re "can now conclude that the banker is a cretin and did what cretins do, clueless and without a viable plan, absent backstop and minus a plan B." For a defense attorney that's the perfect client: a scared rich guy who screwed up big time! ;) In the US the guy would sweat it out for a while, and then his attorney and the prosecutor could start to "plea bargain". For a first-time offender on a case like this, he might plead guilty to the lesser charge of illegal assembly provided that the more serious charge are dropped. He might pay a fine plus court costs, and receive a light suspended jail sentence (conditional on avoiding further trouble for a year or so). Does HK allow such plea bargaining? Is there trial by jury?
