Yeah the important lesson here is that if charges like this are actually filed yer hosed. But it is also telling that this seems like a case protecting America's big banks, even if it is superficially an attack on corrupt executives.

It doesn't sound like the banks did anything criminal or even unseemly in this case (that's something I don't say every day), they're just doing their usual thing of moving money between accounts. So I believe Bank of America or whoever didn't know any more about the transactions than any other that its clients were making, but American laws govern transactions made through those banks.

Also if anyone's already pled guilty, they did so before being arrested and were actively assisting the investigation in exchange for a lighter sentence. So there's probably recordings of some of the juicer stuff including things that may not be under American jurisdiction but could be prosecuted elsewhere.

Another big limitation on Kissinger, Cheney et al. is what countries someone may have brought some holy water or a cross through customs at some point.
