What does hsbc have to do with these Hong Kong BNOs?

HSBC is the most popular bank in Hong Kong and as a result where most people's social security / 401K equivalent (MPF) is held.

BNOs want to dip into their MPF funds in HSBC because they're broke but the bank is having none of it.

they can take what they learnt from the CIA and Australian intelligence and apply it in London. Make sure you got plenty of fire wizards this time, and maybe a couple of medics (god, you can tell the CIA is full of nerds and geeks as well as theatre kids with their obsession over Les Miserables).

It seems like the UK tried to steal £3.25 billion from HSBC to pay their bankrupt Hong Kong BNOs. The Bank didn't even bother to show up.

It is just showboating by the UK government. The UK will take/steal anything they can, history shows this.

There is nothing they can do because these funds are in HK. If they try to seize funds located in China, that will be a very bad precedent for themselves.

The bank isn't going to show up for a nonsense hearing that has no legal bearing.
