They had plenty of help

Statement from UK Treasury --

HM Treasury warns businesses of serious threats posed to the international financial system
Important:

This constitutes advice issued by HM Treasury about serious threats posed to the integrity of the international financial system.


There is certainly enough material for such a warning, one would think. So what do they mean? Er, the huge threat to the financial system posed by some banking transactions in Iran, Pakistan, São Tomé & Príncipe , Uzbekistan and northern Cyprus. It's not clear which of these fiendish countries came with over the counter credit default swaps.
