I wasn't addressing the veracity or otherwise of the "100% success rate" claim, I was using a different quote from the article that was linked, stating the UK's financial regulator told a whistleblower to not contact them again.
Here's another quote from it:
Newsnight can reveal that not a single UK-
based bank has ever been punished for firing
a whistleblower within its ranks - even though
these individuals are protected in law
Debating whether the UK is the worst or not, or whether financial firms have a 100% or perhaps merely just a 86.4% success rate at destroying honest people's lives and/or careers is a distraction.
The issue is that the UK has serious corruption and (organized) crime problems, seemingly tolerated (at best) at some of the highest levels in the UK.
However hyperbolic you may find the journalism to be, it's a lot more instructive and interesting than yet another bullshit list designed to show just how jolly honest and law abiding we are, compared to the developing world.
