Banks

from Who Killed Haing Ngor? · host Mary Patricia Nunan

In 1995, Haing Ngor tried to sell a license to open a bank in Cambodia. When the deal collapsed, police records say the buyer, “Larry,” threatened to kill him. That single detail sends Who Killed Haing Ngor? into one of another corner of post-war Cambodia: a banking system flooded with corruption and increasingly, organized crime. In this episode, Patricia Nunan traces how Cambodia went from abolishing money under the Khmer Rouge to becoming a Wild West financial playground in the 1990s. Was Ngor’s bank license just a failed business deal? Or was it tied to something much larger — an early sign of a criminal economy that still shapes Cambodia today? The episode also follows the larger question at the center of Season 3: If Ngor’s murder is linked to international business disputes, then who in Cambodia would have the ability  - and the willingness – to kill him in Los Angeles?
