BANKER SIR FRED GOODWIN IS COUSIN TO A TOP GANGSTER

.

Goodwin.



On 7 June 2009, the Sunday Mail revealed that shamed banker Sir Fred Goodwin is a Scots gangster's cousin



Sir Fred Goodwin, former boss of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), is a cousin of 'one of Scotland’s most feared gangsters', 'ruthless crime kingpin' Grant Mackintosh.



The pair grew up less than a mile apart in Paisley, in Scotland.



Goodwin presided over the loss of £24.1billion while running RBS – the biggest loss in British corporate history.



Mackintosh’s uncle Archie was Goodwin’s grandad, making the pair cousins.



Mackintosh has been 'a leading figure in Scotland’s criminal underworld' for 25 years.



He is a convicted drugs baron and was at one time the biggest cannabis distributor in the country.



Mackintosh was a suspect in the gangland execution of John Hall and David McIntosh who were found dead in Larkhall, Lanarkshire, in 2001.



During Goodwin’s tenure, RBS became the world’s fifth-largest bank, and Goodwin became very rich indeed.

Sir Fred Goodwin was chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) from 2001 to 2008.



His mother was of German Jewish heritage. (Fred Goodwin - Wikipedia)



After University, he joined accountants Touche Ross.



Reportedly, Touche Ross has had links to the CIA (Cached)

Goodwin, while working for Touche Ross, was chief operating officer of the worldwide liquidation of BCCI, Bank of Credit and Commerce International, in 1990.



The BCCI was called the CIA’s money-laundering facility. (Bank of Credit and Commerce International - Wikipedia.)



According to an article at Wikipedia:



"RBS has been involved in an increasing number of environmental and human rights controversies since Sir Fred Goodwin took the helm in 2001.



"RBS is heavily involved in financing large oil, gas and mining projects world-wide that environmental organizations like BankTrack, PLATFORM , Pacific Environment, The Cornerhouse, and Rainforest Action Network call 'dodgy deals' that they say severely damage the environment and local communities, and that contribute significantly to climate change.



"A profile by BankTrack tracks RBS financing of corporations involved in the production of uranium weapons, as well as the controversial Baku-T’blisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline transecting Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, the Sakhalin II oil and gas scheme in eastern Russia, the Freeport McMoRan mine in Indonesia, Sinopec oil and gas in Burma, the Dynegy coal fired power plant and mountaintop removal coal mining in the US." - Fred Goodwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Sir Fred Goodwin has been a regular visitor to his friend, UK prime minister Gordon Brown. "Goodwin is one of a small handful of City grandees that the Chancellor relies on to give him advice." (Profile: Sir Fred Goodwin - Telegraph)
