Just jaw-dropping corruption: the Queen's cousin, Prince Michael of Kent, filmed at business meeting where clients were told he could be hired for £10,000 a day to make representations to Putin's inner circle. via @JCalvertST @Arbuthnott @tomhcalver thetimes.co.uk/article/facf79…
Enthusiastically corrupt?

Prince Michael of Kent was willing to push the boat out to help the fake gold-trading company House of Haedong gain access to the Russia market via his contact with Vladimir Putin.

via @thesundaytimes @C4Dispatches
Interesting descriptor for Prince Michael of Kent on Google.

. @BaronessKramer: "We have to put iron in the spine of the FCA. Whistleblowers are a citizens army that demand respect. They should be protected and not be the victims of retaliation. What they currently go through is frankly shocking". Great session of @TransparencyTF
Ex Lloyds staffer @Carlier_J87 doing a superb presentation of the uselessness of the FCA - and how it failed to meet its statutory objectives - in mini-bond scandal LC&F and Blackmore Bond. @TransparencyTF event
Blackmore Bond raised millions from investors to fund property developments in 2016-18, but the firm went bust in April 2020 owing £46 million. Now the FCA is trying to wash its hands of any responsibility despite investors' losses. @Carlier_J87 @TransparencyTF

NatWest faces criminal action over money laundering offences. FCA launches criminal action against the former RBS over allegations it failed to detect suspicious activity by a customer who deposited £264 million in cash. via @tomwilson1983 @iainwithers reuters.com/article/us-nat…
Money laundering charges: The FCA alleges NatWest allowed “increasingly large cash deposits” to be paid into a UK-based customer's accounts between November 2011 and October 2016. It's alleged £365m was paid in, including £264m in cash. via @JuliaKollewe theguardian.com/business/2021/…
Prem Sikka suggests the criminal charges against RBS/NatWest could be a ploy to divert attention from FCA's failures, including the fact its former CEO presided over a whitewash of RBS/NatWest GRG after failing to disclose a major conflict-of-interest.
