Feel much better now. Had my daily swim, beer is cold, and funny flicks here. Now if only we could be the invisible man during the next weekly BB board meeting. Well, that and a few other things. Lol

Wish I could watch along on my Playbook. Time Warner Cable only has access for the iSheep.
Wife has the TV occupied with the big bang theory.
Needs a matching Elder Wand and Resurrection Stone to go with it.
Quelle surprise!
And the stuff we never hear about . . . . . .
Deloitte fined $10 mn in US laundering case
AFP

Big accountancy Deloitte was fined $10 million by New York state on Tuesday for its actions in advising Standard Chartered Bank over money laundering.
Deloitte's unit Deloitte Financial Advisory Services was fined and also banned for one year from work in New York state after state authorities said it did not carry out its duties independently in advising the bank on how to avoid money laundering.
Standard Chartered was fined $667 million by federal and New York state authorities last year for permitting hundreds of billions of dollars to be laundered through its US branch by clients from Iran, Myanmar, Libya and Sudan, in violation of US sanctions on the countries.
The transfers took place mainly between 2001 and 2007.
In 2004 the New York Department of Financial Services required the London-based bank to contract an independent adviser to help it comply with money-laundering statutes.
But even after Deloitte Financial Advisory Services took that role, the laundering continued.
The department said the fine, which the company agreed to in a settlement, was to cover its "misconduct, violations of law, and lack of autonomy" in advising Standard Chartered.
"At times, the consulting industry has been infected by an 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine' culture and a stunning lack of independence," said Benjamin Lawsky, New York superintendent of financial services, in a statement.
"Today, we are taking an important step in helping ensure that consultants are independent voices -- rather than beholden to the large institutions that pay their fees."
Why does the bank just get fined? Why don't those within the bank face charges of treason, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, trafficking, money laundering, accessory, fencing, theft, piracy, and the list goes on.....
HOLY **** BATMAN...what a goal...lol
Apologies for the language...Pil is kickin in
Friends in high places, corruption, no balls, you name it. :-)
Wow a must read. I started laughing halfway through because it just rang so true with respect to bbrys fluctuations. I think we may see a new large holder reported on the 31st.

Curious - since this is a forum with probably half-Canadian (+/-?) readership, curious how it's going up North when a Cup Final features two US cities?
Does it chap your hide as much as Toronto winning a WS does to us in the US?
