Not supposed to do that!
The US "government" spends 30 years telling us that Persia is a deadly threat, and telling us that we should avoid all transactions with Persia.
Finally a New York prosecutor takes them seriously and tries to prosecute a British bank that was dealing with Persia.
So what happens?
The explosive allegations by Benjamin Lawsky, head of the recently created New York State Department of Financial Services, complicate talks between the Treasury and the 160-year-old British bank to settle claims over the transactions...
Mr Lawsky's report, full of colourful language alleging "fraud" and a "staggering cover up", threatens to rewrite the rules on how foreign banks settle such cases. In the past they have been almost choreographed with public shaming kept to a minimum.
Hey, Lawsky! You're not supposed to take this shit seriously! Most of all, you're not supposed to PUNISH a bank! We were getting ready to handle this in our usual way, by PAYING the bank a few quadrillion quintillion vigintillion gigamegateradollars to guarantee their silence, and now you screw it all up by trying to PUNISH fraud!
We see similar friction between NYPD and the federal Department Of Jesse Jackson (DOJ). NYC took the 9/11 thing seriously and proceeded to monitor the actions of suspicious Muslims. Department Of Jesse Jackson (DOJ) is now trying to squash this overly appropriate police action.
Many of us have seen from the start that TSA and DHS were created solely to keep the American people confused, disarmed and repressed. (I was retarded, didn't catch on until 2006.) By now it's clear that 9/11 was not a sudden and surprising attack, it was just part of the schedule.
