Interestingly, First Hawaiian’s ownership structure leads back to Nadhmi Auchi, a former Iraqi Baathist official of Saddam Hussein’s government, who more recently financed business ventures with now-convicted-felon and Chicago political ‘fixer’ Tony Rezko creating a condition of “longstanding indebtedness” of Rezko to Auchi’s holding company. Rezko funded the political campaigns of impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and President Barack Obama. Rezko also assisted Obama in the purchase of his Chicago mansion.

“Founded in 1858, First Hawaiian is a unit of BancWest Corp., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas, France’s largest bank by market value.....”
To put the pieces together, here are a selection of articles on Barack Obama, Rod Blagojevich, Tony Rezko, and Nadhmi Auchi, once described as BNP Paribas’ largest private shareholder:

Update Jan 31: Hear Malu Motta tapes — “Like, he did them like nothin’, know what I mean?”
The Advertiser Jan 29 reports on the opening of the Pali shooter trial:
Ethan “Malu” Motta of Hilo will be represented by Charles Carnesi, whose clients include accused Gambino crime family scion John “Junior” Gotti, in a racketeering and murder trial....Where the money is coming from to pay Carnesi’s fees and expenses — estimated by some court observers to be potentially in the hundreds of thousands of dollars — is not known....
Well, here is a guess....
Admitted Pali Golf Course shooter Ethan “Malu” Motta apparently had a lot of friends in Hilo—including politicians. Nine months after the January 7, 2004 O`ahu murders, hundreds of Motta’s friends gathered at Hilo’s Nani Mau Gardens to raise funds to help pay his legal fees. Billy Kenoi spoke at the event. Stacey Higa says he was given tickets. One source indicates “700 to 1,000 people” were there. The $100 tickets for the October 30, 2004 “Gathering at the Garden” invite supporters “to share this beautiful evening with family, friends and dignitaries in support of a very special man we love dearly.” A ticket obtained by Hawai`i Free Press, says the event was “Hosted by Billy K.
