[[Today's research is a smattering of sites that cumulatively peek into the
world of high finance. Recommend you save it, and add more info yourself
in the future. It's amazing how the www enables one to find the good, the
bad, and the ugly. This project began a few days ago, with the first
article below. There is undoubtedly more that should be included -- maybe
someone else can do that. All quotes are just excerpts.]

"the Vatican had good reason to believe they could succeed in becoming a
major competitor in the soybean business in the U.S., in a place the Pope
thought to be friendly to the Vatican's interests. What the Vatican and their
soybean executives did not know or understand is the operation of worldwide
criminal Marc Rich. Real name Reich, Rich laundered huge illegal flows of cash
masquerading as soybean trading in Chicago. Clandestine gold deals for the
American CIA were disguised by Rich and his gang as soybean deals, and
conversely, soybean trading disguised as smuggled gold deals.
"A principal partner to Marc Rich and his pirates has been the Family of
George Herbert Walker Bush---that is, the Elder Bush and his sons, George W.,
Jeb, and Neil. As shown by secret Federal Reserve wire transfer records, the
Bush Family laundered the proceeds from worldwide illegal dealings through a
joint account with the Queen of England, through the Bank owned by the British
Monarch, Coutts Bank London. [Visit our website series, with documents there
shown, 'Greenspan Aids and Bribes Bush'.]"

District Attorney - New York County, Press Release ((indictment of
above))
http://www.manhattanda.org/whatsnew/press/2000-03-02.htm"The
investigation also revealed that the defendants induced Coutts & Co. A.G., a
Swiss subsidiary of a British bank, to make $32 million in loans by leading
Coutts & Co. A.G. to believe that they had the necessary regulatory gaming
licenses needed to operate gaming companies in Washington. As the defendants
knew, the loans were not sufficiently collateralized by the artificially
inflated stock in their company. Coutts lost $28 million when the loans, which
had been made by the bank's New York office, were not
repaid."
