Først var det Libor, nu er det valutakurserne der snydes med

Traders at some of the world’s biggest banks manipulated benchmark foreign-exchange rates used to set the value of trillions of dollars of investments, according to five dealers with knowledge of the practice.

Employees have been front-running client orders and rigging WM/Reuters rates by pushing through trades before and during the 60-second windows when the benchmarks are set, said the current and former traders, who requested anonymity because the practice is controversial. Dealers colluded with counterparts to boost chances of moving the rates, said two of the people, who worked in the industry for a total of more than 20 years.

Først var det manipulation med Libor renten og nu er der anklager fremme om at de store banker manipulerer valutakurserne til egen gavn, imod egne kunder.

Nu vidste man jo godt at bankfolk blot er banditter i habitter, men det er jo snart sagt i alt de foretager sig, at de snyder og bedrager for ussel mammon, og store bonusser.
