Most of the world is very corrupt indeed.For example...I've read that accusations have been made against WalMart in Mexico.although I've never set foot in Mexico *everything* I've read and heard indicates it's a filthy,Fourth World utterly corrupt cesspool.So if WalMart thinks there's money to be made there they'd better pay somebody off or else somebody else will.

On the scale of loss the company said, “We believe that it is probable that we will incur a loss from these matters.

Nothing to worry about, they'll just pass the bill on to the customers.

Just wondering.....do gringos hang around Mexican WalMarts looking for day labor work?

File this under selective BS enforcement.

The criminal SEC just gave a pass to UBS Financial for defrauding counterparts. Under law, UBS should have been barred from managing client’s money after the Japanese UBS unit pleaded guilty of manipulating the benchmark interest rate. UBS should have been barred from managing mutual funds and funds of funds for 10 years, according to the law.

SEC said, WTF, that’s okey-dokey. UBS paid $600 million in fines and now everything is fine. Cheap price for UBS to pay for breaking the law and allowed to continue the management of $78 billion in cash and bonds.

We are truly living under friggin’ crony fascism.
