Leadenhall Bank credit card-holders targeted by Manhattan District Attorney

Credit cards issued by Bahamas-based Leadenhall Bank & Trust and other offshore banks were used to access over $100 million in 2001 alone by residents of New York’s tri-state area, according to Manhattan’s District Attorney.
Robert M. Morgenthau made the claim in a press release issued on June 26, 2003 when he disclosed that one Leadenhall client had pleaded guilty to tax evasion and another was under investigation.
