I am at a loss to understand Centrust as a satellite of BCCI. Can this truly be documented?
Late in the Centrust game came BCCI and it clearly did not cause the Centrust troubles but bought into Centrust securities delaying its exposure. Hardly the same, but maybe such that this statemetn is tru "Centrust which in 198x of 199X became a satellite of BCCI, if that happened but this was after Centrust was in big trouble.
Some of your quotes come from several blogs which may go overboard in their exposure of consipiracies and appear to be wrong.
Someone should look and maybe change that phrase or elimminate BCCI out of it unless properly rephrased to reflect what is truly known.Chief.Scribe 06:25, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Honestly I don't know that much about Bailey but I am sure he is more well regarded than this article makes him appear to be, isn't he?- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 07:53, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
You are correct. He was the pre-eminent media legal authority in the 70s and early 80s. His celebrity status led him to frequent appearances on late-night talk shows as well as providing legal opinions on topical issues to nearly all media outlets. Not to mention, he hosted his own show Good Company, where he interviewed the rich and famous. As well as another show in the 80s, called Lie Detector, where he cross-examined celebrities & personalities while hooked up to a lie detector, so as to discern the validity of any accusations against them.
