“I always thought Jesse Senior was an arms dealer, which would explain his amazing success negotiating hostage deals with Third World thugs, and that friend of his who got arrested several years ago trying to peddle missiles in Florida.”

BCCI CLIENTS OFFERED PROSTITUTES, HILL TOLD - FORMER OFFICER ALSO DETAILS EFFORT BY BANK TO COURT JESSE JACKSON
Washington Post - Thursday, March 19, 1992

Drug-money laundering, bribery, arms merchants and noteworthy politicians. The global scandal of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International had almost everything it needed to be a major motion picture — except sex. Now it has that, too
Nazir Chinoy, former head of BCCI’s French and African operations, testified yesterday before a Senate subcommittee that the international bank’s Pakistan office regularly arranged for teenage girls to be brought in from the countryside to “take care of any personal needs” of the wealthy Middle Eastern clients of the bank.

Chinoy, who has pleaded guilty to drug-money laundering in Tampa and is cooperating with U.S. investigators, also added the name of Jesse Jackson to the list of U.S. friends of BCCI, including former president Jimmy Carter, who benefited from BCCI’s financial largesse. The bank paid the hotel bills of Jackson , his wife and several others in his party during two trips to Paris in late 1985, Chinoy said. The expenses were about $11,000 for the two stays, Chinoy said.
Shortly after he arrived in Paris in 1985, Chinoy said, he received a telephone call from Aga Hasan Abedi, BCCI’s founder, telling him that Jackson would be coming to Paris after visiting Abedi in London. Chinoy picked up Jackson and his party at the train station and made arrangements for him to stay in the suite where Abedi usually stayed at the Paris Hilton. BCCI paid about $4,000 in expenses for Jackson on that trip, Chinoy said.
Chinoy told Senate investigators that after leaving Paris, Jackson went to Africa, where he encouraged state banks to open accounts at BCCI, an allegation Jackson denied. Jackson then returned to Paris, this time requesting that he and his party stay in a suite at the more elegant George V Hotel. BCCI also provided Jackson with a Rolls-Royce for his stay. The hotel bill for that visit was about $7,000, Chinoy said yesterday, and was paid from BCCI’s Cayman Islands bank.
Jackson said yesterday that BCCI did pay about $11,000 for his accommodations during two visits to Paris in late 1985. But he said that he has never had any business relationship with the bank or its founder, and that he was unaware of any wrongdoing at the bank at the time.

In his wide-ranging testimony, Chinoy also said Adnan Khashoggi , the Saudi arms dealer, would write checks on a BCCI Monte Carlo branch even though he didn’t have enough funds to cover the checks. Khashoggi deposited the checks in London bank accounts as a way of advancing funds to cover arms sales to Iran. There were about nine transactions totaling $16 million arranged that way, according to Chinoy.

Adnan Khashoggi has ties to Auchi who was the $$ man for Rezko. What if this is damage control for a potential guilty plea by Blago who knows all the players in Chicago corruption. He would know this Khashoggi is one of the money men as well as how ohbummer is connected.
If he was involved in the meltdown it could get very interesting.
For one to go here and one to be in Chicago points to the trial where everyone is involved. Where is Valerie Jerrett and Axel at?

Thanks, maggief!
Adds more fuel to my long-held suspicion. Also explains his lavish life-style, which cannot totally be funded by Rainbow-Push and his extortion from Wall Street (which came rather late in his career).
Oh, thank you maggief. I am reading every comment now. I had an interesting discussion with a lady friend after Mass today -— she’s a well informed, one of us...lol -— so when I told her about this, we ended up having a quick lunch together. I expect her to sign-up here shortly. LOL.
Reread you post Mag, thanks to Onyx pointing it out....Much better later in the day.
The follow stood out this time:
” BCCI’s Cayman Islands bank”
Do you remember the talk of Hill/billy account in the Cayman Island...and the death of the GB newsperson who had called in that he had their account numbers, the source of the money etc....but was found murdered in his motel room the next day?
BO and Mo are not the first to recieve money from this group.....Drugs, guns, money laudering, bribes, blackmail, murder..... What’s all involved?
Good post, did you catch this 444? (I’m sure you did since you were on it early, but just in case).
