The figures for the Banksters and their illegal activities speak for themselves. Since 2000, the Banksters have been fined 7,660 times for a total of $386 billion:
These figures are monumental, and in the worst 10 you have :
  1. Bank of America - $87,286,650,890
  2. JPMorgan Chase - $39,340,688,209
  3. UBS - $31,069,299,125
  4. Wells Fargo - $27,616,269,231
  5. Citigroup - $26,945,611,792
  6. Deutsche Bank - $20,011,467,563
  7. Goldman Sachs - $17,729,327,552
  8. NatWest Group PLC - $14,370,701,618
  9. Morgan Stanley - $10,780,502,443
  10. BNP Paribas - $10,363,464,666
Worse still is to imagine that these figures are vastly undervalued because if the Banksters continue to act in this way to the detriment of their customers and the people, it's because their crimes earn them more than the fines they have to pay.
So, if they have paid $386B in fines, their crimes must have earned them several trillion dollars. This is a certainty.
The opacity of today's banking system allows the Banksters to continue their illegal activities.
And yet, as you may have noticed, the Banksters have been calling Bitcoin a scam for all these years.
If the Banksters are so critical of Bitcoin, it's out of fear that a fairer, more equitable system will render them obsolete. Bitcoin is transparent. Bitcoin will no longer allow the Banksters to do this.
The Banksters' fear regarding the Bitcoin Revolution is obvious: the Banksters are afraid that Bitcoin will take away their privileges and the ability to swindle their customers and the people.
The sooner the general public understands this, the sooner they will withdraw their funds from the banks for the safety of the Bitcoin system. That's how we'll gradually strip the Banksters of their power!
Really good point. Do you know if that is that US only data?
