HSBC leaks

I agree with Jacob - only the guilty have something to hide.

My mother-in-law was born in a landowning family in mainland China.  Her family lost everything when the communists took over, and they moved to Hong Kong.  She still keeps a substantial part of her savings in an overseas bank account due to her distrust of the communists.  She is just a retired police sergeant, BTW.

It was sarcasm, Mono.

Someone finally understands while banking secrecy is a must for many honest people.  Of course, it had to be Mono.

I do like how media make their titles:
Ottawa gains 1349 bank files  The article is in french, couldn't be bothered to find the english link.


Anyway.  Once you read through the article, it says 154 of these files are double, 801 had nothing in it and only 394 had been judged "high risk".  Overblown story on our side, methinks.  Not that it's not a good thing to go after criminals and other people evading taxes, but it's far from the solution to all problems as the left would like us to believe.
