HSBC is from one of the largest financial institutions in the world, with over $2.5 trillion in assets, 89 million customers, 300,000 employees with operations in over 80 countries and 2011 profits of nearly $22 billion. Just a few snipits from the Senate Report:
problems included a once massive backlog of over 17,000 alerts identifying possible suspicious activity that had yet to be reviewed
a 3-year failure by HBUS to conduct any AML monitoring of $15 billion in bulk cash transactions
a failure to monitor $60 trillion in annual wire transfer activity
HBMX (Mexico) was the single largest exporter of U.S. dollars to HBUS(US), shipping $7 billion in cash to HBUS over two years (drug money)
HBUS provided nearly $1 billion in U.S. dollars to Al Rajhi Bank despite terrorist financing concerns
HBUS cleared $290 million in bulk U.S. dollar travelers checks, at times clearing $500,000 or more in U.S. dollars per day. The cheques were in denominations of $500 or $1,000, submitted in large blocks of sequentially numbered cheques, and signed and countersigned with the same illegible signature. HSBC partner banks had little information or understanding why up to $500,000 or more in bulk U.S. dollar travelers cheques purchased in Russia were being deposited on a daily basis into one of 30 different Japanese accounts of persons and corporations supposedly in the used car business.
You can't make this stuff up!

Currently on the site
"Bitcoind transfers are temporarily unavailable. Expected resolution within 24 hours, sorry."
I think there are more then a few bitcoin business that would benefit from some professional input in effectively communicating with their clientele.

I'm just pointing out red flags.
All members I have traded with provided some type of verification. ElitePork is the only one who chose not to verify anything. Then ElitePork says he's traded with gensen and gensen can vouch for him. Now in this thread gensen is being accused of scammy behavior.
We need to encourage a vibrant, honest trading community.
Unless proven otherwise it seems ElitePork and gensen are at this time questionable trading partners.

That was actually a pretty well made video. The writing hits on everything conspiracy theorists want to hear, pretty much bringing together a bunch of ideas into one cohesive organization. What I'm more impressed by is the level of attention to the design of the video. Everything works together perfectly to create the atmosphere of secrecy, professionalism, and coherence. The quiet, slow, almost atonal music goes well with the dark but empty set, and the Illumicorp logo looks like a standard company logo while still maintaining some core ideas. The triangular shape shows the distribution of classes in their distinct layers, with the top layer having an orange circle seemingly covered with blinds. The orange reminds me most of a sunrise/sunset with the light coming through a thick atmosphere. Still, the "sun" is covered with black stripes to maintain the idea of being a secret sunrise which only the few at the top of the triangle know about. Clever design.
The best part is definitely the actor. He's an older man in a black suit, looking about the age to be peaking out in his business career as a CEO. He smiles welcomingly when talking about how great the future will be, but then manages to work in a little bit of "evil overlord" smile when he mentions murder as a method of control. He doesn't flinch when bringing up the absurd idea of controlling the weather, instead sounding exactly like a large company's announcement of a new product. His character encapsulates so many of the ideas behind these NWO-Illuminati-ConspiracyStuff ideas.
Compared to most of the other "Here's the real truth" blogs written by one guy nobody knows, with old fashioned hit counters and walls of text that randomly get bolded to show how important these ideas truly are, this video is amazingly well done.
austonst Very well written. You should be a reviewer! Start a more general interest blog and write brief reviews about bitcoin sites/services. Charts/exchanges and other sites etc. Might be helpful for all the n00bs trying to figure out the world of bit coin. I'd read it. Just a thought. We could use some additional pr that isn't so techno-geek centric. |

Nice. Maybe this guy should go to work for Bitcoinica. it's just going to help me get things together im still checking all the amounts of course. I'm serious. While certainly not on the same scale you've handled this pretty well. Now if everyone gets their money back I would hope the admin can post this thread some where as an example of the community working together to collectively deal with these kinds of issue. |

Is their a list I've just not found yet, that lists all the exchanges that happily work in GBP (Local currency in United kingdom) and more ideally have a presence here so not to be screwed on unnecessary bank fees.
I'm only aware of two and while both are well established, don't exactly have an ideal track record to trust them. Does one just accept thats whom I have to deal with? or is their other options?
Which two, what track record. Thx. |
