U.S. officials in contact with New York on Standard Chartered

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-officials-contact-york-standard-171253436.html

this is treason.
they should also proceed against deloitte touche who advised them.
they took american investors' $ and gave it to iran in a shortselling scheme.
take their licenses (standard chartered bank and deloitte touche) at the minimum, criminal probe by the FBI.

i do agree that the regulators need to proceed against our banks also.

QUIT accommodating high frequency trading systems. they don't help any execution venue. stop naked shortselling by forcing clearing in market deadlines, borrowing stock before you short. are regulators effectively enforcing the rules? i don't see it.

i can just imagine how clearinghouses are doing. where are our regulators? who knows.
