Baloney. If Wells Fargo laundered money then it committed a crime not allowed under any free trade agreement.

But since you produce little but hysterical hyperbole for any of your claims, I doubt you have any evidence of criminal activity. It is about as truthful as the claim that free trade is behind sex slavery.

Previous to the Monterrey Consensus (which you should have familiarized yourself with by now as a free traitor) American banks weren't doing business in Mexico was mentioned earlier on this thread

Then, via "free trade" agreements, they were allowed have illegals open accounts in the US then access their funds in Mexico, in Wells Fargo and Bank of America branches there.

This of course made it possible to do this:
How a big US bank laundered billions from Mexico's murderous drug gangs
"Wachovia[now Wells Fargo] had my résumé, they knew who I was," says Woods. "But they did not want to know – their attitude was, 'Why are you doing this?' They should have been on my side, because they were compliance people, not commercial people. But really they were commercial people all along. We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. This is the biggest money-laundering scandal of our time.

"These are the proceeds of murder and misery in Mexico, and of drugs sold around the world," he says. "All the law enforcement people wanted to see this come to trial. But no one goes to jail. "What does the settlement do to fight the cartels? Nothing – it doesn't make the job of law enforcement easier and it encourages the cartels and anyone who wants to make money by laundering their blood dollars. Where's the risk? There is none.

What did the fellow say in 1862? "Free trade", drugs trade and secession, all hand in glove, all hand in glove.

It was believed that the foul elements North and South, and the illicit traders of the world beside, could be brought together in the business of free trade and smuggling.
