- Psst. Need to launder some dirty money? No problem. Pakistan's
- central bank placed some eyebrow-raising advertisements in the
- Wall Street Journal last week, offering to sell Pakistani
- government-backed bonds to anyone with cash. "No questions asked
- about the source of funds," says the ad. "No identity to be
- disclosed." The State Bank of Pakistan, which placed the ads,
- may be picking up where another Pakistani bank -- the corrupt
- Bank of Credit & Commerce International -- left off.
