    No matter who you are or where you're based, once you trade in US Dollars you operate by their rules. You fcuk about with Dollars in Ireland or Iran the yanks can jail you as soon as you touch American soil. I actually hope the ****s go out of business, whiter than white ****s sticking their nose into our business and making the king look like a tool.

    the same happend wall mart a few months ago in a mexican bribing "scandal", its share price bounced back to where it was within a month. SC share price will be back to where it was pretty soon as its one of the better run banks out there.

    i think the point here is we have american owners and the last thing they want is to be associated with iranian money no matter how small the link is if its proved the sponsership is in real trouble simply because of the link with iranian money wich as fsr as the americans are concerned is tainted money putting it mildly

    standard chartered are the healthiest bank in london. there is a lot of friction between london and wall street. singling out standard chartered was a witch hunt by the yanks.
