'Although uniformly ignored by the
mainstream U.S. media, there is abundant and clear evidence that a
number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific
(criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon. That evidence also demonstrates that, in the
case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million
prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the "put options" on United
Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the
number three Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence
Agency.
Until 1997 A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard had been
Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown. A.B. Brown was acquired by
Banker's Trust in 1997. Krongard then became, as part of the merger,
Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust-AB Brown, one of 20 major U.S. banks
named by Senator Carl Levin this year as being connected to money
laundering. Krongard's last position at Banker's Trust (BT) was to
oversee "private client relations."
In this capacity he had direct hands-on
relations with some of the wealthiest people in the world in a kind of
specialized banking operation that has been identified by the U.S.
Senate and other investigators as being closely connected to the
laundering of drug money.'
