Between 2004 and 2010, HSBC laundered Billions of Dollars for the Mexican Drug cartels and nobody blinked an eye. After
7 years of doing this, they got busted and they paid US$1.9bn in fines. {This could be recovered in profits, within a few
weeks} Most people saw this as a slap on the wrist for the people who were involved with this. Not one person working for the
Bank got jail time for doing this.
https://observer.news/featured/5-years-ago-hsbc-fined-record-us1-9bn/Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for creating and running Silk Road, which allegedly facilitated
the sale of $250 million worth of drugs.
Why are we seeing such double standards, when Bitcoin is involved?
I believe that case of Ross Ulbricht is very difficult. For me it is very sad to read about him and the double standards. And moreover that no one is looking at the drug problem in essence. It will never disappear if people around the globe will stop playing the game of cat and mouse.
Although i think we have to live healthy, I believe that he never promoted the sell of drugs, in some ways he made it better and safer.
Back to the topic , i think that they got only slap on the wrist because they are fucking rich and powerful, Ross Ulbricht never had such vast amounts of money, thats why they got way with it.
