    I'm struggling to find a link between my post (that you've quoted above) disproving your assertion that FD account holders couldn't know that FD was owned by HSBC, despite every piece of paper correspondence and every webpage clearly announcing the fact, and a BBC Panorama programme about something that happened 8 years ago in a foreign country.

    The only thing I can think of is that you meant to perhaps quote someone else.

    So it happened 8 years ago it does not matter? I see your reasoning, a bank can happily (in another incident at another time not related to this report) allegedly handle money for the arms trade or monies from money laundering, claim to not know anything about it while at the same time the monies are used to buy guns which kill innocent people, but because its in another country and happened 8 years ago who cares ..............:naughty::naughty::naughty:

    Probably included money from those people you mentioned who had £250K in the bank and who hogged a council house.https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5171822
