❓ FAQ
What is an 'AML failing'?
A weakness in the controls a bank must run: client identification, transaction monitoring, reporting of suspicious activity. Such failings do not necessarily mean actual laundering, but they open the door to dirty money.
Does a probe mean a conviction?
No. A probe seeks to establish facts. The bank generally contests, and the presumption of innocence applies until a final decision.
Has anyone been finally convicted?
Unless stated otherwise, no. The article reports public information from the cited sources. Investigations, charges or proceedings do not amount to guilt. The presumption of innocence applies.
Is this real news or a parody?
It is factual satire: the facts are sourced, the tone is satirical. Nothing is invented, but the framing is ironic.
