Standard Chartered bank ran a rogue unit that schemed with Iran's government to hide more than $250bn (£160bn) in illegal transactions for nearly a decade, according to a scathing report by New York regulators that may put intense pressure on the management of the UK-based bank.
According
to the report filed by the New York state department of financial
services (NYSDFS), when warned by a US colleague about dealings with
Iran, a Standard Chartered executive caustically replied: "You f---ing
Americans. Who are you to tell us, the rest of the world, that we're not
going to deal with Iranians."
