The second Barclays announced its $450 million Libor settlement, it was all over - the lawyers smelled not only blood, but what may be the biggest plaintiff feeding frenzy of all time. Which is why it was only a matter of time: "State attorneys general are jumping into the widening scandal over whether banks tried to manipulate benchmark international lending rates, a move that could open a new front against the top global banks. A handful of state attorneys general said they are looking into whether they have jurisdiction over the banks, and are starting preliminary discussions to determine what kind of impact the conduct involving the Libor rate may have had in their states."

I won't get my hopes up. The master of all banks is the Federal Reserve. He who controls the money makes the rules... or in this case, the print machine. I wouldn't be surprised if this just mysteriously disappears, and the mass media pulls more distractions out of its ass to confuse everyone.edit on 11-7-2012 by MrUncreated because: (no reason given)

I was hoping it would be enough, but most people don't care unless it affects them. The thing is, it does affect them. Just not enough. A lot of people have been outed in the past several years, without any sort of consequences or justice. But people forget about it and move on.

As with Greece... Many are starting to sell public works to the same entities/ elitists responsible for the fraud. Mind you, it's all fictitious currency in the first place.
