Bankster[2]: banker + gangster

Finantza-Bibliak, alegia The Economist aldizkariak, horrela ere definitu zituen bankariak[3].

Aipatutako artikuluan esaten zaigu gaurko krisia nola sortu zuten bankster-ek.

Kasu, Britainia Handiko bankuen Bankuak, hots Barclais bankuak, zer nolako eragiketak eta operazioak bultzatu zituen azpimarratuz.

Baina afera globalagoa zen[4]: “…many of the biggest names in finance: the likes of Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, UBS, Deutsche Bank and HSBC. Employees, from New York to Tokyo, are implicated.”

PS: Aferak bere horretan dirau[5].

[2] Ikus http://lexicon.ft.com/Term?term=banksters. Ingelesez: “Bankster is a derogatory term and is often used to refer to members of the banking industry who use dishonest or fraudulent means to make money. The term is said to have been coined by Leon Degrelle, a right wing journalist, in the 1930s. It is a contraction of the terms gangster and banker and is frequently applied in situations where vulnerable people have been exploited, such as in the US subprime loan scandal that precipitated the 2007/2008 financial crisis.”
