Also, Lance was still deeply in debt as a result of his borrowing $3.4 million to purchase NBG just two years earlier, and had no ready buyer for his interest in the National Bank of Georgia, his principal asset, given the fall in the price of its stock.
Lance told Abedi that FGB was a much better prospective purchase for BCCI, because it "enjoyed a very unique position in American banking at that point in time in the sense that it was one of the two or three, maybe four, multistate holding companies that were in existence in the United States."
The funds provided Lance were originally described as "loans," but BCCI never asked Lance to sign a note or to arrange terms for repayment, and in time, the payment came to be understood as a consulting fee, or retainer.
