"...The thieves suing the fraudsters who work for the looters....". Likey, likey ... think will use it elsewhere.

Isn't this the Chimpides case in the US we've covered elsewhere?

Err... it's one of what seems now to be two cases from Tsimpedes one for the CarpetBaggers and another one for the CY Refugees displaced in '74; against the same defendants in both cases... perhaps you can get DT to confirm.

Well going after HSBC is their best bet in this whole story as they are internationally accountable unlike the miserable "TRNC" etc...

Yes deffo agree... the "tncrtn" is an ethereal target; better to have gone out after Turkey as the Occupation Power (along with HSBC). Something that held us in good stead through years of cases at the ECHR, as anything that happens in the Occupied Areas, whether by its actions or through its inaction, is Turkey's responsibility ... and Turkey (like the HSBC) has loadsa assets in the USA from which awards can be made.

The ninth commandment:

Though shalt not bear false witness.

Stephen Green's pronouncement (25 June 2009):

"There was a culture, there was a climate that developed where it’s as if you would say to yourself, ‘If there’s a contract, if it’s legal, if there’s a market, then I’ll do the deal, I don’t have to ask any questions, I don’t have to ask whether it’s right or suitable’. And I do think that we need to get back to that sense of what’s right and suitable and not merely, here’s something that’s a profitable transaction."

You're going to hell Stephen Green, HSBC chairman; though hopefully, if there's a God, prison first.

I had a HSBC Credit card until I found out their connection with the Turkish occupation and the illegal regime set up in cyprus by the TC community. When they asked me why I was cancelling the card they wouldn't accept my reason, based on the fact the HSBC is supporting the violation of human rights.

And that changed everything did it? it did nothing.

True. Although it's ironic that it's the carpetbaggers who are claiming they were duped by HSBC to participate in fraud and felony!!! The case has been filed in the US so the outcome should be interesting. Just how do HSBC plan to defend this one I wonder?

[bill cobbett]

Well, to have a stab at that, they have maintained that they acquired an interest in the Occupied Areas when they bought a Turkish Bank, which had several branches up there. They could have disposed of these branches, but they didn't and unfortunately for them, the Turkish Bank (forget its name) did not have a license from the Regulatory Authority of the Republic to conduct banking business and so neither does the HSBC.... and so the HSBC are operating there without due licensing and just as importantly, without the inspection regime that comes with licensing, to counter, amongst other things, money laundering.

On a second front they will also have to defend as to why they have conspired with others by making money advances to such as the CarpetBuggerers (with whom this bank is very popular) to fraudulently try and acquire the property of others... and of course something which is contrary to the criminal code of the Republic.

The £200bn questions: Scale of HSBC tax scandal goes back to Trade Minister Lord Green

http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/20 ... questions/

The potential scale of the tax loss will heighten pressure on trade minister Lord Green, who was chairman of HSBC’s private banking division during the period the HMRC is investigating. He is already facing questions from MPs about the bank’s links to Mexican drug cartels and terrorists that came to light this month in a devastating US Senate investigation. Emails released as part of that investigation showed Green was twice warned about compliance failures and allegations that huge sums were laundered by Mexican drug gangs through a subsidiary of HSBC.

Labour shadow finance secretary Chris Leslie said: “We learn more and more each day about the network of high risk affiliates and tax haven linkages which HSBC and its senior executives were clearly familiar with. It is therefore more important than ever for those individuals now determining the future of banking culture and policy in this country to set out what they know about these things, and whether they took appropriate steps to defend the rules on tax and propriety.”

HSBC, the biggest western bank in Egypt, last year faced strong criticism for its connections to the Mubarak regime. A Church of England lay preacher, Green co-chaired the Egyptian British Business Council in 1998, which reported to then British and Egyptian prime ministers Tony Blair and Kamal Ganzouri.
