Finally the family, unable to save enough money for a deposit on an apartment, moved into Plaza Place, emergency transitional housing for families in Charlotte. "A lot of things run through your mind when you don't have a place to live," says Tamey. "You wonder how did you get this way? How did this happen?" The kids felt the pain too. Brandon, a bright child with a sharp mind, hungered for attention and grew angry at times. Without any peers, Nicole, a pretty girl with a sweet smile and a quick wit, was adrift and alone. They...
...allocated to a worldwide fund to compensate innocent depositors who lost their money when the bank collapsed. The remaining half has been reserved for a U.S. contingency fund to shore up financial institutions that B.C.C.I. secretly controlled.

Saccoccia's final mistake may have been his failure, quite literally, to wash the greenbacks before laundering them. In March 1990, Saccoccia and an aide delivered to a bank $53,000 packaged in 53 bundles. The currency was tested by a cocaine-sniffing German shepherd named Basko, which promptly went "bonkers," says an agent...
There are many reasons to go the extra mile in government service, but leave it to banking regulator L. William Seidman to come up with a new one: because the White House didn't want him to. When the curmudgeonly chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation stepped down last week at the end of a six-year term, he disclosed that he would have left last year but for the efforts of the Bush Administration to cashier...
