Standard Chartered, one of the UK’s largest banks, avoided prosecution by the US Department of Justice after Lord Cameron’s government intervened on its behalf in 2012.

At the end of the article comes:

But the whistleblowers claim the US authorities have perpetrated “a colossal fraud on this court by falsely denying” that the whistleblowers provided “previously unknown, damning evidence”.

The wrong message for whistleblowers in the future.

One thing you must have at the back of your mind as someone who follows up on such a case or even as a whistleblower is that justice won't always prevail in all cases; there are times where the information, however valid it might appear to be, will be void because they believe that there is something to protect by letting go of such a case.

Once you read that article it shows that they just overlooked the data.

It is obvious that some higher power were in play with the decision. In the article, all it says is that someone very important intervened thus they were able to escape prosecution.

It happens that important people are given the power to manipulate and bend the rules even if it was of the law's. Now there really is no way of us knowing if they were some manipulation I did not bother to check as this has occurred a decade ago already but it is just a fact that in justice sometimes it is not fair.

Welp. Rich people buying their way out of jail, plus why are the banks getting persecuted when the same happened with SVB and they didn't arrest no one? They literally even helped the bank get back up and assume control of the micro-business industry with what should've been the end of a higher power, and the onset of a crash that we so the poor and average people on this planet desperately needed. Plus I read the article and as what someone on here have said, they misrepresented the data, all the more reasons to call this "prosecution" kaput.

Or I could be wrong, maybe these guys do need to be put behind bars, I don't know anymore man lol.

Better it'd be if the whistleblower gets his premium.
That gives people more drive into whistle-blowing, which is exactly what is needed to keep companies, governments in line.
