During the late Seventies and Eighties a new logo began to jostle
for space with the more traditional landmarks on high streets
throughout Britain. It was the badge of a remarkable Third World
Bank...the BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International).BCCI
soon become a global corporate empire with former US Presidents,
ex-British Prime Ministers and a range of dictators on its payroll,
all helping with promoting the company. Tariq Ali was the first
public voice to warn that the Bank was not all it seemed to be.
Indeed, many of its own employees called BCCI the "Bank of Crooks
and Cheats Incorporated". Some political analysts also predicted
the companys collapse. The Bank finally imploded amidst a welter of
scandal. This revealing screenplay presents an account of the rise
and fall of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. Here,
Ali reveals how BCCI lasted so long, how financial regulators
failed to see what was going on and how BCCI pioneered a mode of
operation that prepared the way for an even greater financial
cataclysm, the fall of Enron.
