Yes, Fortune, OECD, Economist, swiss courts, local banks all bullshit. Zzz1 and his myriads of invisible studies are right. Zzzzzzzzzz...
Germans must be all superstars. Export world champions while working 26 hours. That makes of course sense. And according to you all the poor expats are having their funds confiscated by the evil IRS and banks. Bad bad HSBC. Lol. I feel pity on you. You must feel so bank robbed and so abused when you lived in HK and elsewhere. Do you have the leftover cash after your hooker escapades stashed under your pillow? Feel safe?
Yeah. Instead we get Mississippi and the meth millennium. http://www.westernjournalism.com/shocking-meth-destroys-face-physical-appearance/ Worked out pretty well.
Yeah that stuff is hellish. I guess the only solution is to bring back low level jobs to provide meaning in life again for certain social groups. It's not you put them in class and teach them AI and coding. Assembling fridges and cars be it.
Indeed, almost all gone in booze, hoes and lawyers... At this rithm within a few decades I'll have to step down to a miserable 30k a month 3BR in HK. I understood you can advice me, which will be helpful coz i only heard of cramped shitholes for that price except maybe way out in the woods. A shame to have such high morals and low lifestandard. Not sure what expats gotta do with it, you just brought them up. And thank you for the couple of dozens of studies illustrating your points, they were, as usual, most enlightening.
Disclosure rules won’t slow Hong Kong’s money-laundering wheels http://www.scmp.com/business/bankin...e-rules-wont-slow-hong-kongs-money-laundering
I brought up expats because you are constantly complaining how your ilk feels so ripped off by regulators, banks, law enforcement and the like.
" The green line represents these trends for a normal Asian economy, in this case Thailand’s foreign investment outflows.Oh, how clean we launder in this town." That's the conclusion of the opinion piece? Haha, true SCMP journalism as we love it, huh? So the fact that money in and outflow as percentage of GDP of a city like HK compared to a banana Republic like Thailand fluctuates and exceeds Thailand is an indicator that anti money laundering laws are ineffective? And the article is completely misleading in that it only mentions terrorism as potential target those laws aim at. Completely wrong. Are you on drugs or always just settle for the first Google search result?
Well, just voicing the impression I get from your constant bickering about everything regulation related. As if someone is out to hunt you down and trying to make your life miserable. Have your funds ever been held up for wrong reasons and have they not been returned to you promptly when having clarified the source and intent of the fund transfer? If not then stfu and move on, miserable Frenchman.
