Prison Inmate Emails His Own Release Instructions To the Prison

Posted by Soulskill on from the just-crazy-enough-to-work dept.

The domain was registered in the name of the police officer investigating him, and its address was the court building. The inmate was in prison for fraud — he was originally convicted after calling several banks and getting them to send him upwards of £1.8 million.

    That does not make banks "criminal organizations," equivalent to drug mafias.

    Complete bullshit; this is a lie.

    HSBC has been laundering money for drug cartels for quite a while now, and nothing's been done about it, and no one is prosecuting them. Money laundering IS a crime, so this by definition makes this bank a criminal organization.

    You are a liar.
