Addendum - the very same French authorities who did the raiding, and after processing the alleged fraud and laundering suspects, will be found driving new cars to their new summer villas.

The French authorities on the take is tradition. The only reason the bank got raided is probably because they didn't cough up enough for the pay to play rules for Macron's New Shoes Fund.

These guys are criminals, and you’re like “actually the authorities are the ones who want to do crime more, the banks were smart because they didn’t abide by the law for a something something (I made-up) shoe fund”. Crazy logic

Whereas in america, they will never be held to account for anything. Certainly no jail. Atleast France has the wherewithall to attempt to hold these guys accountable without a pretense of political pressure.

And yet all "bankers and banks are criminals" adds to to the conversation. Lol
