Speaking of “How Marc got Rich”, I did a NYT search for his name and the first item was

If only Volker had known, it would have saved him a heck of a lot of footnotes.

You quote the Volker Report:
Do you know the date of this transaction?
What Captain Ed tells us:
…is especially troubling, and suggests that Clinton’s carelessness with our national security extended even further than I, at least, suspected.

Page 62, footnote 107 details transactions that took place from Feb. 1, 2001 to Sept. 19, 2002.
Oct 28, 2005 - 7:52 am 4. Jamie Irons:Thanks, Fausta…
So, M. Rich was in business with Saddam from about eight months before September 11, 2001 till more than a year afterwards, at least with respect to this series of transactions.
Good G_d!

Oct 28, 2005 - 8:45 am 5. Don Miguel:Marc Rich has been a crook and fugitive for more than 20 years. It would be a real surprise if he was not involved in this!
Oct 28, 2005 - 12:06 pm 6. thibaud:Anyone with decent political contacts and experience of offshore financial structures and oil trading in the middle east, be he situated in Switzerland or Russia or anywhere else, would have been expected to grab a slice of the OFF pie. Too good to pass up.
As Kinsley says, the real scandal is what’s not considered a scandal. And in certain quarters of France, Switzerland and most of the former Soviet Union, no one considers OFF a scandal at all. Hell, jumping into pariah markets evacuated by the international community is practically a core tactic of French grand strategy.
