To be honest I didn't hear about this case but I am not surprised. Banks and bankers have often been involved in many scandals like other users before me pointed out, and wherever there is a lot of money there is always a possibility of fraud. Another reason why the blockchain is such a revolution. Imagine if in 10-20 years banks were using a blockchain. A public, verifiable ledger and we could all see the movement of their money. I would be interested to see who has the guts to send/invest it somewhere where it is not supposed to go?!
They control the media, they can pay hundreds of thousands to these network to keep their mouth shut but write for cryptocurrency laundering scheme worth less than a billion. Just imagine how much money could go into coinmarketcap if that 230B goes in to crypto, it could start a bullrun which we could attract investors once again.
