read this, note the conflicts of interest that led to Swedbank hiring and immediately firing Ernst&Young and then think of the following dystopian scenario coming to an (African) country near you:
I have it on good authority that Thomson Reuters is convincing several African governments that the best way to deal with banking crises is to OUTSOURCE prudential regulation of banking system to Big 4 Accounting firms.
I first laughed incredulously but hey, there is method in the madness: 20 years of 'minimal state' pressure from Washington, structural adjustment, revolving door between central bank/IMF&WB/private finance & now WB's Maximising Finance for Development - obvious next step.

Roland Barthes, liquidity, dark pools and market-making in one place.
come @a_lagna why not write a "Why is it better to last than to burn?" post for our #criticalmacrofinance blog re-working Barthes' lovers discourse?
1. The market-maker's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits for bid-ask quotes.

still puzzled why The Wire has Stringer Bell taking mainstream micro classes to improve his technique of managing the Barksdale empire.
puzzled because the Wire is so very Keynesian: 'follow the money, not the drugs' reaffirms the Keynesian emphasis on the monetary economy, not the commodity.
(yes, I have been the Wire again, and still think it's brilliant, up there with Broad City, GoT and Veep).

Ha! I fervently believe in #shadowmoney :)
I also fervently believe I will finish a book on #shadowmoney. Don't know which is more religious.
I see a theme emerging here

There's usually so much shit going on with EU banks that I try not to blame banks based only on unconfirmed press reports / rumors, but the latest developments on #Swedbank are so OMFG that I just can't help it! (Quick thread)
Ofc you remember how #Danske was hammered because of ALM in the Baltics, the CEO resigned etc. Ever since the Danske story broke in full speed there were fears of similar situation at nordic banks.
A week ago, a similar AML story broke on Swedbank and the stock crashed. I joked about the poor performance of the management on the investor call ("we checked and had no common clients with Danske". "That is, we checked 7 clients" 🤣)

Map of countries with confirmed Chinese #5G deployment plans (Red) testing & under consideration (pink). This update adds Iceland (in testing).
@Molos123 Not going to pretend this is not serious because when you understand Beijing’s ‘Digital Belt & Road’ strategy & their ‘2025’ plan to dominate 5G/Cyber globally, that map is telling & must be rolled back. The West’s own mobile wireless oligopoly has been used to facilitate it.
London should look at this closely & ask themselves some tough questions. How much kowtowing is required & at what price your obligations to your historic allies & the free world? Cop on. Tell the grubby rent seeking carrier lobby to take a running jump.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

Many Iranians criticised one of BBC Farsi’s journalists for her comments on Iran-Hezbullah relations. Some have even threatened her that she won’t be allowed to go back to Iran after the fall of the regime. Many Iranians believe some of @bbcpersian journalists support the regime.
In the past few days some anti-BBC slogans have been chanted by the protesters in Iran. In a comment one of BBCFarsi journalist claims that ‘Trump wants to turn Iran into another Syria by starting a civil war etc’. The same propaganda which is pumped out by Iranian state media.
Some of @BBCPersian journalists block anyone who criticises them. One of its journalists in particular has publicly supported A.Khamenei on his social media pages. I have written to a few MPs and the BBC about. Will see if BBC is interested in opening an investigation.
