We have learned today that Danske Bank is being charged for its money laundering scandal. It seems that its branch in Estonia (the only one there) handled around €200bn of Russian and other ex-Soviet money—apparently a large part of it thought to be suspicious.

This reminded me of the excellent episode 4 in Dirty Money, a Netflix TV show. It talks about HSBC, in particular how it got around the anti-money laundering rules years ago. There is when I first heard about the concept too big to jail. Highly recommended.
