The most prominent recent case involved the Bank of New York, through which $7 billion was laundered by way of an account belonging to Benex, a company linked with a purported Russian mobster. One of the bank's vice-presidents pleaded guilty to money laundering, but the bank itself was not accused of wrongdoing (New York Times, September 5, 1999, 3-1).
