法律面前必须人人平等

伦敦金融城警方显然处在一个尴尬的境地，因为据说JC Flowers对提出指控的兴趣不大。从历史上看，英国在涉及白领犯罪的案件时，对罪犯判以长期徒刑的意愿不如香港或美国那么强烈，这一点令人遗憾。没有公认受害者的坚定支持，证明不法之徒有罪的可能性便迅速降低。

But there is good reason why an investigation — no matter how difficult — would still be in the public interest. Apart from the fact that a crime appears to have been committed, it is important that those engaged in relationships of trust — such as JC Flowers, which manages millions for investors — co-operate with authorities and that such episodes are not swept under the carpet. Mr Sinha's defence that he would have been given permission by head office to charge what were, in effect, fees for nothing had he asked beforehand may be self-serving nonsense. But equally, it raises questions about private equity's arbitrary fee structure that many in the industry might be uncomfortable answering. Britain's financial sector should employ practices that stand up to scrutiny. By opting to abandon an inquiry, neither justice nor transparency has been served.

但我们有充分理由认为，推进相关调查——无论调查过程会多么艰难——仍是符合公众利益的。除了犯罪似乎已经发生这一点之外，涉及信任关系的相关方——例如为投资者管理着海量资金的JC Flowers——应与有关部门合作，让这类事情无处隐藏，这一点很重要。辛哈辩解说，如果他事先请示，总部应该也会同意他收取这笔实际上可谓是无缘由的费用。这话或许是他为自身开脱的无稽之谈，但它另一方面也引发了人们对于私人股本公司这种随意式收费结构的疑问。面对此疑问，该行业的许多从业者或许都难以坦然地给出答案。英国金融业的各种做法要经得起外界的审视。若选择放弃调查，沦为牺牲品的便是公正与透明。
