The global shift of conventional bank savings accounts to stocks in the 1990s inspired a purposefully created investment conglomerate, whose methods made the mafia ownership of Laundromats across the U.S.A in the seventies pale in comparison.
From little-known oil-soaked islands in West Africa, The Farm, a rogue organisation, sprung from the ruins of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, BCCI. It operated only within the limits of the imagination of its founding fathers. The Farm's purpose was evil and its methods unspeakable, as it mingled slush funds of questionable origins into the pool that contained the genuinely-earned assets of ordinary hard-working people.
It grew with global complicity, starting in the United Islands, crisscrossing the globe, across the seas and sands to Somalia - funding high-sea piracy, and in the West, it was the very highest level of politics.
