Nazerali (Altaf) you can read about in your local library, via such sources as the books: False Profits: The Inside Story of BCCI, The World's Most Corrupt Financial Empire, by Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin, published in 1992 by Houghton Mifflin Company; and Contrepreneurs, by Diane Francis published by Macmillan of Canada in 1988. Both books describe Nazerali as having been "the principal front-man" for Canadian stock swindler Irving Kott during the mid-1980s when Kott ran boiler rooms in Amsterdam. Nazerali, they explain, was chairman of First Commerce Securities, "the biggest and most notorious" of the boiler room outfits. "When the First Commerce fraud was at its height," write Truell and Gurwin, "millions of dollars arrived in Amsterdam in the form of personal checks and wire transfers. Much of the money was then forwarded to BCCI." In Canada, both books should be available in your neighbourhood library. Outside of Canada, it'll be easiest to find the Truell/Gurwin tome.
Clair Calvert was, indeed, linked to the Cycomm and Rare Earth scams during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Cycomm et al principals such as Phil Garratt are still in circulation. You can read about the Cycomm swindle by visiting my (now retired) web-site @ imagenisp.com |
