WHAT ARE THE ODDS?Libor scandal grows as the fathers of two mass murderers were to testifyIn the wake of the mass murders that took place in www.examiner.com/topic/newtown Connecticut on Dec. 14, information on the shooter, and his family, isslowly being discovered by law enforcement other sources. Oneinteresting connection to the tragedy that took place at the Sandy Hookschool is that the father of Adam www.examiner.com/topic/lanza has a connection to the theater shootings that took place in www.examiner.com/topic/aurora earlier this year by James Holmes.Both fathers of the shooters were allegedly expected to testify in the www.examiner.com/topic/libor scandal that rocked the banking world in June.The father of Newtown Connecticut school shooter AdamLanza is Peter Lanza who is a VP and Tax Director at GE Financial. Thefather of Aurora Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes is RobertHolmes, the lead scientist for the credit score company FICO. Both menwere to testify before the US Sentate in the ongoing LIBOR scandal. TheLondon Interbank Offered Rate, known as Libor, is the average interestrate at which banks can borrow from each other. 16 international bankshave been implicated in this ongoing scandal, accused of riggingcontracts worth trillions of dollars. HSBC has already been fined $1.9billion and three of their low level traders arrested.Ladies and gentlemen, we have a motive and a link. Thiscoincidence is impossible to overlook. Two mass shootings connected toLIBOR. - beforeitsnews.com/economics-and-politics/2012/12/2-mass-shoo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libor_scandal is the internal banking interest rate that major financial institutionsdetermine each day for lending purposes between each facility. Thisrate is then translated to the interest rates used for mortgages,student loans, credit cards, and nearly every interest bearing loan inthe world. Manipulation of the Libor rate has resulted in hundreds ofbillions, if not trillions of dollars in fraudulent payments made bybillions of customers throughout the financial world.For similar events on the magnitude of both Aurora and Newtown tohold a connection to one of the greatest financial scandals in thehistory of finance is astronomically slim in regards to coincidence. Infact, neither shooter had a history with firearm proficiency, and theoutcome of each www.examiner.com/topic/shooting showed an expertise many trained military personnel could not achieve.This leaves the question of where they got their training, or if therewas another plot involved which allowed these young men to perform theactions they did with such precision.While the coming days will bring forth more pertinent information onthe motives, access, and failures of both community and family todiagnose the events leading up to Adam Lanza's killing spree, one thingis becoming disturbingly clear. The connections between the Auroramassacre, and the one that took place in Newtown on Friday, may have farmore ramifications to the people involved in the Libor scandal thananyone could imagine.
