News Summary: Bank scandals tarnish London

286 days ago

The Associated Press

REPUTATION SMEAR: Bankers in London fear the city's business reputation has been tarnished indelibly by a string of financial scandals.

CONSEQUENCES: The government and regulators could double down their efforts to control the financial sector to clean up its image and appease public outrage.

THE BANKS: Banks getting bad press lately include Barclays, HSBC and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s London office. Now Standard Chartered has been accused by a New York regulator of laundering Iranian oil money.
