COMMENTARY
Vikram S Pandit Citigroup CEO 399 Park Ave New York NY, 10043 Email: ********@citigroup.com More info: CEO of Citigroup I am very concerned about the huge scale of highly profitable anti-social activities around the world, whether it is related to addictive drugs, human trafficking in its various forms, bribery, corruption and diversion of public funds and such. It is my experience in a career that started almost 50 years ago that the major international banks are less than totally honest and transparent about their engagement with clients or customers that most likely are wealthy because of some connection with profitable anti-social activities. While the 99% has many issues with the behavior of banks and big corporations, this is an issue that concerns me greatly. My friends around the world are quite disgusted that many of the rich leadership and business elites are able to build wealth outside their countries when one would think that the laws do not allow it. What can I do to help end practices in international finance that have the result of impoverishing communities and nations. The infamous 1% are very creative. Please help to move to a new era of banking where social value is more important than merely enterprise profit. Peter Burgess @truevaluemetric http://truevaluemetrics.org
