HSBC fined $1.9 billion dollars by the US

[Phillip V]

Will there be any jail time?

Good, these mega-banks only take numbers seriously when they're in the billions.

Negative. Assuming the fine does not kill the bank, it's just another number on the P&L. The only thing corporate officers take seriously is jail time.

I bet you they'd take confiscation of their goods and a choice between transportation to Africa or execution seriously.

That too but it's never on the table, sadly.
