What was the name of the bank... ?
... I read something about CIA and FBI use/used for their operative accounts. There was something I remember reading about a banker that paid out money and claimed there were bogus (fake companies or individuals owning) accounts, connected to the government and secretive operations.
Does anyone remember details or can help me out, in which context I read this?
I would appreciated

1. It was BCCI and its affiliated banks up to 1991, and more recently, Riggs.

I am working on a nice theory but don't want ot spoil it yet. I need more research on it.

For the while here is something I found googling for Jonathan Bush:

Web Site Cites Bush-Riggs Link

By Kathleen Day
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, May 15, 2004; Page E02

A political Web site written by a Democratic operative drew attention yesterday to the fact that President Bush's uncle, Jonathan J. Bush, is a top executive at Riggs Bank, which this week agreed to pay a record $25 million in civil fines for violations of law intended to thwart money laundering.

Jonathan Bush, who is a major fundraiser for his nephew, was appointed in 2000 to run Riggs Investment Management Co. His association with Riggs began when he headed J. Bush & Co., a New Haven, Conn., company he created in 1970 and built to offer advice on money management.
