3)" Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4) Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5) Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7) Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8) Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 10) Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11) Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12) Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Matthew 5:3-12

...So to the extent that the giant banks have engaged in any dishonest acts or the manipulation of currencies, they are violating scripture.
Of course, any bankers who charge usurious interest rates should remember the little story about Jesus turning over the money changers' tables.

How the Bankers Stole ChristmasChristmas is a time for forgiveness and none among us are infallible and none among us are without sin. Yet, to be forgiven, those that continually do wrong must repent, and bankers have yet to do anything that demonstrates that they have even the slightest amount of regret and remorse for the economic upheaval and chaos that they have created throughout the world in recent years. The rich, though they may not care to understand the tale of How the Bankers Stole Christmas now, should make it their prerogative to understand this as soon as possible. Why? The current course the bankers have set us on has ensured that the rich will soon become victims of desperate masses of people in their country that will see a huge degradation in their quality of life due to the recent monetary policies bankers have elected to impose upon their citizens. When large portions of the middle class are destroyed, masses of people that never considered stealing before, will steal and loot due to the simple instinct of survival, and a great battle between “the haves” and the “have nots” will ensue in future years in many developed countries, as crazy as this concept sounds today. Should the people choose to understand "How the Bankers Stole Christmas", the inevitable massive increase in crime that will accompany the sinking of the middle class into poverty can be avoided.
If instead, everyone chooses to buy into the propaganda of the bankers, then this same scenario, as crazy as it sounds today, will come true in the future just as the “crazy” stock market crashes I predicted in 2006 eventually materialized in 2008. And the biggest culprit of this shameful scenario, should it materialize, will embarrassingly be our own refusal to see the truth about how bankers have commandeered today’s “modern” monetary system for their own benefit, and their own benefit only, to the detriment of every single citizen they claim to be helping.
The Lord despises double standards of every kind.
Proverbs 20:10
Never pay back evil to anyone. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do your part to live in peace with everyone, as much as possible. Dear friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to God. For it is written, "I will take vengeance; I will repay those who deserve it," says the Lord.
Romans 12:17-19
Don't say, "I will get even for this wrong." Wait for the Lord to handle the matter.
Proverbs 20:22
