    Tbh most of the banks around the world, Swiss ones have been v complacent in laundering... perhaps because they profit from holding cash !

    To be fair, the section under 'Dealings with Iran' is a bit of a non-issue.

    All they did was circumvent the nonsensical and partisan internal political policy of the United States' sanction against Iran.

    It's not objectively immoral, and as far as I'm concerned, the US can go screw itself when it comes to the moral highground in economic policy.
