Too Big to Jail

According to the G20 there are two banks that are so enormous they cannot be allowed to collapse - to do so would cause global, systemic meltdown. One of those banks is HSBC. In 2012 HSBC was fined a record $1.9bn by the US authorities for failing to stop Mexican gangs from laundering their cash. Too Big to Jail examines how HSBC became the Mexican drug cartel's bank of choice and how, when caught, they avoided prosecution. How prosecutors compromise with corporations.
