Halkbank Case!

The Halkbank (state-owned bank) case in America dragged on for years, allegedly stemming from a violation of the trade embargo with Iran, and was eventually closed without punishment. Hakan Atilla, the bank's deputy general manager, was arrested while on a business trip to America, served 28 months in prison, was released, returned to Türkiye, and three months later was appointed general manager of the Istanbul Stock Exchange, only to resign a year and four months later. I don't find this chain of events strange; I just wanted to record it for posterity.
