International Capital Flows Called Criminal
Financial Times, April 24, 1996, p. 8. US prosecutor attacks bank secrecy laws By Clay Harris Mr John Moscow, assistant district attorney for Manhattan: "Bank secrecy statutes in international finance are used by crooks, tax evaders, securities fraudsters, and capital flight fellows; they are used by narcotics dealers. But they are not needed by honest folks engaged in honest transactions." Now the last time I looked, 'Capital Flight' was as legal as church on a Sunday. Or is this a proposal for exchange controls. Is this guy a state or federal prosecutor? He was also unable to come up with legitimate reasons for $3 Billion to go from Egypt to the Bahamas. I can think of any one of a number of legal reasons, one being "International Tax Planning." DCF
