The Scandals of El Chapo and HSBC
from The Doomscroll Diaries · host Laura Sogar and Mae Planert
The girls are back from Mae's bachelorette in Mexico City so it felt only right to discuss one of the scariest businesses in the world... The Cartel. This story focuses on HSBC, a legit bank that also happened to enable the Sinaloa cartel to be REALLY good at their job (drug trafficking and murder). In part 1 we talk about El Chapo's history, how HSBC could really not be bothered to worry about anti-money laundering, and attempt to explain the Mexican Peso Crisis (lol). We also discuss Tom Brady's divorce (bye Tampa!), Edward Snowden, Kim Kardashian's SEC fine, and a couple in Brazil with the world's worst gender reveal party.
