    About this ebook

    Ever wondered about the real meaning of "The Wizard of Oz?" Who do you think really controls the banking industry? What are the connections between the intelligence agencies and organized crime around the world, and how do these connections affect the banking industry? Was the financial collapse of 2008 precipitated by the temporary refusal of the Mexican mob to launder money in major banks? The answer to these and other questions await you in this fascinating article of little-known banking history.
