Another interesting example is Stuart Gulliver, CEO of HSBC when they were fined 5 weeks of income for laundering money for Mexican and Columbian drug cartels. HSBC lawyers persuaded prosecutors &quot;not to indict HSBC, the London-based bank, on charges of vast and prolonged money laundering, for fear that criminal prosecution would topple the bank and, in the process, endanger the financial system.&quot; Gulliver was not tried for any crime after helping launder money for literal mass-murdering drug lords in a country where people are jailed for possession of marijuana. Given the dynamics of the situation, it&#x27;s troubling that he was able to do that.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rollingstone.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;news&#x2F;outrageous-hsbc-settlement-proves-the-drug-war-is-a-joke-20121213" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rollingstone.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;news&#x2F;outrageous-hsbc-se...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dealbook.nytimes.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;12&#x2F;10&#x2F;hsbc-said-to-near-1-9-billion-settlement-over-money-laundering&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dealbook.nytimes.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;12&#x2F;10&#x2F;hsbc-said-to-near-1-9...</a>
