Let us call this the Manhattan Project of the early 21st century. The stealth weapon is a ‘scarlet letter’, devised under Section 311 of the US Patriot Act. Once a bank is tainted in this way – accused of money-laundering or underwriting terrorist activities, a suitably loose offence – it becomes radioactive, caught in the ‘boa constrictor’s lethal embrace’.”
