These are still unproven allegations as of yet.&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Société Générale, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, JP Morgan have &lt;i&gt;provably&lt;/i&gt; done exactly that.&lt;p&gt;Yet there is only one C-suite level executive who is currently being held personally, criminally liable for corporate actions. I guarantee you won&amp;#x27;t be seeing Jamie Dimon threatened with prison time for JP Morgan&amp;#x27;s 87 violations of Iranian sanctions and Weapons of Mass Destruction sanctions, anytime soon.&lt;p&gt;Laws which are enforced selectively lack credibility.</text></comment>

The rule of law is indeed national, and legally the US has very little jurisdiction outside its borders. Extralegally, of course, it has plenty of powers to arrest, kill or torture those it doesn&amp;#x27;t like.</text></comment>
