What's your bank up to?

If it's a bank that's dependent on the US government (Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo etc.) probably no good.

So much of what's wrong with the government's' behavior today had its foundations in the the 1980s Iran Contra operations and government drug dealing around the Vietnam War.

For example, the tale of BCCI, affectionately known by researchers as the Bank of Crooks and Criminals.

BCCI helped many governments - including the US government and its many crooked players - make payoffs to foreign powers. It also facilitated the arms trade, the illegal drug trade and the terror trade.

The CIA and the DIA was in it up to its arm pits.
