FBI: More could be involved in AIB fraud

There is fresh evidence that the man at the centre of the massive AIB fraud may not have been acting alone.

It is reported today that FBI agents are widening the investigation into how John Rusnak managed to defraud the AIB-owned Allfirst bank in Maryland of $750m.

Both the AIB-appointed investigator and law enforcement officials are following leads they believe may link others with the rogue trader but so far Rusnak has not been charged.

He’s been revealing details of the scam, which could lead to others inside or outside the bank being named as co-conspirators.
