BusinessSix Of The World's Biggest Banks To Pay $5.8 Billion For Currency-rigging(FOREX) by Truth234(op): 3:21pm On May 20, 2015
Six of the world’s biggest banks will pay $5.8 billion and five of them agreed to plead guilty to charges tied to a currency-rigging probe as they seek to wind down almost half a decade of enforcement actions.

Citicorp, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Barclays Plc and Royal Bank of Scotland Plc agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to manipulate the price of U.S. dollars and euros in settlements with the Justice Department announced in Washington Wednesday. The main banking unit of UBS Group AG agreed to plead guilty to charges related to interest-rate manipulation. The Swiss bank, the first to cooperate with antitrust investigators, was granted immunity in the currency probe.

The four banks that agreed to plead guilty to currency charges are among the world’s biggest foreign-exchange traders. They were accused of colluding to influence benchmark rates by aligning positions and pushing transactions through at the same time. Traders who described themselves as members of “The Cartel” used online chat rooms to discuss their positions in the minutes before the rates were set, the Justice Department said.

“By agreeing not to buy or sell at certain times, the traders protected each other’s trading positions by withholding supply of or demand for currency and suppressing competition in the FX market,” the government said in a statement.

The accords bring the total fines and penalties paid by the five banks to resolve the currency investigations to about $9 billion, the Justice Department said.

In the settlement with the Justice Department, Citigroup Inc. will pay $925 million, the highest of the banks penalized. Barclays agreed to a fine of $650 million. JPMorgan will pay $550 million, and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc agreed to a $395 million fine. UBS will pay $203 million.

Separately, the Federal Reserve imposed fines of more than $1.6 billion on the five banks for “unsafe and unsound practices.” Barclays will pay an additional $1.3 billion as part of settlements with the New York Department of Financial Services, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority.

The Fed also fined Bank of America Corp. $205 million.

You don't have much to be worried about, just face your studies and don't dabble into shady business. Like every other country, there is racism but its nothing too serious.

And where is the demand? The issue is not investing, the issue is there is no demand for leisure of such capacity in Nigeria. Whites don't need to be rich to have fun and can clear afford club merchandise.

Our income per head is just too low. You think Dangote is thinking about the people first? Its Supply and Demand first !

SportsAliko Dangote Confirms Interest In Buying Arsenal FC by Truth234(op): 8:04am On May 05, 2015
Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, has said he still wants to buy Arsenal despite failing in a 2010 bid to acquire a stake in the club.

The Nigerian billionaire is now worth nearly eight times as much as when he tried to buy into the Gunners, and the passionate Gooners has not given up on his dream of getting involved with the north London club.

“I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team,” Dangote, 58, told Bloomberg.

“I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist," he continued, before ominously adding, "I know my strategy.

Interestingly, Dangote has publically stated that Arsene Wenger “needs to change his style a bit,” claiming the team "need new direction.” but his bid to take over the club won't be coming immediately, with the cement and commodities tycoon wanting to get his portfolio of businesses in order first.

“We have $16 billion-worth of investments in the next few years,” he said. “Right now I want to take my own business to a certain level. Once I finish on that trajectory, then maybe [an offer will follow.]"

Majority owner Kroenke recently bought more shares in Arsenal, and is not believed to have any interest in selling the club.

Dangote - valued at over US$15billion - is worth more than both Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke and Uzbek Billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who have been fighting for control at the Emirates in recent years.

Big excuse, the injury wasn't on the medical form and yet they want to take shot. That was the juice they denied him, if not we would have seen the Manny that throw endless punches a round, even with all the combinations Floyd throw more punches than him.

One sided fight.

Please haters, respect the legend and ring scientist - folks like him only come around once in a lifetime.

Be grateful you witnessed the greatness of Flyod "Money and Pretty Boy" Mayweather.

The counter-punching skills of James Toney (another Michigan legend), with the defensive genius of Pernell Whitaker, and the ring intelligence of the great Muhammed Ali - in one. That's greatness right there.

The champ!

I'm out!!
And thanks for the comments. Good to have people that actually understand this sport on here.

GogetterMD:
Be warned, Manny Pacquiao can shock. On 6 December 2008 he stepped up two weight divisions to take on the decorated American Oscar de la Hoya at the MGM Grand and physically dismantled his opponent, punishing blow by punishing blow.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think Manny Pacquiao would be the fighter he was that night," said De La Hoya, who retired after round eight. "He never stopped throwing punches. That win catapulted him to new heights."
Mayweather won DelaHoya two years before Many fought washed up DelaHoya at catch weight. Mayweather fought him at 154, DelaHoya comfortable weight while Manny asked him to drop weight to 147. Mayweather beat you at your best!
SportsRe: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Truth234(m): 4:32pm On May 02, 2015
SirShymexx:
He just wants a big pay check without earning it. I think that was also why he signed with Al Haymon.

I don't even think Mayweather will fight him. Fighting Pacman twice and retiring makes more business sense than fighting Amir Khan and his glass jaw. And he has only one fight left before he retires. Hopefully, he'll stay away from Khan and let him earn greatness by fighting folks on his level.

Khan is just an average boxer - he needs to focus on Kell Brook. Heck, there are few boxers in his weight class that will knock him out.
That is exactly my fear, Mayweather Vs Manny II is going to be bigger if this fight is close. No one will even remember Kahn again lol

SirShymexx:
Lol. You remember the slogan for Ricky Hatton? - Gooo, Rickyyy Hatton!!! Till the left hook took him to sleep and he was never the same after that. grin

I don't even count Chisora as a boxer - he's more of a wannabe roadman from Zimbabwe who got into boxing, with his link to some naija dons (Uncles) from North London. He isn't even decent - not ratings. Even with his fake road nonsense - David Haye showed him what a real roadman from Peckham looks like. He's a bum.

Trust me, I used to like Amir Khan - but the doozy talks too much with his glass jaw, despite how poor boxers keep knocking him out everywhere. He thinks he's better than he's. At least Ricky Hatton, in his prime, did beat a couple of decent fighters and world champions. Kostya Tszyu and Castillo. Who has Amir Khan fought?

The UK has a decent young wave of new talents - and I'm focusing on them.
Yeah, he said a lot of unnecessary things when this fight was announced. Saying Mayweather took the easy way out as if he is better than Manny but I think that was because he thought he was the next in line and Mayweather opt for Manny.
SportsRe: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Truth234(m): 3:38pm On May 02, 2015
SirShymexx:
Lol.

The whole country was behind Hatton - the last great British hope, after the greatness of Lennox Lewis. But when he took that sweet left hook, everyone almost cried. I remember that fight - it was my first year in Uni, and I watched it in a pub. Memories. Both St. George's flag and Union Jack were everywhere in that pub - and Brits were the loudest in vegas that night. grin

Reminiscent of David Haye Vs. Wladimir Klitschko - another hype who flopped. grin Can't be supporting flops, man. grin

Khan won't get the same support in the UK.
What about Chisoro Vs Klitschko? Another flop but trust me Kahn has British support already, Hatton and other retired boxers are have started calling for it but why do you hate Kahn nah?

UK wants to see a Brit in a big bout, but not everyone will support him - peep the difference. A lot of folks don't like Amir Khan, and rightfully so. He talks too much. He definitely won't get the same support Ricky Hatton got.

As for Arab Muslims, good for them - they haven't had any decent boxer with Arab ancestry, since Prince Naseem Hamed (my nyggah).

But boxing purists don't care about Khan. grin
Lol.. grin grin
SportsRe: Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao - Boxing by Truth234(m): 3:10pm On May 02, 2015
SirShymexx:
Khan isn't that big. Is he on PPV? So, why can't he fight as an undercard? He thinks he's bigger than he's and that isn't the case.

Khan fought a washed up Judah, while Mayweather fought a prime Zab Judah - peep the difference. And that fight was too dirty, on Judah's part, to even make any sense whatsoever. Judah never went there to box, he went to rough Mayweather up and play all kinds of dirty games. I don't even count that fight, to be honest.
One thing I am sure is he would get his shot, UK and the entire middle East are behind him.
