From 911Encyclopedia:
All international banking transactions are monitored and electronically recorded by three "clearing" companies. They are based in Luxemburg (Clearstream) and in Brussels (Euroclear and Swift). French journalist Denis Robert has made a long inquiry and wrote a book about the "Clearstream" system. His enquiry revealed that that half of the Clearstream accounts weren't published. Robert managed to obtain some April 2000 microfiles. He explains in his book that on one of those microfiles, is the "Bahrain International Bank", one of the 8 banks mentioned by President Bush as being a party to Bin Laden's transactions. Several European non-governmental organisations have been asking for years, that these international finance "black boxes" should be controlled by governments, rather than just by banks. They're asking that these companies should be under public control. Via the 3 companies, all financial transactions are traceable via these microfiles. Clearstream International was formed in January 2000 through the merger of Cedel International and Deutsche Boerse Clearing. Source: http://www.clearstream.com/c_co_legal.htm
In an May 2001 interview with Denis Robert, he explained, that one originator of this file system died under strange circumstances on Corsica in 1983. His name was Gerard Soisson. He was on holidays in a Mediterranean club with his 4 children. He broke down on the terrace of his hotel, heart failure, natural death concluded the doctor."

Note: There are speculations around, that with the help of some "clearance computer programs", a few of the saudi arabic accounts, which had been frozen after Sep11th, had not been disabled.
