Bank crony loan crisis erupts in Kabul: advice needed

[He3]

Where will Karzai turn for the best advice?

Afghan bank chiefs removed over 'crony loans' fears
Afghanistan's authorities have ousted the managers of the country's biggest bank to try and prevent a collapse due to toxic property investments and murky loans to politically powerful customers, it has been reported.

Hamid Karzai personally approved the intervention to prevent a meltdown at Kabul Bank which could send shock waves through the Afghan economy.

Sher Khan Farnood, the chairman, and his chief executive Khalilullah Frozi were replaced by staff from the Afghan central bank this week.

The government acted after apparently unearthing evidence of massive off-the-book loans to influential power brokers and the company's own executives.

The banks finances have also been badly hit by disastrous property investments with depositors' money in Dubai. Liabilities are reported to far outweigh assets. Mr Farnood, a world-class poker player, was ordered to hand over £100 million of apartments and villas in Dubai which he had purchased with the banks money for figures including Mahmoud Karzai, the president's brother.

Haseen Fahim, brother of vice president Mohammad Qasim Fahim, has borrowed tens of millions of pounds from the bank the Washington Post reported.

Irish bank chiefs removed over 'crony loans' fears
Ireland's authorities have ousted the managers of the country's biggest bank to try and prevent a collapse due to toxic property investments and murky loans to politically powerful customers, it has been reported.

Brian Lenihan personally approved the intervention to prevent a meltdown at Anglo Irish Bank which could send shock waves through the Irish economy.

Sean Fitzpatrick, the chairman, and his chief executive David Drumm were replaced by staff from another Irish bank this week.

The government acted after apparently unearthing evidence of massive off-the-book loans to influential power brokers and the company's own executives.

The banks finances have also been badly hit by disastrous property investments with depositors' money in Dubai. Liabilities are reported to far outweigh assets. Mr Sean Dunne, a world-class poker player, was ordered to hand over £100 million of apartments and villas in Dubai which he had purchased with the banks money for figures including Bertie Ahern, the president's buddy in drinking and onanism.....................

Quel surprise. It seem to work rather well.

When even a nest of vipers like the Karzai regime are less corrupt and more accountable than this Government then we really are well past the point of no return.

If Drumm & Fitzpatrick were a consultancy...They'd probably be Kabul bound,business class, in the morning.With a Powerpoint pitch for Sher Khan and Khalilulah.
It'd be top drawer advice if the A team hit Afghanistan.

Advice? Let's see.
Legal: the part of Arthur Cox which does not have a conflict of interest.
Economics: a senior counsel who can talk a good game but knows nothing about economics.
Media: David McWilliams.
Leadership: the world's 5th best leader will be available soon.

Heartwarming how some very particular cultural characteristics are shared between Ireland and Afghanistan.

Nothing is too far-fetched these days.

Why would they go just to be ignored?

Their advice is worth seven million euro. Karzai could hand them over one of the newly found gold mines.
