Athens bank fraud report
========================

The Athens bank fraud report is John Kiriakou's account of a whistleblowing effort that went nowhere. In May 2020 he took what he calls a "job from heaven", chief operating officer of an Athens-based investment company, only to discover, about six weeks in, that the whole thing was "an elaborate bank fraud." On his lawyer's advice he downloaded 15,000 to 20,000 pages of documents proving large-scale fraud and quit. Unable to reach the FBI, told to "call 311", he used a contact, a former FBI deputy director, to get a meeting at the Washington field office, where the agent put up his hands: "if this doesn't have the words terrorism, China, or January 6th, we're not interested." He and his lawyer ultimately flew, at their own expense, to Athens and Israel, where the Israeli police took the case.
