Wow these banks are nuts.

[medUSA]

This is partly why EU countries are receiving less revenue from taxes. Accountants have been helping large corps for decades and now banks are helping private customers.

I love HSBC.

This is what a proper bank shall do. Protect the assets of its customers against the evil hands of the nation state.

Surprise surprise HSBC yet again. When is it that these bankers are going to start going to jail. Funny how when regular people commit money laundering or tax dodging they go straight to jail but all the bankers do is pay a fine.

The sad thing is they're above the law. Just imagine all the criminality they get up to that we don't know about. Then whenever it does get exposed they just pay the gov off and everyone forgets about it.

Just imagine if we can convince them to use bitcoins

that's interesting!
a bank that helps to commit a crime
and to evade taxes !!!

and especially a bank that does not pay for his crimes,
if there has already been a judgment of a court!!!

We want the FULL LIST

We do not need a censored, sanitized, homogenized and partial leak just about some of these people.
If they out one, they must out everyone.
If they don't, it become just a political hit job and only the "RIGHT" targets are outed and the "LEFT" targets are protected.

[waterpile]

I'm not surprised at all, I do believe there will be always something fishy being done inside the banks. They eventually get away today but in the future they will be exposed for it.. the cycle keeps going on and on..

the complete list will not be never out.
or better,
will be out only if all members of the list,
are far, from the political and administrative bank vertices ...
otherwise, the names that are close to or that are part of the vertices,
will never come out!!!

[TXWA]

I think mostly all of those banks are in the back not 'serious'
HSBC is just another confirmation

[st4nl3y]

HSBC bank has been laundering money and "helping" customers hide their income for years. There were reports of HSBC being involved in funding terrorist organizations in Saudi Arabia. Then later, HSBC was linked with other bank connected with Mexican drug cartels. Only recently an employee decided he had enough and leaked hard proof documents to several authorities in few countries.

I heard about this somewhere back in 2010, can't remember where from.

Here's an example from reuters 2012 report: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/12/12/uk-hsbc-probe-idUKBRE8BA05K20121212
