I thought Bert Lance only gave his wife million-plus dollars of unsecured sweetheart loans fron the Calhoun National Kank?? You mean he robbed from other banks and savings and loans as well all to cross Jimmah's palms?!!
The tab was picked up by the federal S & L bailout no doubt.
When he got in hot water for this he had to sell the bank and did sell it to 1st American Bancshares, who in turn was owned/conreolled by BCCI. Clark Clifford was Chairman of 1st American Bancshares along with his partner in Clifford & Warnke, Robert Altman.
BCCI's counsel in the United States was Clifford & Warnke, whose lead partner was of course Clark Clifford.
See how this hangs together? I watched Clark Clifford testify in Congress about this and he swore up and down that he did not know of BCCI's actions with 1st American, yet he was senior partner in Clifford & Warnke.
The Feds let him get away with that, but the old sleezebag was dirty as they come.
