Yea, I know just the amount that they are saying was laundered for the drug cartels was over 700 billion. 1.9b is not even 1% of that amount. It seems that 7 billion figure I posted about was a single or a small amount of the overall transactions.

I still have yet to see any figures on the amounts they laundered for Iran and the other countries listed, other than the reported $340 million dollar transaction. Meaning who knows how much money we are taking with that.

BTW, putting this in terms of how the US would treat an individual.. if a normal person gets caught on the business end of drug dealings then all their assets are forfeited. Their house & money what ever the govt can track back to that drug money is taken.

Meanwhile if you are a big bank, you don't even pay a 1% fine nor even get a slap on the wrist.
