Banksters: HSBC, the Untouchable Titan of Global Finance

  • From the filmmaker behind 'Goldman Sachs: The Bank that Rules the World' comes a compelling new exposé delving into corruption within one of the globe's premier financial institutions - HSBC.
    If HSBC were a sovereign entity, it would rank as the fifth-largest economic power worldwide. Originating during the heyday of the Opium trade to facilitate the British Empire's access to the Chinese market, HSBC has forged an unparalleled network for facilitating the movement of illicit funds across the globe. From engaging in tax evasion to laundering money for criminal syndicates and manipulating currency, this bank has been involved in a spectrum of illicit activities, embodying the epitome of misconduct for a financial institution.
    In 2012, HSBC faced the imminent threat of losing its operating license in the United States due to its involvement in laundering money for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels. Criminal charges were brought forth, and HSBC's top executives were summoned before a Senate committee. However, a pivotal turn of events occurred when George Osborne, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer in the UK, reached out to his American counterpart and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, urging leniency. Osborne argued that severe consequences for HSBC could adversely impact global financial and economic stability. His persuasive letter succeeded, leading to a 2 billion euro fine for HSBC - an amount equivalent to a single month's profits.
    As the epicenter of international finance shifts towards Asia, HSBC finds itself in a strategic position. Functioning as the most Chinese of Western banks and the most European of Chinese banks, HSBC enjoys protection from London and endorsement from Beijing. The question looms large: who would dare challenge it?

    I know it is of no importance here, but that bank stole 400 Euros of my money. I had a German banking account, and tried to get money at an ATM of a HSBC in Mexico. It did give me nothing, showing in the display ¨no USD available¨. Mind you, I put in the amount to retire in MXN.. And of course, the ATM was out of paper, so could not print a receipt. On my next bank statement from Germany, 400 Euros had been deducted from my account. And, having no proof of what happend, I could not reclaim the money.

      Nowadays when I watch similar documentaries or videos, if ever, the first thing I would do is ask myself what is the intent of the producers. The intent is important as this will show where and how a documentary producer will want to skew their message. I don't think a producer will just produce a video or documentary just because there is a scandal involved. When I see NGOs like the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, I stopped watching the video as they are funded by organizations like the US NED. If anyone takes fund from the NED, they are no longer neutral. They will have a spin they want to project. I am not for HSBC but your question is valid. Why only HSBC? I think HSBC is a British bank and if I am not mistaken, this bank was set up to facilitate the opium trade by the British in China. So much for the "stellar" reputation.

If we tried to fight back they could unleash the worlds nukes and hang out in a bunker a mile under a mountain and wait us out while we desperately try and get to them before we succumb to the endless traps they could lay. In the end, we enter the bunker and find … lookalikes, lizard people, robots, … who knows. It doesn’t matter. The mob can’t solve problems like this. That’s how communism took root. The Russians murdered the Romanovs, their Tsar (King), a hard man who tried his best to lead his people to victory but failed. His little girls were torn to bloody little pieces by frightened men with guns, who acted like soulless robots and carried out their heartless decision with cruelty. When you birth a nation in blood like that, you curse your children with the burden of the blood you spilled. For 75 years the Soviets suffered under communism and the Russians still suffer under ex-kgb old guard. Same thing with Haiti. We can’t hate our way to a better world

    This is just conspiracism. The doc tries to tie HSBC into the financial collapse of 2008 but the bank, along with Barclays, ING, Deutsche Bank, the Canadian banks and others, were too responsible to have invested in subprime mortgages. Their profits were USD9 billion that year, which is why they didn't want the UK government to bail them out. Yet the U.S. government chose to go after these foreign banks rather than their own failed banks.

    Nearly all the looting taking place in my Country Nigeria pass through individual and corporate bank accounts.

    I read sometime ago that art of Usury was once frowned on and by many people and communities have angerly suggested that such a practice should be Outlawed.
    These days I don't hear much of the use of such a word. I think it means that too much money is being printed which for most people, that sort of practice seems to devalue the price of the work they have to do in order to house and feed themselves. Of course When the businesses find things are getting too costly to run they regrettably have to cut costs and be more efficient and lay off staff in order to meet their desired profit margins. With so much excessive debts that human society seems creates for itself in both the past and present, I wonder what people have to live for but even now at my old age and I still hope that things might somehow change .

    What's interesting is that it's set up with the conduct of governments in mind from the start. The offshore banking system in the Caymans was set up by UK government after WW2 to facilitate grey area operations with the foreknowledge that this was bound to be misused by criminal interests. BCCI remember them? They were used not only by drug caryels, arms dealers but also had multiple CIA accounts and other nations security agency's. Their collapse was fairly shocking. Leheman Brothers collapse was catastrophic. HSBC collapse would be similarly seismic in addition to the likelihood that the UK and likely China and many other powers utilise the same dark processes themselves. Times haven't changed as much as one might think in international diplomacy since the banks inception. Which was as a tool for international espionage and drug dealing as it happens in this case
