J.P. Morgan and a growing list of banks are banning employees from staying at hotels owned by the Sultan of Brunei while traveling for business.

have also banned employees from staying at nine luxury hotels owned by the small, Southeast Asian nation, according to Financial News Network.

Earlier this month, Brunei introduced laws that make gay sex punishable by death by stoning. Adultery, rape, sodomy, extramarital sexual relations for Muslims, robbery, and insult or defamation of the Prophet Muhammad are also banned — and prosecuted the same way. Homosexuality has always been illegal in the small, oil-rich nation, but the new, stricter Islamic laws introduce the death penalty as punishment.

last month, Clooney said, while you can't shame "murderous regimes," you can "shame the banks, the financiers and the institutions that do business with them and choose to look the other way."
