    Hey ColdFusion viewers, my latest video is about the rise and fall of Credit Suisse, one of the most popular banks in the world.
    I uploaded the video yesterday but unfortunately the file had a bit of an audio glitch, which a lot of you rightly pointed out. So I have decided to re-upload the video again - properly this time!
    I greatly value your feedback, so thank you for raising these issues. I want to make ColdFusion better and ensure quality with each new upload.

      the US has enforced tax legislation on the Swiss (and pretty much globally) which forces disclosure by tax havens of US citizens details. FATCA, which stands for the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, was enacted by the US Congress in 2010. This is just part of the US dollar fall from grace and undoing of the global banking system so reliant as it is on the dollar.

      That’s no longer how it works with Swiss Banks. It’s been at least 10 years since this change took place (I forget the exact timeframe) think there was an excuse being used regarding hiding Nazi $’s and gold. The days of getting a Swiss Banking # and staying completely anonymous are over.
      If those fking politicians in our Government have their way we’ll be moving to an all electronic banking system. One where they can track every single transaction and move you make.
      Stop listening to CNN and MSNBC and other Lib/Dem propaganda networks. You’ll never know what’s actually going on in our country and the world. You’ll still think that 15 Saudis/Middle Easterners hijacked and crashed the planes in 911, think Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation and just recently be hearing about it, that Joe Biden isn’t the real Manchurian Candidate…that he and Hunter didn’t take 10% of a $150M fund setup by the Chinese, take $3M from the Mayor of Moscow, Russia’s Wife or not have over 100 SARS reports generated for suspicious wire transactions.

    My father served as a government agent from the 1950s until the early 2000s. As part of his duties, he arranged documents and financial transactions with Credit Suisse for agents who worked overseas. The bank's reputation for not asking any questions, let alone verifying identities, made the process far easier back then than it is today. It is ironic, however, that this very practice has led to the bank's demise, as it is now well known for such activities.

      It's extraordinarily difficult to prove an individual's involvement in a company's crimes, so the company is punished and not any person.

I'm not even sure if a individual can be charged with those crimes.

      The AT-1 Bonds in question were made as a response to the 2008 crisis to shift risk away from taxpayers to bondholders.
      As high-risk high-reward bonds, they are meant to be wiped out if companies do not comply with Basel 3 norms as a loss-absorbing mechanism.
      CS's AT-1 saved 16 billions of potential tax payer money and this did what they were meant to do.

    The other big problem with the Credit Suisse "bailout" is how they made bondholders with the right to convert their bonds to shares lose everything but NOT shareholders. That's going to have a permanent chilling effect and lasting damage on the bond market, and WILL increase borrowing costs for all the surviving businesses when bondholders know that they might get wiped out while the shareholders aren't fully wiped out.

      The AT-1 Bonds in question were made as a response to the 2008 crisis to shift risk away from taxpayers to bondholders.
      As high-risk high-reward bonds, they are meant to be wiped out if companies do not comply with Basel 3 norms as a loss-absorbing mechanism.
      CS's AT-1 saved 16 billions of potential tax payer money and this did what they were meant to do.
      If investors invest in very risky bonds by a bank with notoriously bad risk management they need to expect losses or question their own risk management.

      Don't forget, it's not just any bond. It's AT1 bonds also known as contingent convertibles (CoCo), which are designed like that. If the bank's capital falls below a threshold they can be converted to equitiy or written off. If all goes well they earn you good, so it's still the old rule "high gain -> high risk, low risk -> low gain"

    2:22 Why is there no mention of the reason why Credit Suisse was in such a position? By that I mean the position of being the only European bank that had the assets (gold, really) to be considered stable enough to make loans.
    Let's just say, for monetization purposes, they had almost all of the gold in European banks because they had as clients the government and the wealthy citizenry of a certain Germanic people. Oh, and this was in the mid-1930s, until the mid-1940s, in Europe. If I'm not mistaken, this would coincide with the growth of certain parties (not the fiesta type of party, btw) in the population of said Germanic people. I'm pretty sure that, as a direct result of such party growth, a big war was started. This war was so big that almost every single person in the world was affected by it for a few generations at least. And this was the second time in that century that such a war had started in Europe. At the end of such a war, Credit Suisse was the only bank in continental Europe that had any gold. That's why they survived that period of war. And, as a result, that is why they were able to provide loans after the war ended.
    It's almost like a slow burn, karmic style.
    In other words, it's no wonder there was a lack of morals and of ethical behavior in the highest levels of the bank. These were some of the people who had either personally dealt with the leaders of those warring Germanic people, or had learned directly from those who had dealt with those clients.
    I'm not surprised that, at a time of loose money and looser morals, a corporation with the history possessed by Credit Suisse making the types of decisions they made, is not unforeseeable.

    I would really like you to cover robbery (in lack of better terms) of Balkan people through CHF credits during early 2010's. It was one of worst debt related crysis in Europe without anyone knowing or care about it. People commited suicides because they couldn't pay credits that would be considered as shark loans anywhere else in Europe.

    • @brdrnda3805
      @brdrnda3805 Рік тому +2

      I don't agree with the "shark loans" thing. At least, it's not how I remember the story. People were lured into CHF loans because of the quite low interest rates (so no shark loans), but failed to realize the risk coming with loans in foreign currency - and the CHF is particularly dangerous in that regards as it's a quite strong currency. Taking loans in stronger currency is really not a good idea.

Acting all surprised what a bunch of crooks they actually are is just silly. Same is true for the Deutsche Bank since the Ackermann period at minimum. Those banks need to be split not merged to alleviate the problems.
