Yeah, the big banks are dirty, with laundering among their misdeeds—but this article doesn’t in any way back up its larger claims that the banks actually set up the drug trade business.
True enough, but it is an interesting idea that fits in with a narrative of criminality and murder. Prostitution, drug usage, pedophilia at high levels of government all paid for and provided by huge gangs who traffic everything. Any vice, any time and all the bankers and politicians have to do is keep their mouths shut so everybody gets their money.
Lots of incentive to murder those who get out of line, and lots of incentive for future Attorney General Lynch to let HSBC get off, cover things up and shut her mouth. If she is a 'good soldier' she gets a piece of the pie and if she isn't she would meet an unfortunate 'accident'.
