    Not really sure where to post this, if it should go in Conspiracy theories then somebody pleas move it.

    Anyway, in the House of Lords, some guy claims to have unearthed a $15trillion laundering scheme between some well known banks. I really don't know if this is should be believed. So far nothing has appeared on the major news sites, and it seems just too outrageous to be true.

    Any opinions? Is this lad just bat shyt crazy? I'd say the best thing to do is just to wait and see...



    Personally... I think it's a load of bollox.

    Sounds like the name for a boss in a video game. Lord James of Blackheath!! Evil-doer extraordinaire!

    Not far off. I believe he has admitted to personally laundering money for, among others, the IRA, in the past.
    Which obviously will affect his credibility in some eyes, but to me it just makes it all the more likely he's telling the truth.

    If its true then I doubt Lord Blackheath will be alive much longer. Tragic carcash "accident" perhaps....?

    Who's this Johanish Royadi (or something) guy?

    THis guy was regarded as a highly successful corporate fixer. If he was talking in billions, it might have some far fetched credibility. However, $15 trn is about 10 times the size of the HSBC or RBS balance sheets so might be a little more obvious.

    He's not exactly a captivating public speaker.

    I got bored.

    Well now we know who the bondholders are!

    I knew it was all a scam, we should never have paid anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,288 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster

    This stuff was pretty much an open secret anyway, I doubt he'll be rocking too many boats.

    Definitely true OP.

    I heard Gerry Ryan found out about this scandal five minutes before he was polished off by MI6.

    He has a bit of form in the area of making outrageous claims



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    $15 trillion, come on, sounds like BS, that is way too round of a figure!

    I think I know what the OP was doing In The Morning yesterday ... ;)

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
