Ghaith Pharaon


Ghaith Rashad Pharaon , is a Saudi businessman who was at one time an investor in the Bank of Credit and Commerce International , an international bank established by Pakistani financier Agha Hasan Abedi. Secretly acting on behalf of BCCI, Pharaon acquired control of two American banks in violation of federal banking laws. When the fraud was discovered, BCCI was forced to sell the banks, and soon after shut down by regulators when it was determined to be insolvent. Pharaon was charged with wire fraud and racketeering conspiracy although he eventually paid out substantial fines and a major settlement to the banks liquidators, the criminal charges were never resolved and American authorities are still seeking his extradition.
