    Quote:
    THE US Department of Justice has ordered the world’s biggest investment banks, accountants and law firms to hand over all e-mails, telephone records and papers connected with internet gaming firms as part of an investigation into illegal online gambling in America.

    HSBC, Dresdner Kleinwort, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank are known to be among the banks that have been issued with subpoenas — official requests for information — as part of a worldwide hunt to build a case against those who benefited from illegal online gambling.

    Those are all non-US banks, why would they choose to go after non-US banks first? Do Bush and cronies own Bank of America and Citigroup shares?

    ‘The Americans need to step to the plate and prevent their leader from destroying what was once a great nation!’

    I think it’s a little late for that. I remember in the 90s everyone looked up to the great USA. A decade later and it’s the opposite.

    Of course UK banks will comply.
