Widening Russia Money Laundering Scandal Hits European Banks

[el kaka22]

It would be stupid to think all these banks that could benefit from these type of money laundering schemes in millions (even billions) would decline the chance for it. I mean I am not going to lie if I was offered that much money to launder and I knew how to than I would have done the same as well.

These are not small amounts we are talking about, these are the type of money that would make a small time bank into a world global power, swedbank is big and all but its nowhere near banks like BAC or Deutsche and if they are doing that as well than swedbank has to follow in order to not be swallowed whole by the bigger banks. I would say its unfortunate that this is happening but I also kind of understand why it is happening at the same time as well, makes total sense why they would agree to do it.

I can only imagine how excited Jamie Dimon would be if all of this laundering had been done via bitcoin/crypto rather than our glorious and infallible banking institutions, which we all know are immune to money laundering due to them being "regulated".

I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere along the line Goldman, JP Morgan and others were middlemen/facilitators of this. They have form for being the middlemen in all number of dodgy schemes. When they protest about bitcoin, they protest too much.
