Who are the more notorious banker-bandits, Americans or the British? I am confused because the cover story in the Time magazine dated 23rd July reasons "why London breeds financial scandals" and claims that the Barclays' scandal is just the beginning. The Economist dated July 14th-20th sarcastically responds saying, "America has its scandals as well" and goes on to narrate a string of American bankers' shenanigans.
Updated on 9th Aug: The tussle between Britain and America has taken a more bitter turn after the NewYork regulators came up with a startling finding that Standard Chartered Bank had enabled unlawful movement of more than $250 billion to Iran. They have also threatened to cancel the bank's licence for its NewYork branch.
