The Crimes of Mena:


GRAY MONEY




by the Staff of the OZARK GAZETTE

                      GRAY MONEY

Activists seeking documentation that would support claims that the
state of Arkansas was involved with money laundering on a massive
scale may have found the missing link in their three year search.
Documents obtained by the Arkansas Committee show that the Arkansas
Development and Finance Authority, a Bill Clinton signature project,
was involved in a highly questionable, and possibly illegal, sixty-million
dollar deal in which ADFA borrowed 5 million dollars from a Japanese
bank in order to buy stock in a Barbados insurance company.  The
stock was not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The state of Arkansas was the lead investor in a deal which poured
sixty million dollars through a Barbados company, Coral Reinsurance,
which is currently under investigation by insurance regulators in New
York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware as well as by Manhattan District
Attorney Robert Morgenthau, lead prosecutor in the BCCI scandal.
Additionally,the Ozark Gazette has recently been told that as a
result of the release of the Coral documents the independent counsel,
Kenneth Starr, is also investigating the deal.

Persons involved in the deal, which began in 1987 and ended in 1991,
include Bob Nash, then president of ADFA and now Personnel Director
of the White House, Robert Rubin, then president of Goldman Sach's
investment bank and now Secretary of the Treasury, and Maurice
Greenburg, president of American International Group, and a candidate
in 1995 to be Director of Central Intelligence.

The American International Group is a 100-billion dollar,
multi-national insurance company which founded Coral Reinsurance
Company in 1987.  The fact that AIG founded Coral was hidden from
insurance regulators for at least 3 years and was only recently proven
by the reluctant release by ADFA of the original stock placement
memorandum.  Maurice Greenburg as president of AIG is a very well
connected businessman and a player in international politics.  He
serves as the chairman of the US-China Business Council and lobbied
hard (and successfully) for the Clinton administration to sever the
link between China's human rights record and renewal of China's
most-favored-nation trade status. Members of the board of directors
of AIG include Martin Feldstein, Harvard University economics professor
and former chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors
and Carla Hills, former U.S. trade representative.  AIG's
international advisory board is headed by Henry A. Kissinger.

The original deal was pitched to ADFA by Goldman-Sachs, a New York
based securities firm which played an important role in the transaction.
Goldman-Sachs had pledged to sell the stock for Coral and in addition
pledged to buy the stock if for any reason the other investors could not
hold it and were forced to sell.  Goldman's president at the time was
Robert Rubin, later appointed by the Clinton administration to succeed
Lloyd Bentsen as the Secretary of the Treasury.

                        THE SEARCH BEGINS

Founded in 1990 as a student organization at the University of Arkansas,
the Arkansas Committee's major focus was on Arkansas' involvement with the
mysterious activities at the Mena airport during the 1980's.  The Committee
spent two years unsuccessfully trying to convince the state government to
investigate links between major drug smuggler Barry Seal (also a government
informant), who worked out of the Mena, Arkansas airport, and the U. S.
Intelligence community.

Recently, two very respected investigative journalists, Roger Morris and
Sally Denton, have published the most authoritative and highly documented
account to date of events at the Mena airport between 1982 and 1986.
Based on over 2,000 documents including the previously unpublished personal
papers of Barry Seal, their article "The Crimes of Mena" in the July issue
of Penthouse Magazine reveals the government's protection, and cover up
of drug smuggling, gun running and money laundering.

Realizing that personal accounts were not sufficient to convince skeptics,
in the summer of 1992 the Committee began what would become its most
difficult journey - finding enough hard evidence to convince the media
(the court of last resort, the government having rebuffed two years of
pleas to do the job itself) to investigate and write about Mena.  And
so they began trying to locate the long buried paper trail, armed only
with the Freedom of Information Act and determination.

But what sort of hard documentation could they reasonably hope to find?
The Committee's sources had on more than one occasion indicated that up
to ten million dollars a week in illegal cash was going through Arkansas
at the height of the Mena operation. Therefore the most logical course
seemed to be to the hoary old cliche,  follow the money.

For two important reasons, the Committee decided to look into the Arkansas
Development Finance Authority (ADFA).  First, some admittedly
circumstantial evidence linked ADFA to the Mena operations.  Secondly, as
a state agency, ADFA was subject to Arkansas's Freedom of Information Act,
and so documents could be extracted from what was hoped would be an
important source of information.  Throughout 1992, the Arkansas Committee
contacted numerous sources in their search for evidence that ADFA may have
been involved in money laundering operations. Several people assured them
that ADFA was indeed involved, knowingly or otherwise, with laundering
many millions of dollars.

ADFA sells bonds as a state bonding agency, and it was alleged that many
of the bonds were bought with drug money.   But this meant that even if
the bonds were purchased with black money, ADFA would still be in the
clear, since ADFA could claim that they had no knowledge of the sources
of the money used to purchase their bonds.  Additionally, ADFA does not
sell it's own bonds directly to the public, but instead uses a
middleman - a bond underwriter - the perfect deniable link.  Committee
member Mark Swaney suspected that it was possible that ADFA had become
involved in money laundering directly, so he began searching for other
ways in which black money may have been moved with ADFA's involvement.
In August of 1992, Swaney received what he felt was his first real
break, when a source told him to look for ADFA's involvement with an
insurance company.

                     COMMITTEE HITS PAY DIRT

Life not being like the movies, it took two years before the Committee
was able to find any such link.  In 1994, Swaney and the Arkansas
Committee (in thus far their last official act as a group) sued ADFA for
their auditor's working papers, after the documents were not forthcoming.
The lack of interest on the part of the main stream press had not changed
and the only attendees at the press conference announcing the suit were
one reporter, and a camera crew from a public access television station.
In a recent Arkansas Supreme Court ruling that has extended the power of
the state's freedom of information act, Swaney and the Arkansas Committee
were handed a unanimous victory when the court overturned the original
decision by Judge Kim Smith.  The new ruling places the burden of
obtaining public documents held by private companies on the relevant
state agency. The decision means that state agencies cannot circumvent
the freedom of information act by insuring that they are not in possession
of sensitive documents.  (Oh, we don't have "physical possession" of that
document - because we gave it to our lawyer to keep...)

The Committee reasoned that the public audits of ADFA were unlikely to
provide any useful information, however the working papers of the auditors
should yield a much more complete and detailed picture of ADFA's dealings.
Because the Committee members were not financial experts they decided to
locate someone well versed in accounting and/or auditing to review the
papers when and if they could obtain them.  To this end, Swaney teamed up
with well-known independent financial analyst and ADFA critic, Roy Drew.

In a conversation about their collaboration, Drew told Swaney that he had
found evidence of ADFA's involvement in a very strange deal with a certain
Coral Reinsurance Company.  Roy Drew had been reading the minutes of ADFA's
board of directors meetings and found one paragraph (in thousands of pages)
describing a deal where ADFA would borrow 5 million dollars from the Sanwa
bank's Chicago branch to buy stock in Coral Reinsurance.  Additionally, the
minutes revealed that according to the terms of the loan ADFA did not have
to repay the loan if it did not make as much money in dividends on the
stock as it owed in interest on the loan.  To the Committee, this seemed
to be the long sought after link between ADFA and an insurance company,
especially since there was no known connection to any other insurance
business.

After finally obtaining an opportunity to examine the ADFA auditor's
working papers, the Committee asked ADFA for copies of all documents
relating to the Coral insurance deal. Derek Rose, PR man for ADFA,
readily agreed to make the Coral documents available. On December 2,
1994 ADFA's auditors (Deloitte & Touche) allowed Swaney and Drew limited
access to the working papers.  On the same day Swaney visited ADFA and
copied the entire Coral file that Rose had retrieved for him.  While
Swaney was copying the documents, Rose was apparently seeing the material
for the first time. It quickly become obvious to Swaney that several
documents contained in the file where very sensitive  inter-office ADFA
memos.  One of the memos, apparently written in a panic by Bob Nash,
indicated that he had been questioned about the Coral deal in 1992, and
had been shaken by it.  In addition, a letter written to ADFA by the
Delaware Department of Insurance requested information concerning ADFA's
involvement with Coral Reinsurance, and strongly suggested that they were
investigating Coral Reinsurance.

                     CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER

After returning to Fayetteville, Swaney and the Committee began to study
the documents in detail.  Several facts were especially interesting given
the background of the search.  First, Coral Reinsurance was incorporated
in the tiny Caribbean island of Barbados - a notorious haven for money
launderers due to it's very lax banking regulations, and tight corporate
secrecy laws.  If someone wanted to launder cash, this was a good place
to do it.  Second, the deal was structured in such a way as to prevent
the reporting of the ownership of the stock to the IRS.  Third, the stock
certificate plainly stated that "these securities have not been registered
under the securities and exchange commission act of 1933".  The deal had
all the earmarks of a clandestine arrangement designed to conceal the true
ownership of Coral Reinsurance.

Further information gleaned from the documents showed that ADFA's role in
the deal was unique.  There were several other investors, none of whom had
any visible government connection.  Also, ADFA's share of the stock was
larger than any other investor, and ADFA had signed a "put agreement" with
Goldman Sach's in which they obligated themselves to buy the stock of any
other investor in the case that the investor found that they could no
longer hold the stock, and Goldman could find no other qualified investor.
Finally, in case ADFA couldn't hold the stock, Goldman Sach's would buy it.
In no case was the Sanwa Bank ever to own the stock.

The total amount of stock in the deal was 1,000 shares at $60,000 per
share for a total of 60 million dollars.  ADFA's portion was 84 shares for
a total of $5.04 million.  Another very interesting fact was that the money
apparently never left the Sanwa Bank.  The whole transaction was conducted
on paper.  Sanwa loaned the $60 million to the investors, who used it to
buy the stock in Coral, which then redeposited the money back in the Sanwa
bank in the form of a certificate of deposit.   Also mentioned in the
documents was the American International Group, a huge insurance company
with international business and political connections.  The documents
indicated that Coral was going to re-insure AIG as part of its business.

Taken together, these facts indicated that this deal was indeed very
strange.  ADFA took no risk, since the loan with Sanwa guaranteed it a
profit, and was secured solely by the stock.

ADFA did nothing more than sign papers, in exchange for a profit of
$58,000.  At first glance, any intelligent person would question a deal
that promised something for nothing (indeed, it was later revealed that
one of ADFA's legal advisors - John Selig of the Mitchell firm - did ask
the crucial questions, "what's in it for AIG? why pay us for nothing?").
Swaney and Drew could not help wondering whether or not ADFA's role was
to provide the appearance of legitimacy and liquidity so that the other
investors would not be fearful of getting involved.

Roy Drew and Mark Swaney wanted to learn all that they could about the
Coral deal before releasing the documents to the media, so that further
information could be obtained before media involvement stirred up the
situation.  Roy Drew contacted the Delaware Department of Insurance to
find out what their original interest in Coral had been and to see if
they were still interested in obtaining the ADFA documents.

The Delaware Department of Insurance was in fact very interested in the
documents and a series of strange phone conversations took place between
Drew and his contact at the DDI.

Drew was told that ADFA had never responded to the DDI's request for
information, so that they had no documentation on the Coral-ADFA deal.
Initially the DDI was very suspicious of Roy Drew, not being sure with
whom they were dealing.  They  requested assurance from him that he was
not a member of any official US government agency and that he was not
working for ADFA or Coral.

Shortly after these initial exchanges Drew's original contact at the
DDI was taken off the case and his superiors informed Drew that his
contact had been instructed not to say anything more to anyone about
case.  Seeing no point in trying to get further information from
Delaware about the case, Swaney and Drew decided to release the story
to the media. A reporter for the business section of the New York Post,
John Crudele, had been following the progress of the Committee's efforts
and in early January, 1995, Swaney mailed him the Coral documents.

                       FURTHER REVELATIONS

Things began to get even stranger on January 6, 1995.  That day John
Crudele of the New York Post published a column which called attention
to whole deal involving Coral, ADFA and AIG.  The story was only on
streets in New York for a few hours when Swaney received a call from a
man who told Swaney he had been conducting his own investigation of
Coral Insurance and AIG but had not realized until then that the
connections led to people now in the White House.  When Swaney asked him
to identify himself, he declined to do so, for fear of retaliation.

We will call him Mr. Anonymous.  It seems that Mr. Anonymous is an
insurance man in New York City - a competitor of AIG - and at sometime
in the last two years he became very suspicious of AIG because its
affiliates were offering insurance at premiums way below market rates.
Mr. Anonymous told Swaney that he could not believe that a legitimate
insurance company could stay in business offering such low rates.  Mr.
Anonymous suspected that he was in competition with an illegal
enterprise, and began poking around in the affairs of AIG.  At some
point after that, Mr. Anonymous became frightened, and dropped his
investigation, because he believed that the repercussions were damaging
his own business.  Mr. Anonymous also told Swaney (and John Crudele of
the New York Post) that AIG and it's relationship with Coral
Reinsurance was under investigation by the insurance regulators of
Pennsylvania and New York.

Mr.  Anonymous had discovered that AIG was doing a lot of business
through the island nation Bermuda.  He then flew to Bermuda to examine
the records of AIG's business dealings.  In conversation with Swaney,
Mr. Anonymous said that one of the companies that he believed to be
underwriting policies issued by AIG had given a Fort Smith, Arkansas
address.  When Swaney asked for the name of the company, Mr. Anonymous
told him it was Beverly Indemnity.

Intrigued by the new connections to Arkansas, Swaney requested, and
received, copies of the documents that Mr. Anonymous had obtained in
Bermuda.  The documents for Beverly Indemnity of Bermuda contained the
names of two of its officers, Robert Pommerville, and Ronald C. Kayne.
Swaney suspected that Beverly Indemnity was controlled by the well-known
Beverly Enterprises of Fort Smith, AR - a call to Beverly Enterprises
revealed that Pommerville did indeed work for Beverly Enterprises.
Pommerville was later identified as the General Counsel for Beverly
Enterprises.  At the time of the Coral Insurance deal, Beverly
Enterprises was owned and controlled by Stephens, Inc.

In a telephone interview Mr. Pommerville stated that Beverly
Enterprises has an ongoing relationship with one of AIG's affiliates.
The National Union Fire and Home Insurance company of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania insures the Beverly Enterprises nursing homes.  In turn,
Beverly Indemnity, Inc. reinsures National Union.  Mr. Pommerville
stated that the arrangement was a step toward Beverly Enterprises
becoming self-insured. Beverly Enterprises has a current connection
with ADFA though Bobby Stephens (no relation to Stephens Inc.) who is
a member of the board of directors of both ADFA and Beverly Enterprises.
The minutes of the board of directors meeting at which the board members
voted to buy the Coral Reinsurance stock show that Bobby Stephens was
absent.

Beverly Enterprises has an intriguing past association with ADFA.
Those with long memories will recall that in the year after the Coral
deal, a controversy erupted involving Beverly Enterprises, ADFA and
former Arkansas Attorney General Steve Clark.  At that time ADFA was
considering a deal involving a bond issue which would have benefited
Beverly Enterprises.  Clark interrupted the public ADFA meeting
involving the issuance of the bonds and claimed that the Stephens
family, then the principal owners of Beverly Enterprises, had offered
him a $100,000 campaign contribution (translated- bribe) if he would
remain neutral on the deal involving ADFA and Beverly Enterprises.
Other observers of state politics have claimed that Clark's later
problems originated with his grandstand announcement "in front of God
and everybody" at the ADFA meeting.

Soon after the columns by John Crudele appeared in the New York Post,
other media began to be interested in the Coral Reinsurance deal. Business
Insurance magazine reported on the Coral deal.  An AIG spokesperson denied
that AIG had organized Coral Reinsurance. Other industry sources told John
Crudele that $450 million dollars had suddenly appeared in Coral's account
in just the last two weeks of 1987.  Investigators have been unable to
identify the source of the cash infusion.

Further columns on the story by John Crudele indicated that AIG was
attempting to distance itself from Coral and would only say that Coral
wrote reinsurance policies for AIG - investigators for insurance regulators
wanted to know if AIG actually in fact owned Coral.  This is the reason
that the Delaware Department of Insurance originally contacted ADFA in
1992.  The DDI wanted to see the stock placement memoranda because
such memoranda usually include information on who is starting the company,
what the nature of the business is, and with whom it intends to do business.

In mid December Swaney had written another FOIA request to ADFA, asking
for copies of documents relating to the Coral deal which were not in the
original file obtained on the second of December.  Two of documents
requested were:

1) the confidential stock placement memoranda.
2) the written legal opinion promised by ADFA to Coral which was supposed
   to state that ADFA had legal authority to buy the stock in first place.

ADFA responded to the FOIA by stating that all of the Coral documents in
ADFA's possession had already been copied by Swaney.

By the middle of February 1995 it was determined that ADFA's response,
while technically true, was simply a dodge since the requested documents
were in fact in the possession of one of ADFA's attorneys, Ann
Ritchie-Parker of the Mitchell Firm, a prestigious Little Rock law firm.

When the long sought after memorandum was finally obtained' it revealed
that indeed, AIG had founded Coral Reinsurance.

While all of these facts were in themselves very interesting, an event
in the latter part of February, 1995 added yet another twist to
this bizarre story.  In an article in February 20 issue US News & World
Report it was revealed that Maurice Greenburg was being promoted by
Senator Arlen Specter as the successor to Woolsey as Director of
Central Intelligence.  Jack Wheeler, writing in the February 22 issue of
Strategic Investment Newsletter, stated that the Clinton administration
had sent up a "trial balloon" in January on the possibility of nominating
Greenburg as the new Director of Central Intelligence.  There was very
little support for a Greenburg nomination.  Did the newly published
details of the Coral-ADFA deal deflate the balloon?

At about the same time Bob Nash, author of the "panic" memo, and former
President of ADFA was made the director of White House personnel by Clinton.
On February the fifth, Lloyd Bentsten, former Secretary of the Treasury was
appointed to the board of directors of AIG.

Bentsten's successor at the treasury was Robert Rubin, the President of
Goldman Sachs at the time of the Coral/ADFA deal.

By the middle of February the stories written by Crudele were attracting
attention in the Arkansas press.  Andrea Harter of the Democrat Gazette
began a month long investigation into the Coral deal.  The story appeared
March 5, 1995 and revealed even more extensive connections between AIG/ADFA.
In the year preceding the purchase of Coral stock by ADFA, an AIG affiliate
had managed over one billion dollars worth of ADFA's bonds. Having been
founded in 1985 and starting business in 1986, by early 1987 ADFA had only
been in business a little over a year.  AIG's involvement with that much of
their bonds so early in ADFA's history indicates a very strong relationship.
Once again, considering that the Arkansas Committee had been told that US
Intelligence had indeed laundered money through ADFA, and that the sale of
ADFA's bonds was one such vehicle for doing so, Maurice Greenburg's
connections to international politics and intelligence was very interesting.

As a result of Andrea Harter's investigation it was determined that the
written legal opinion referred to in the Coral/ADFA documents did not
exist.  Ms. Ann Parker-Ritchie claimed that "everyone agreed at the time
that it was legal for ADFA to purchase the stock" so the opinion was never
written down.   Although this point was not challenged by Harter in the
Democrat Gazette article, John Haman noted in the following weeks edition of
the Arkansas Times that Article 12, Section 7 of the Arkansas State
Constitution flatly prohibits the state of Arkansas from owning any stock.
Thus it would appear that ADFA's purchase of the Coral stock was illegal.
Mark Swaney comments "no wonder they didn't write the opinion down on paper!"

Aside from the cloak-and-dagger aspects of the Coral Reinsurance deal, the
Arkansas Committee's investigation of ADFA reveals some interesting points
concerning this center of financial power in Arkansas.  First is the fact
that ADFA's dealings do not have to have anything to do with helping the
economy of Arkansas directly.  Aside from a small profit of $58,000 on a
5 million dollar loan, who in Arkansas benefited from the Coral deal? Who
in Arkansas benefits from the billions of dollars in bonds which ADFA sells?
Certainly the bond daddies of Stephens and other underwriters.  Roy Drew has
studied the dealings of ADFA and calls the agency "an unregulated savings
and loan".  ADFA has claimed that they have oversight in the form of
independent auditors.  In fact, the legislation that created ADFA in 1985
specifically prohibited ADFA from using the Joint Legislative Auditing
Agency - the state's public auditors.  Was this an attempt to circumvent
the Freedom of Information Act?   Documents obtained by the Arkansas
Committee from Deloitte & Touche (ADFA's auditors) show at least one example
of the auditors covering up for ADFA and was reported in the February 17,
1995 issue of the Arkansas Times.

Auditing firms are noted for being more than willing to please their
customers, as in the infamous Silverado Savings and Loan case.

The auditor's papers also showed that the board of directors of ADFA on
four occasions approved loans in spite of their own staff's recommendations
that the companies not receive the loans.  Two of the loans have since
defaulted. In three of the four cases, the companies were owned by people
who were friends of the members of the board of directors.  In one of the
four cases, $400,000 was loaned to the husband of a long time ADFA employee,
and former secretary to Bob Nash.

Considering that the board is entirely appointed by the governor, the
possibilities for political corruption are obvious.  Consider that the
flow of billions of dollars is controlled essentially by one man.  Consider
the unaccountable power which flows to the person who can decide which
underwriters get to slop at the trough.

Regardless of the outcome of the five separate investigations into
AIG-Coral and ADFA, the results of the investigations of the Arkansas
Committee have revealed a source of unaccountable power which is
inconsistent with a democratic government.

For Committee members (such as Mark Swaney, Charlie Reed, Carol Conger,
and John Benedict) it means that they may at last receive attention for
what they have been trying to point out, and not how it might affect
anyone's political fortunes.

For those who may only get their information from daily newspapers, here
is a brief background of what became known as the Mena Connection.  In
1982, the near legendary drug smuggler, turned DEA informant, Barry Seal
relocated his operations from Louisiana to the small town of Mena, Arkansas.
Shortly thereafter, locals began to notice strange occurrences at the
airport.

Over the next two years, local law enforcement officials heard stories of
drug smuggling, gun running, illegal aircraft modifications, money
laundering, and paramilitary training in the surrounding hills. Police
began an investigation, only to have it taken over by the federal
government.  After two more years, through 1986, local and federal
investigators had what they believed to be solid evidence of these crimes,
only to see the United States Attorney refuse to present their evidence
to the eventual grand jury.

Later, these investigators, and members of the grand jury themselves,
complained loudly to the press that the case had been mishandled.  When
in October of 1986, Barry Seal's airplane was shot down over Nicaragua
(the opening chapter of the infamous Iran/Contra affair) it became obvious
to some observers that there had in fact been a cover-up of the alleged
activities at the Mena airport.

Reasoning that even if the federal government had covered up what had
occurred at Mena, it was still possible for the state government to
investigate the situation, the Arkansas Committee's early strategy was to
press for state investigation of Mena.  From 1990 through early 1992, the
Committee wrote letters, organized demonstrations, visited the offices of
state officials, collected evidence and held press conferences, all in
an attempt to pressure officials into reopening the case at the state level.

Failing to persuade officials to act, the Committee could not help but
wonder why.  Soon, they were faced with a previously unthinkable conclusion
- it was as much an inside job as anything else.

Suspecting that Governor Bill Clinton had reason to hide such state
involvement, the Committee decided to go public. Up to this point the
Committee had been treated fairly and on occasion, even praised by the
local media.  However, now that the Committee was pointing an accusing
finger at the local hero, the media began to turn against the people who
were asking for simple justice.

At every step of the way, it has been an uphill battle. They have been
accused of being dupes of the Republicans, of being cat's-paws of dark
political forces.  Mark Swaney, the leader of the group, has vivid memories
of being angrily accosted by the editor of a liberal newspaper, zealously
defending Bill Clinton against these infidels. The veracity of the
accusations, that Clinton may have had knowledge of CIA involvement with
Mena was not the point, the editor insisted. If we don t have Clinton, who
do we have?

They found themselves in the uncomfortable position of being praised by
right-wingers, who had their own agendas, and vilified by liberals, who
feared that any serious criticism of the shining hope of the Democratic
party might mean four more years of George Bush. In few instances was the
truth ever the issue, but merely how the facts might affect the political
fortunes of Arkansas' favorite son.

Information the group supplied became the basis for articles in The Nation,
The Washington Times and Village Voice, as well as providing groundwork for
exposes on television programs such as "A Current Affair," and  'Now It
Can Be Told."

However, in May 1992, the efforts to tell the truth about Mena slid
off-track when Time magazine, attempting discredit the allegations, printed
a major story purporting to tell the truth  about the events in Arkansas,
especially regarding connections to Bill Clinton, who was beginning his
rapid ascent to the White House. The direction of the story was that it
was much ado about nothing.
