Reviews

Anatomy of a Banking Scandal is a must read for anyone in the Anti-Money Laundering or Financial Crime Prevention fields. Robert Pasley takes you into a world of corruption, intimidation, and arrogance that was the First National Bank of Keystone. You will also be astounded at how regulators and outside auditors failed in their supervisory and oversight roles that allowed the bank to thrive. Fortunately, the scandal was eventually uncovered, but the trip there will teach you quite a bit. Pasley's book is the perfect precursor to (the film) The Big Short and should go down as an excellent anti-fraud training tool. --John J. Byrne, Executive Vice President, Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists


'The book is ambitious in scope, and it raises questions that are extraordinarily important and interesting. It tells a story about corruption, analyzes the internal and external causes of the bank's failure, and describes the ensuing cases against the culprits inside and outside the bank.' - Juan Almandoz, Administrative Science Quarterly

Byrne, Executive Vice President, Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists -What we really have here is something of a detective story, told in uncompromising detail by Pasley. Think not so much Sherlock Holmes as some variation of -CSI,- but in a financial vein. . . . The depth and breadth of the deception, lies, embezzlement, fraud, incompetence, double-dealing, mutual theft, and more emanating from a single, small rural community bank and the players that touched it before its closure in 1999 builds through this book like an orchestra working up to a massive crash of cymbals. . . . Pasley has spent so much time documenting the weaknesses of the system in the majority of the book that the reader can rapidly appreciate his points regarding reform.- --Steve Cocheo, Banking Exchange
