Reply #2: For twelve years, from BCCI's intial attempts to acquire FGB/First America [View All]

in January, 1978, until their forced resignation in August 1991 from their positions as the top officals of First America, former Secretary of Defence Clark Clifford and his law partner, Robert Altman, were the central figures in BCCI's acquisitions and management of U.S. banks.

During that time, they met with and represented BCCI's top management, major shareholders, major borrowers, and every figure of consequence who participated in BCCI's frauds in the U.S.

Part of the difficulty in unraveling the decision-making process relating to BCCI, First American, and the National Bank of Georgia, and Clifford and Altman's role in the process, is that Clifford and Altman simultaneously represented all parties in the transactions over a period of 12 years spanning each permutation of purchase and sale of each of the organizations involved.
