Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was a major international bank. At its peak, it operated in 78 countries and had over 400 branches and claimed assets of $25 billion. It was embroiled in the world's worst financial scandal in 1991. It was found to be involved in money laundering, bribery, support of terrorism, arms trafficking, and other crimes. When the bank collapsed, $13 billion was unaccounted for. posted by mlwadd01 2004-04-07 12:45:08
