As the most recent owner of the notoriously corrupt Bank of Credit & Commerce International, which regulators closed earlier this month, Zayed has become the unwitting goat for nearly two decades of alleged fraud by the bank's Pakistan-based managers and for years of neglect by banking authorities around the world. After investing $1 billion to shore up B.C.C.I. since he acquired it last year, Zayed faces the humiliation of losing control of the bank, and the moral -- if not legal -- responsibility for helping to bail out depositors who were victims of fraud...

Apparently his exclusion from the "mainstream" of American art as defined by American white art historians, which happened, the catalog implies, because Bearden was black...

When Angleton's successor, George Kalaris, followed up the information, all of the 20 leads it contained resulted in arrests and convictions of important Soviet agents.
