It rather looks as if the widespread anti american sentiment in Europe might be well justified. Gotcha Bang to Rights.
This from CNN:
(Financial Times) -- Several senior British MPs accused US regulators of pursuing an anti-City of London agenda in its assault on Standard Chartered, suggesting it was part of an apparent campaign to weaken a rival financial centre.
John Mann, a Labour member of the Treasury select committee, said he detected an "increasing anti-British bias by US regulators and politicians" which could have been influenced by a desire to shift business from the City to Wall Street.
"This is a real power grab [by US authorities] and the stakes are very high," he said.

Troubling news for Standard Chartered
How Libor hurts you Unease is growing among MPs -- even among opposition Labour politicians who have been severely critical of the banking industry -- about the spate of negative headlines about Barclays over its involvement in the Libor scandal, HSBC over money laundering, and now StanChart.
Pat McFadden, another Labour member of the Treasury committee, said all banks should abide by the rules. "But we have to be careful after all the recent reports not to think of London as the Wild West and New York as some kind of perfect financial nirvana; that would not be accurate."
Britain's Treasury limited its response to an official comment: "This report suggests some concerning allegations, but they are allegations at this stage and we will be looking closely at the response from Standard Chartered."
But the bank was supported by Conservative MPs such as Sam Gyimah, who said: "What we have seen in the case of Standard Chartered is a highly inflammatory report that is effectively the case for the prosecution."
Kwasi Kwarteng, another Tory MP, said US regulators have a history of pursuing businesses on "slender evidence". "Some of these investigations are politically driven, I wonder if this New York regulator is ... looking for a high-profile scalp," he said.
So those of you who accuse me and others of being anti american, congratulations, you are dead right.
If there are sanctions suggested against any nation it should be against america, the prison state. The cause of more innocent deaths than any other western nation. The heartland of the drug culture, the porn centre of the world and the most arrogant, ignorant nation in the entire world.
And I have to say that I feel sorry for those of you who know this and are powerless to do anything about it. But to those who think they are the greatest nation, the greatest people the world has ever seen I'll say this: The oxygen you are consuming is being wasted on you. You are an embarrassment to the human race. Not Iran, not even N Korea, not China parades its purulent self across the world stage demanding that everyone follow like america does.
