Banks allowed $ laundering for known terror org. & Cartels

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/july-dec12/hsbc_12-11.html
"Even after substantial evidence indicated that senior bank officials ignored over 17,000 internal compliance review notifications and continued to allow the laundering of $60 trillion for known terror organizations (including al-Qaeda and one of the 9/11 hijackers) and Mexican drug cartels, HSBC was let off the hook with a mere $1.9 billion fine and will face no criminal charges.

I know what you're probably thinking: "$1.9 billion is a lot of money," which it is. Unless you're a bank like HSBC, which makes roughly that much in four weeks. Ain't the American justice system grand?"

No criminal charges just fines that are a fraction of what they make.
And then liberals get blasted for defending ppl who want unions or social problems that are a drop in the bucket next to this.
