He took it to the bank

So I was reading the Metro this morning and noticed a small paragraph on the second page:

“Habib Khan, 49, pleaded guilty yesterday to running an unlicensed money transmitting business in which he charged a fee to wire at least $2.1 million to Pakistan. He never registered the business and hid the transactions from a bank he worked with.”

Okay, who is this dude? Which bank did he work for? What is going on?

I ran across a press release and a couple of court documents, but no story.

Come-on media elite. You know I’m obsessed with Pakistan. Especially Swat Valley (according to the documents he was wiring the money there.)

What’s the real deal? Stupid small-time crook or terrorist mastermind?

Any guesses on the sentencing, folks?
