Why is it, anytime it involves bankers, the penalty for breaking the law is a slight slap on the wrist.. These people will never learn until they actually pay for what they have done.

  2. Have you read the article? It’s not that big of a deal… The guy opened an account, deposited 30M and said he’s the owner/beneficial owner of those funds…

    Banks are doing MUCH WORSE 😉

  3. >Why is it, anytime it involves bankers, the penalty for breaking the law is a slight slap on the wrist..

    Because they don’t want any drama the next time they are hanging out on the yacht, golf tour, ski tour…

  5. This verdict is actually good news. But yeah, people generally think the justice system exists to dish out long prison sentences for anything that riles them up personally.

  8. The title is overdramatic, the article mainly talks about a member of Putin’s inner circle opening bank accounts here and they didn’t say what evidence there was that connected him to Putin’s assets other than his personal connection with him (correct me if I am wrong) and the fact that the guy was a musician and dind’t seem to have access to millions of francs (basically the bank allowed it without asking questions).

    I think we should allow Putin to put all his money over here so we can then freeze it.

  9. I heard they were given the maximum sentence that they could be given. So the laws need reform but at least they got the max punishment for what is possible

  14. a. these people operate in the same social strata. It would be awkward at the next party.

    b. white collar crime is a part of our identity.

    c. punitive measures in form of a “Geldstrafe” isn’t punitive for rich people, only for normies or poors. So you already know for who these laws where written.
