They will appear at Westminster Magistrates court at a date to be confirmed. (source)
LIBOR is an interbank benchmark used to set the interest rates on trillions in loans all over the world.
The investigation into LIBOR’s deliberate manipulation began in 2008, and it has come to light that traders at various banks all over the world have benefited financially from turning in false interest rate reports since.....

“NAMING NAMES
Printed in the Wall Street Journal:
“In the District Court lawsuit, Spire Law Group, LLP - on behalf of home owners across the Country and New York taxpayers, as well as under other taxpayer recompense laws - has expanded its mass tort action into federal court in Brooklyn, New York, seeking to halt all foreclosures nationwide pending the return of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000.00) by the “Banksters” and their co-conspirators, seeking an audit of the Fed and audits of all the “bailout programs” by an independent receiver such as Neil Barofsky, former Inspector General of the TARP program who has stated that none of the TARP money and other “bailout money” advanced from the Treasury has ever been repaid despite protestations to the contrary by the Defendants as well as similar protestations by President Obama and the Obama Administration both publicly on national television and more privately to the United States Congress.
The national group of plaintiff home owners are expanding the lawsuit to include racketeering, money laundering and intentional violations of the Iranian Nations Sanctions and Embargo Act by the national banks included among the “Bankster” Defendants. “
Some of the alleged conspirators are:
Attorney General Holder, Assistant Attorney General Tony West, the brother in law of Defendant California Attorney General Kamala Harris, Jon Corzine (former New Jersey Governor), Robert Rubin (former Treasury Secretary and Bankster), Timothy Geitner, Treasury Secretary, Vikram Pandit (recently resigned and disgraced Chairman of the Board of Citigroup), Valerie Jarrett (a Senior White House Advisor), Anita Dunn (a former “communications director” for the Obama Administration), Robert Bauer (husband of Anita Dunn and Chief Legal Counsel for the Obama Re-election Campaign), as well as the “Banksters” themselves, and their affiliates and conduits. “

Less than 10 days before the Presidential Election. Just hearing about this in Feb. ‘14.???
This helps
People in the press ‘got the message’
I think the US DOTreas was looted. People got away with it, and have their Swiss/Vatican bank accounts.
Now, it’s becoming critical to make sure nothing can touch Hillary and those politicians who are leaving. There is about to be a sea change in the world.
My 2 cents
LIBOR isn’t going away.
I hope your right. These people are outright stealing money from the Treasury and thumbing their noses at everyone else. If Holder is named in the suit as a Conspirator, how can he deny Special counsel for this or any other reason. Something is rotten, more than usual. I think your “Sea Change” idea is sound. Within 30 days the markets will crash. Many more Bankers will be jumping out of windows.
They also have the ministry of funny walks.
I think...I remember having heard of that one!
Funny. Even for theft, we use French words.
