and buys that much physical gold right now. Instead, they just speculate on the price using those contracts. So having future contracts doesn't actually change the dynamics.

The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One
Doesn't help that much of modern society has been fooled for decades in the guise of bullshit dogma, meaningless jingles like "free markets" or "deregulation" or "cut the red tape".
Firstly, free market is as meaningless as saying go north of the north pole.
Markets are neither free nor not free. Markets are the exchange of things upon agreed rules.
All the mantra of free markets and deregulation and cut the red tape means is
1) Free markets: give up our participation in the making of the agreed upon rules.
2) Deregulation: give up your participation in the planning economic activity that would most benefit you and your fellow citizens.
3) Cut the red tape: Don't verify that we're fucking you in the ass after you've given up what little power in democracy you had.
People bought into those narratives. From fat fuck Rush now bloated corpse of probably reeking to the consistency of Limburger cheese Limbaugh.
And other dogma promoters of the robber baron elites like the phony Milton Friedman who tainted his bullshit article that won him the In memory of Alfred Nobel Prize in Economics.
To the rantings of a lunatic Ayn Rand.
They ate up the bullshit with mouth gaping.
And now complain the filth in their mouth is making them sick.
Propaganda is a horrible thing. If only people kept themselves skeptical and always learning. Perhaps such dogmas wouldn't fester and putrefy.
Now the same actors of the elites are again using time tested since antiquity of race, religion, and immigration to pit the masses against each other.

That simplified example of leveraged and inverse ETNs does include a possibility (albeit an unlikely one) where the house would lose money: If the first two tosses were heads or the first two were tails, then after the second toss, one player would have $2250, the other would have $250, and the house would have -$500. Similarly, if the first five tosses have four heads and one tail, or four tails and one head, then one player would have $2531.25, the other would have $93.75, and the house would have -$625 (five heads or five tails in a row would be worse for the house, with $7593.75 for one player, $31.25 for the other, and the house at -$5625).
With that said, as the number of coin-tosses approaches infinity, the proportion of patterns that result in a loss for the house approaches 0, and this is ultimately because 1.5*0.5
They don't go into why or how easy it is to see or that basic diligence would show the behavior. Seems to be excited over the mundane.

There's a reason old timers distrusted the lovers of usury and their buildings.
This is why banks invested so much on social engineering and brainwashing society into thinking "your money belongs at the bank".

Lolno.
Invest in real estate, find government-approved scams to apply, and only purchase assets instead of liabilities.

That's certainly one way to look at it, although I'd be careful with flying those flags so soon into the investigation. I'd say its more likely they look at these cases the same way as they initially looked at Bernie Madoff until his Ponzi scheme fell apart. Initially nobody wanted to believe that Bernie was committing vast frauds. Not even when a guy singlehandedly uncovered it and attempted to get it stopped. It is not uncommon for the financial world to doubt whistleblowers as is evident in every single fraud or pyramid scheme ever exposed. The amount of trust required to make the financial sector run smoothly is probably the core reason as to why so many executives really don't want to believe a whistleblower as such an exposure also speaks volumes of their own abilities in placing trusts in specific individuals and institutions, which over time easily can lead to paranoia, which also damages the economy.

The Banks & Hedgies OWN the SEC, DOJ, FBI, and Mainstream Media. Endless Money = Endless Power.
Love this comment… I think you’re spot on
@@inverse2 yes they do… I have some great info to share… I’m the mean time look up Sean McKessy…
It is truly astounding to me that these banks have grown so large, powerful, and beyond the control of any regulators and international governments. Even if they could be handed substantial penalties for their parasitic and dangerous actions, the ripple effects of such massive banks being truly taken to task would financially ruin normal people the world over.
Too big to fail
The power of standing of others back.
Regulators are there to make the masses feel comfortable, not to do anything about it.
The best way to handle markets is to become educated yourself.

Well then government can bail out people. Not banks.
Most people venture into investments to be a millionaire meanwhile I just want to be debt Free
Just do the right thing by trading with an expert trust me you will be successful and debt free

Starting early is the best way to getting ahead of build wealth, investing remains the priority
Obviously trading in bitcoin is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most traders trade with a company
Now is the best time to purchase and invest in Bitcoin stop proscastinating!
It's so sad to say...with all those who are whistleblowering...the amount of need for greed by the financial system and banks will shift from one practice to another...greed has no moral obligation but to themselves
"The very same financial institutions who we trust with our money ..."
I don't trust them at all. I just don't have a choice but to deal with them.
Choose blockchain tech and you can opt out of their system.
But Blockchain is also an system that works like everybody puts some money in one pod and who gets faster the money out wins some money. And the other will loose in the end.

7:27 "The fines offered were nothing compared to the money that they made"
This right here is the most concerning fraud in my opinion.
Furthering moral hazard in our financial systems even more as powerful institutions know they face no real consequences for their actions
The politicians in both parties and media on both sides work on behalf of those institutions. They will never have real accountability. The system is designed this way intentionally. They are so successful at this, they were even able to convince some of the poorest Americans to vote for a multi-billionaire who is best friends with all of these bankers, and have them believe he was all about the "little guy."
Same thing happens in biotech, health insurance, or all insurance, and actually basically almost all businesses. As long as fines are less than profits, why should execs care abt breaking the law?
Such a good video. I thought I knew about the financial collapse pretty well and still learned a bunch

Where on the contracts of the ETN and ETF are the little devils on the details, that people didn't read? Why nobody read contracts, or the issuers are so shady than omit on purpouse mentioning what are the traps on this OTC contracts or products
Intrigued to watch this episode, however, an episode on HSBC laundering money on behalf of the Mexican drug cartels would be amazing Mr Coldfusion. 🙏
Maybe that's why the HSBC ATMs are the easiest to use in Mexico while on vacation?
There is an episode specifically about that on the Netflix documentary series "Dirty Money". It is Season 1, Episode 4. Titled: "Cartel Bank".

Banks always create new debt to sell to the public,I really wonder who creates inflation.
Sounds just like Goldmansachs mortgage scam during the housing crash.
Very well done. Thank you for sharing this, lord knows google won't!
I love the cold fusion channel and its content.
Alternative title for this episode:
WHEN BANKS BECOME THE CASINO
*The Golden Rule*
He who has the gold makes the rules
He also needs some knowledge, but in general, yes.
reverse of that, who makes the rule, left gold next to nothing for others
@@electronresonator8882 That's not a reverse, that's a double negative.
I've done ETN Market Making for Nordea (Finnish Investment Bank). I don't know about the institutions mentioned here but at Nordea structured products are hedged, so the profit is the spread, fee and interest. No profit is made on directional moves (that would be stupid, considering some minifutures extend up to 50x leverage to the counterparty)
Future contract of gold do not necessarily give you rights to own a piece of gold, in fact, most don't. Rather, it is a contract between you and your issuer, that this piece of contract is worth as much as a piece of gold.
This let traders trade and speculate gold without physically owning a piece of gold. Therefore, value of a future contract of gold do not lay in the fact that it can be exchange with a gold, but that it can be traded as much as a piece of gold. So it is a misconception that everyone is going to rush to the bank with the piece of contract to get their gold out. If traders dump their gold contract, what happen is the price of gold goes down, not that we ran out of gold.
The more I learn about finance and banking, especially investment banking, the more it looks like gambling with additional steps and middlemen.
No regulator will ever admit that they have failed in their task, because then they will face pressure from the government, and possible dismissal.
some products do have economic value. Some futures are used as hedging on unwanted volatility, like fuel for airlines
and that's why cryptoassets are the most important invention since the internet. 'cuz you can cut out the middleman.
@@nonchablunt they are also without any economic value whatsoever. They solve nothing good.
That is true by the way
@@waiguoren IMHO ever since QE went into maximum overdrive, regular securities have had roughly similar credibility as cryptos when it comes to valuation and economic utility. It's all paper growth, with the downside that our pensions rely on it.
I've been watching your channel since the beginning (about 7 years I think - yeah, when the T in the name was present).
You've always had quality content, but the production has improved so much over these last few years!
You have to update this episode with the latest fine the CFPB levied against Wells-Fargo last month. Thanks for the content!
As a kid, you grow up thinking all of these companies and people that runs them, that dress and speaking eloquently on tv were serious, responsible individual that earned their spots. But then you grow up ad realize just how fucked up this world is. Now it's hard to take anyone seriously...
Dagogo's content goes from strength to strength. Love this channel.
The quality of these videos is ever increasing. Continue the excellent work!
Your the man Dagogo. Best documentaries on the planet. Keep up the good work.
Very compelling content, thank you
These fraud investigation videos are the best. Thank you for this amazing content!
Words truly cannot express the gratitude for such people like you in exposing such fraud. Always informative, insightful, and inspirational! Much love and respect brotha!
Another excellent content from ColdFusion!
5 stars, GREAT channel! Subscribed!
They have floors of lawyers to gauge the fine to ensure it’s within the threshold of the risks they took
As the old adage goes for those who want to make money illegally: "If there a will, there's a way"
that's not really an adage - there's little truth in it. It's just that if you don't try, you will most likely never succeed. But I can want 1+1 to be 3 all day. There is now way. Similarly, we can't all be rich. Even if we are willing to be wealthy. I never liked the proverb, it's empty and just there to give hope to failures. Some people need that. But most people need some realism...
maybe I use adage a bit strictly. Still, I think it's a crappy proverb nonetheless xD
15:18 This graph does an excellent job of showing how simple gambling works, the house takes no risk at all so it always comes out ahead.
Love your videos! Great works!
U should definitely make a video about India's $23 billion 2g Scam
OOOooooooOOO this looks like its gonna be a good one! Love the fraud investigation episodes
As always brilliant work, and by that I mean it.
Nice presentation. Really eye opening. The reoccurring problem is the crime is way more profitable than any fine given. Nobody of any authority at these huge institutions is ever held criminally or personally liable for allowing the fraud to take place. They never will. The regulatory agencies give out huge fines and everybody is happy. Guess what if someone told me I was going to lose 1000.00 to make a 1,000,000.00 I think i would be fine with that.
Thank you for the awesome video.
The regulators are a part of the problem and not the solution. I'm afraid the entire system is totally rotten.
@Cheryl Jensen I totally agree with you.
well done ColdFusion, this is what real journalism USED to be all about, before it was bought up and silenced by corporate criminals
A lesson i've learned in my 80 years on this planet, above a certain level in society, trust no one that is above that level.
These videos made me cry.. 😔
Should've broken up the banks in '08 and reinstated Glass -Steagal!!

Why break them up at all? They should have just let them all fail, along with automakers and all the other big corporations that got insane amounts of welfare.
@Sherri T[A]P Me!! To Have [S]EX With Me That's exactly what is happening. They just keep kicking the can down the road as long as they have a good story they can sell the mindless citizens to justify it.
Is there an audit trail of where these “fines” go? From when and how it’s paid to where it all ends up would be very interesting.
That was good. I didn't know that was going on. Thank you
This is one of the best channel on TH-cam 👍.
God damn this is so enraging I'm almost crying. How in the hell is this even possible. Thanks for shedding light on these nauseating practices
Capitalism. If u got enough money you can get away with everything
Most of the Banking is just a way to take money off the working class and give it to the wealthy and they will constantly invent new ways to defraud the working people of the world. Instead of waiting and asking the Government nicely to step in and hold them to account (and give them a fine of less than 1% of what they made), we should start hanging them in front of Wall Street.
These people are leeches on society and it's time to remove them.
If you think this is bad wait until you see the sht that they pulled which caused '08 crisis, watch the documentary "Inside job" it'll give you an excellent insight into how fuked up the system really is
@@sympathiser_of_Germans_in_40s Yeah. What was it again? I recall: banks? gave mortgages to people eg with no job, then all these bad mortgages got mixed in with good mortgages, then the credit rating agencies gave everything a triple A rating so that the debt could be sold as "AAA super reliable" & every1 got bonuses. So a huge mountain of toxic mortgages built up; then every1 realised the economy was a FING house of cards so the economy melted; many went bankrupt & had to sell their homes. Then the rich bought many houses cheaply
@Olivier Wells what was antisemitic?
Thank you for covering this topic. This is absolutely the largest unmonitored and unregulated gambling industry in the world, and this is coming from someone who has worked in finance before. I want more of this, Cold Fusion man! 👍🏻👍🏻🌈🌈💯💯
This may seem like a dumb question? When these banks, corps, ceo's are "Fined" millions, Where does that $ go? Who benifits? What's the point? The information in these videos is awesome great job. Thank you for your time, effort & generosity sharing this valuable gift to society.
You need to wake up. The Matrix movie wasn't about being asleep in some virtual reality machine, it was about how everyone is asleep and goes along with everything the system does and never question it.
@@futavadumnezo No Shit my friend. The matrix is a "movie" it is entertaining but it isn't fuckin real pal we dont live in a simulation we live in a hijacked reality! I was merely pointing out that any money in fines disappears
it goes to either tbe agency fining them or the general fund
@@cdreid9999 That is the text book answer. What do they do with the millions/billions they receive? It surely doesn't benefit the people that are paying their salaries (agencies)or that have been victims of criminal or irresponsible acts? Whose General Fund? Really? C'mon! The question asked was intended for others to think🤔 I know exactly wtf goes on. Thanks for your time though.
My professor at university wrote his thesis on the theory of TVIX - everything in this video does check out. It leverages some pretty advanced financial interest theory to naturally decay the value toward 0 over time. It can (could) be used to speculative buy in the short-term to buy on fear spikes, but otherwise this was just a theoretical cash cow for any institution selling it.
