During a speech this morning on her so-called economic “vision” for America, Hillary Clinton criticized “individuals and institutions” she sees as bad actors in the financial world.
One of those she mentioned was HSBC. Clinton said, “There can be no justification or tolerance for this kind of criminal behavior.”
HSBC is the controversial British bank recently accused of helping “hide millions of dollars for drug traffickers, arms dealers and celebrities as it assisted wealthy people around the world dodge taxes.”
In 2011, Bill Clinton was paid $200,000 for a speech to HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. in Key Largo, FL.
In 2007, the Clintons sold between $15,001 and $50,000 in HSBC Holdings PLC.
And HSBC has donated between $500,000 and $1,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
