The Banking List of Shame

UK, US and Swiss authorities have fined five banks more than £2BN over failings that led to manipulation of the foreign exchange markets.

For good measure The Bank of England dismissed its chief currencies dealer following an investigation, for "breaching internal policies".

As per the Telegraph:

Total Fines

Financial Conduct Authority
• Citibank: £225,575,000
• HSBC: £216,363,000
• JPMorgan: £222,166,000
• RBS: £217,000,000
• UBS: £233,814,000

• Citibank: $310m
• JPMorgan: $310m
• RBS: $290m
• UBS: $290m
• HSBC: $275m

Well done lads, you are a "credit" to the "profession"!

In case anyone is wondering why Barclays isn't mentioned, it is still being investigated.
