Read it here.

All of us took a bit of a hit for that in our personal finances. Note also the video at the bottom of that page.

I read this every year, time after time. I feel like they just get to keep the money theyve stolen from the public, while their 'fines' are just a kickback to the government to look the other way until it happens again.

5.7 billion is probably a drop in the bucket compared to what all these banks have really taken from the general population.

They're just an overwhelming Banking Cartel at this point.  It makes me laugh when people are clueless to this type of shit. :lol: 
Too bad there is fuck all anybody could do to people as powerful as that anyway. :shrug:

Who do you want to put in jail.  Name a name.  How long?  Who got fucked?  Name a name.  Who gets the money?  An armed cartel is fucking over an unarmed cartel and its effect on me is exactly nil, just like the alleged manipulation.

The one that was convicted of global currency conspiracy, and fined $5.7 billion dollars.

Found this story circulating on FB

Quote:

During a robbery in Guangzhou, China, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."

Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."

The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.

This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!

The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."

This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.

This is called "Seizing the opportunity.” Daring to take risks!

So who are the real robbers here?
