the Banks like HSBC and WELLS that think fines for bad behavior are just a cost of doing business ,and as long a a profits from that behavior exceed the Fines ..why do anything about it ?
HongKong Shanghi Bank (HSBC) got its start when TEA imports caused a Hugh deficit in Britain’s accounts with China and they didnt have any exports to China ..so they exported OPIUM and created the Famed OPIUM dens of China that brought MAO to power when he promised to clean them out ! So he executed 30 million opium users and “FIXED” the problem….With a BANK that has this history be deterred by a simple FINE for bad Behavior ?
