The CIA, the KGB, MI6, and all sorts of helpful official government
agencies on all sides of the Cold War thought they were using BCCI as a
front, when it turned out the super-crooks were using them. If some
"trusted" big dude didn't abscond with several hundred millions, the bank
would not have been closed by the Bank of England who didn't give a hoot
what MI6 thought -- they were just trying to protect their rich British
investors. What a mess. 


(FYI: Some CIA agent was quoted in the NYT giving the Bank of Credit and
Commerce Inc. the rubric: "Bank of Crooks and Criminals, Inc.")


So, who's to stop the next generation BCCI from creating the most
attractive 3d party Crypto Trust Certificate Depository. Does low bidder win?


I think we're being set up for the scam of the Century by a bunch of naive
Feds. Follow the money -- always.
