The UN Security council report from 2002, which is still viewable online stated:
"“The settlement of international transactions is usually handled through correspondent banking relationships or large-value message and payment systems, such as the SWIFT, Fedwire or CHIPS systems in the United States of America. Such international clearance centres are critical to processing international banking transactions and are rich with payment information. The United States has begun to apply new monitoring techniques to spot and verify suspicious transactions. The Group recommends the adoption of similar mechanisms by other countries.”
So how was this just leaked when the information has been available online since 2002? Also, it is my understanding that the WSJ ran the same story. Why is the NY Times being singled out?
