My only first-hand experience of Standard Chartered has been in Africa, where at least some of their operation involved changing hardish currencies like the pound and the dollar into and out of the local Mickey Mouse money.
I would imagine they also do much the same in Asia.

If that's an important part of their business it might hit them quite hard
if its US banking licence were revoked. .

Their boss has admitted they've "made mistakes."
Bankspeak for "committed a few crimes?"
