 | | | HSBC /Jeremy Charles / départ en retraite du grand patron de la division métaux précieux
par marie Lun 25 Juin 2012 - 23:50 | |
| quand on connait le rôle que joue HSBC dans la manipulation du cours de l'or, cette nouvelle prend toute son importance rappelons qu'en plus de gardienner une des réserves du comex ( warehouse ), HSBC est également le gardien des réserves du très controversé ETF, GLD Goldfinger bows out of precious metals By Jack FarchyThe gold market has just lost one of its most senior figures.
Jeremy Charles, the veteran head of precious metals at HSBC, retires on Friday after a career of nearly four decades at the heart of the bullion industry. In that time, he helped to revolutionise the market.
Under Mr Charles, HSBC’s precious metals division has become one of the largest and most profitable franchises in the industry. With just 27 front office staff, competitors estimate that the bank’s precious metals division makes annual revenues of $200m-$300m a year, rivalled only by ScotiaMocatta, UBS, and JPMorgan. Along with JPMorgan, HSBC trades more gold in the London market than any other bank, traders say.
Mr Charles, who started his career in 1975 as a 19-year-old "tea boy" at NM Rothschild and went on to become chairman of the London Bullion Market Association, has witnessed the transformation of the gold market from a backwater into one of the most profitable areas of many banks.
The industry in no small part has Mr Charles to thank for that.
A decade ago, gold bankers spent their time selling the yellow metal on behalf of central banks, hedging on behalf of miners, or lending to jewellers. But now central banks are buying, not selling, miners have stopped hedging, and the gold jewellery industry is in decline. The focus has shifted to investors, and Mr Charles has been at the leading edge of the change.
In 2002, an Australian entrepreneur called Graham Tuckwell asked him for his help setting up an exchange-traded fund backed by physical gold. Mr Tuckwell had been rebuffed by several other banks, but Mr Charles was supportive.
"If it wasn’t for Jeremy, the whole idea of the gold ETFs would have been a lot longer coming," says Mr Tuckwell, chairman and founder of ETF Securities.
The advent of gold ETFs has turned the industry on its head. Collectively, they now hold more gold than all but a handful of central banks, and the easy access to gold investment has helped invigorate the decade-long bull market that spurred gold prices to a record $1,920 an ounce last year.
They have also transformed the profitability of bullion banking. While a decade ago, the gold vaults of banks such as HSBC and JPMorgan were almost empty, they are now groaning with gold and silver, much of it owned by ETFs. HSBC earned $39m alone last year from storing the gold of the SPDR Gold Shares fund, the industry’s largest ETF, according to regulatory filings.
Mr Charles entered the precious metals industry by luck. Responding to a job advert that sought "someone with two A-levels who enjoys travel", he ended up joining the bullion operations team at NM Rothschild, and later moved to Johnson Matthey Bankers to become a dealer.
He was just beginning his training as a trader in 1980 when gold prices spiked to $850 an ounce and silver to more than $50 an ounce. Later, he represented JMB at the "gold fixing", the daily meeting of the members of the LBMA to establish a clearing price for gold, when it was still held at the offices of Rothschild and each trader had a Union flag on his desk which he lowered to indicate that he had concluded his business.
In 1983, he helped deal with the fallout from one of the most high-profile robberies in British history when 6,800 of JMB’s gold bars were stolen in the "Brinks-Mat" heist. And at least once he has had to defuse a security crisis by intervening between British airport authorities and a foreign central bank that had sent an armed convoy to guard its gold shipment.
As well as being one of the most senior figures in the industry, he is also among the most popular. Nicknamed "007" by clients and colleagues for his resemblance to Daniel Craig, the actor who plays James Bond, he is known as an advocate of the precious metals industry and a patient educator of colleagues, clients, politicians, competitors – and journalists.
As he retires, the future for gold is unclear. Flows into ETFs have stalled; physical demand for gold from India and the Middle East has slowed sharply; and investors are questioning the sustainability of the gold bull market.
What will the next decade hold?

| blanchiment à Jersey.... - Citation :
- La plus importante banque de
Grande-Bretagne est actuellement poursuivie pour blanchiment et fraude
fiscale. HSBC aurait ouvert des milliers de comptes dans des paradis
fiscaux pour recycler l’argent de ses clients impliqués dans le trafic
d’armes et de drogue. Évidemment, ce n’est pas la plus grande chaîne de
désinformation de France qui vous montrera cette info.
Entre trafic de drogue et fraude fiscale
Des comptes bancaires auraient été
ouvert sur l’ile de Jersey par l’intermédiaire de HSBC afin de
dissimuler le fruit du « labeur » de plusieurs trafiquants de drogue et
de fraudeurs fiscaux. Une enquête de grande envergure vient d’être
lancée suite à une fuite d’informations sur le transfert de plus de 700
millions de livres sterling vers 4000 comptes courant suspects.
La plupart des détenteurs de compte sont
actuellement interrogés pour fraude fiscale tandis que la banque
anglaise pourrait faire face à de sévères sanctions pour ne pas avoir
signalé ces dépôts illégaux aux autorités de Jersey.
Cette affaire intervient quelques mois
après le scandale sur sa participation au blanchiment d’argent de
cartels de la drogue ayant permis de recycler des milliards de livres au
Mexique et aux États-Unis.
La banque encoure jusqu’à 1,25 milliard d’euros d’amende.
Ce qui est ridicule au vu des milliards impliqués dans cette affaire !
Les autorités internationales
n’envisagent toujours pas la moindre peine de prison et considèrent
qu’une simple contravention suffit à « réprimander » ces actes
criminels.
Le comptable Richard Murphy, militant de
longue date contre le statut fiscal de Jersey, estime que le « scandale
HSBC » est une infime partie de ce qui se pratique sur l’île.
D’après lui, toutes les agences bancaires ayant une filiale sur place son impliquées et HSBC est hors de contrôle.
Pour vous économiser du temps de recherche, voici une liste intéressante :

| | | blanchiement d'argent / accord négocié 1.9 milliards de $

| blanchiement d'argent / accord négocié 1.9 milliards de $ avec les autorités USen échange d'un abandon total des poursuites c'est plus cher que pour les trades frauduleux de GS, mais certainement pas grand chose au regard des sommes blanchies , même si cette amende de 1.9 $ milliards est un record dans l'histoire des pénalités négociées des banques . - Citation :
Please notice the statement that the $1.9 billion settlement would resolve inquiries by the Justice Department and the Manhattan DA. Shareholders receive a haircut, but as long as HSBC made over $1.9 billion in decades of money laundering, the crime paid off, and the settlement is merely the cost of doing big business.
HSBC is near a deal to pay $1.9 billion to settle U.S. regulators’ allegations that the bank for years ignored red flags about money laundering. That figure would be a record amount for a bank.
U.S. authorities are preparing to announce as early as Tuesday a $1.9 billion settlement with HSBC Holdings PLC to settle allegations the bank for years ignored red flags about money laundering, according to people familiar with the matter. That figure includes nearly $1.3 billion in forfeiture as part of a deferred prosecution agreement, which officials said was a record amount for a bank. The settlement would resolve multiple investigations conducted by Justice Department, the Treasury Department and other federal agencies, as well as the Manhattan district attorney.
