...headed by Alvin Krongard, one of the banks named by Senator Carl Levin as being linked to drug money laundering.

...after his stint at the CIA in which he was appointed executive director by the Bush crime family, Krongard joined the infamous Blackwater as a member of their advisory board.

...millions in airline put option profits could not be claimed because the investor did not anticipate the New York Stock Exchange would be shut down for four days after the 9/11 attacks.

...In 2007, House Oversight Committee chairman Henry Waxman charged his brother Howard Krongard (also appointed by Bush, as State Inspector General) with actively impeding probes into waste and corruption related to the war in Iraq and other matters including the infamous Blackwater massacre. In a followup letter Waxman informed Krongard that allegations of witness intimidation had been made against Krongard's staff. Krongard allegedly made threats to State department personnel and whistleblowers if they cooperated with House Oversight Committee investigations. I wonder if he threatened to have his CIA brother take them out?

...it goes on and on. you can't make this stuff up.
these Krongard brothers are as crooked as they come.
