Disclaimer & comment rulesBefore the argies come in here saying the “UK is curropt, the UK is finnish” - I'd just like to point out that this has nothing to fo with the UK Government or the State, it was the Banks that manipulated the rates to make a financial gain from it. They got caught and the traders involved now face criminal charges, which i doubt would be the case in argentina, just look at your own vice president as hes a perfect example of curroption!

BIG BIG difference is that when you are suspected or caught out fiddling in UK and US you get the chop and/or prosecuted!
Jul 09th, 2012 - 11:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0That tends to NOT happen in Argentina!
More exposure shows the level of success against this kind of activity,
Jul 09th, 2012 - 02:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Rather than a third world country, who thinks corruption is part of life,
But one must note here, that MPs should not gloat to much, seeing as they too, were caught out on fiddling there expenses,
And also remember, that their greed produces massive losses to the country,
Whereas the banks in contrast, served up over 13 billion in taxes,
Just a thought.

Jul 09th, 2012 - 08:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Do you people actually believe the lies you are told? No wonder the powers that be piss on you without a second thought (like in this very case).
Your governments MADE money surely off this, and now they are just slapping them in the wrist.
How many people have been arrested in the US, UK, or EU since the financial crisis of 2008? Everyone knows HUNDREDS even THOUSANDS of people in financial institution commited fraud of all kinds, yet here were are 5 years later.
Big difference between you and Argentina MY COOOO.
well well, it makes one wonder what hidden banking practises go on in more corrupt countries, this is just the tip of a huge global banking iceberg, however most other countries will not pursue corruption claims , good to see the UK leading the way investigating the corruption these claims can any other country claim they actually would??? and before Argtards surface, they should know that EVERY country has corruption it just boils down to what countries are willing to investigate it. Clearly The Uk is !!!
Jul 09th, 2012 - 09:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well to be fair,
Jul 09th, 2012 - 10:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We are the closest thing to being a diamond,

Well,
It just might be ??
