Sorry: Chief executive Bob Diamond apologised for the incident and will forgo his bonus this yea Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz1z4t6noX5 "Between 2005 and 2009, more than 200 requests were sent, usually by email or instant messenger - by traders to the Barclays Libor submitters. In one example of several provided by the FSA, a trader emailed the Barclays Libor submitter in March 2006, writing: 'The big day [has] arrived… My NYK are screaming at me about an unchanged 3(month) libor. As always, any help wd be greatly appreciated. What do you think you’ll go for 3(month)?' The submitter replied: 'I am going 90 altho 91 is what I should be posting.' The trader thanked him, saying: '..when I retire and write a book about this business your name will be written in golden letters" More to come Last edited by arista; 28-06-2012 at 11:30 AM. |

Forego his bonus, wow. I am totally dismayed at the arrogance of the Banking industry.

"12.31 Osborne says Barclays is not alone in the interbank lending rate probe and that Barclays and other banks were potentially in flagrant breach of proper market conduct. "

From Both SkyNewsHD and BBC News
Marcus Agius is to resign as group chairman at Barclays. They are having to act faster due to a backlash from UK public. Last edited by arista; 01-07-2012 at 10:58 PM. |

Remarkably quiet in here considering the amount of lefties we usually have criticising the right.
The government has to take the banks by the balls. They've got away with too much for too long. |

If they are fining a bank, where does the money come from? doesn't the money just come from the customers?? so they are punishing the custmers just as much as the bank itself. they'll just continue using ridiculous fee's to fund this penalty.

Heh, had a bit of a giggle at this
You know...we used to laugh at my grandad. He kept HUGE amounts of cash at random places in the house (and even out in the greenhouse ) because he said we shouldnt trust banks...turns out he was right

The only way to make them pay is to close your account and move your money to a local credit union or even a co-op bank i did this long ago.
Stop supporting the bent bankers instead of just moaning about them. |

Most credit unions arn't accessable enuf for people to use them as their main bank. i use my credit union account as a good savings account, but i still need to have a credit account at a local bank so i can access it regularly and pay my bills.

Places like the co-operative and the nationwide building society that are owned by there members instead of shareholders they practice ethical banking and everybody that holds an account gets to vote on how things are done and who sits on the board of directors. They stay out of the high risk markets that banks gamble in and they only invest in ethical markets and any profits at the years end are shared between account holders in the form of dividends. Once the pressure to keep the shareholders happy is removed then so is much of the problem. edit: @lostalex But yes i take your point i dont know enough about banking in the usa to disagree with that.

Well thats not going to happen People have homes tied up in Banks they can not jump ship. Criminal Bankers are being Removed 13 Years of Stinking New Labour never helped us. Ed Miliband back then was advising Brown to not change the sytem in those days (ref: Vince Cable Live at the BMW plant , Oxford on SkyNewsHD) Last edited by arista; 09-07-2012 at 07:26 AM. |

Its easy Arista it really is. I am also a much happier person knowing that im not contributing to the misery,murder and destruction that the big corps bring via their goverment funding that protects them and allows david cameron to carry out his disgusting arms deals. But thats your karma not mine enjoy. The only end to it is to scrap the fractional reserve system but thats not going to happen any time soon the mutuals arent perfect but at least its not funding murder.
