BCCI: The Most Corrupt Bank in the World
from Great Business Stories · host Caemin
This is the remarkable story of how Agha Abedi built BCCI, a global bank founded in Pakistan that was revered by its ordinary customers and employees. Abedi was seen as more than just a banker- a visionary and philanthropist. But there was a second bank within the bank called the Dark Network, and this secret side of the bank provided special services for corrupt politicians, funded wars, washed Pablo Escobar’s drug money, facilitated the murky dealings of MI6, the CIA among others and then it all came crashing down from an undercover operation straight out of the movies . It’s a fascinating story- enjoy.
