Man... my conservative side says you can't blame a bank for how their customers use the money. (There's no commutative property in capitalism.)

But my Reality side says, "somebody's gotta fucking do something, so why not start with the goddamn bankers?"

Just linking a name like JP Morgan Chase to $1.2bn in drugs is going to result in some Very Serious Memos being sent, and underlings will be scurrying around to make sure the other illicit activities have been covering their tracks better...

It's been four months and fuckall has happened. Expect JP Morgan to continue running drugs.

If we accept that we live in an oligarchy then it makes sense to begin to hold the oligarchs accountable instead of the puppet politicians.
