Updates needed
[edit]This article is OUT-OF-DATE:
- More investigation and fines have been imposed since this article was written (e.g. European Union Commission on Competition's investigation on FX manipulations concluded in 2021, etc).
- Many court complaints have been filed by pensioners and investors, globally, including at the Southern District of New York since 2016 (e.g Allianz Global Investors Et al v. Bank of Americap Corp. Et al).
- More arrests of FX traders have been made at those banks by authorities since 2018 (e.g. United States v. Aiyer).
Etc.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB91:1C75:1AFF:2438:3DDE:F620:841 (talk) 23:55, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Important contextualisation : What has been the estimated cost of the fraud ?
[edit]I see the Forex scandal is at least a decade long manipulation of $5.3 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market, and lead to $5.7billion fine. Ok. But what is the overall estimated cost of the fraud ? Yug (talk) 09:12, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- Agreed It is important to show how the fine relates to the crime, and without even an estimate of how much illegitimate money was made the $5.7 Billion is meaningless. I imagine they made a lot more than 5.7 Billion, but that is merely conjecture.Fractal618 (talk) 11:20, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- There are regulations involved in the supposed oversight agencies which are supposed to be monitoring the "financial industry" in the United States which precludes divulging the full extent of the financial rewards/gains coming from these criminal activities, regulations imposed specifically to hide the fact that these fines are symbolic and meaningless, so unless we have a whistle blower willing to divulge that information or unless we have Anonymous hack-n-crack suitable servers holding that information, it is not likely that citizens will ever be informed.
