        @emptywheel you're glossing over the role of suspicious activity reports filed to FinCEN, of which could be part of evidence of cooperation

        @srubenfeld Yup. That's the standard, right? But even so, enough big banks got caught cheating in the years when DOJ could have prosecuted.

        @srubenfeld Right. But that's the rub and why I pointed to the cooperated claimed in HSBC (at a time when KSA was still sheltering al-Rajhi)

        @BentleytheDog Which was discussed at length in the post. That was driven by Breuer, but this would explain why no charges.
