Corporate media would like to press the narrative that it was just a complicated banking scandal with nothing of interest to the citizenry.....BUT....BCCI matters actually included other scandals like IranContra, CIA drug running, funding of global terrorism, and even led to exposing of S&L crimes. 9-11 has its roots in BCCI.

BCCI is the reason many powerful people (including a few powerful Dems) needed to keep Kerry out of the WH.

Artist Mark Lombardi's graphics were based in great part to BCCI documents and testimony.
