卢特警告称：“我们以前看到过这种情节，结局都很惨。

The warnings may have been eventually heeded, but not soon enough. Senate investigators claim HSBC ignored warnings of possibly improper activities from internal compliance officers, law enforcement officials and regulators; flouted rules designed to enforce existing US sanctions; and waived anti-money laundering requirements for wealthy clients.

人们可能终于注意到了这些警告，但不够早。参议院调查人员声称，汇丰没有理会内部合规官、执法官员和监管者发出的可能存在不正当行为的警告；藐视旨在落实美国现行制裁政策的规定；免除对富有客户的反洗钱要求。

The findings and allegations in the Senate report are said by people familiar with the matter to mirror those discovered by US authorities.

据知情人士称，参议院这份报告的这些发现和指控与美国当局的发现相似。

HSBC has not publicly denied the allegations.

汇丰银行没有公开否认这些指控。

The Senate panel spent years -probing HSBC as part of its examination of the US financial system’s vulnerability to the laundering of narcotics proceeds and terrorist financing.

参议院调查小组委员会花费多年时间对汇丰进行调查，这是针对美国金融体系的更广泛调查的一部分，其目的是查出整个体系中存在的、便以贩毒组织洗钱和恐怖分子进行融资的漏洞和缺陷。
