Information about BCCI
There's an immense amount of stuff about this notorious bank on the Web—some of it serious, some of it lunatic-fringe. Here are a couple of sober accounts of what happened. For more, try Google.
- 1992 Report on BCCI by Senator John Kerry and Senator Hank Brown to Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
- ERisk Case Study on BCCI (An excellent book on BCCI is A Full Service Bank: How BCCI Stole Billions Around the World, by James Ring Adams and Douglas Frantz.)
Information about money laundering
Again, lots on the web about this, but FATF and FinCEN are fine starting points (and fine acronyms, too).
