Award-winning bank HSBC likes to sell itself as 'the world's local bank', the friendly face of corporate and personal finance - and yet, a decade ago, they were hit with a record US fine of $1.9 billion for facilitating money laundering for El Chapo and the Sinaloa cartel, one of the most notorious and violent criminal organizations in the world. In this riveting expose, journalist and former Independent editor Chris Blackhurst investigates this astonishing story. With a narrative spanning Hong Kong, London, Washington, the Cayman islands and Mexico, Blackhurst gathers a global cast of politicians, drug-runners, FBI officers and whistle-blowers. Authoritative and shocking, Too Big to Jail asks whether reckless profiteering remains endemic to global finance. And if so, why is no one ever imprisoned for their venality?
