Answer:
According to David McClintick ("Swordfish: A True
Story of Ambition, Savagery, and Betrayal"), in the late
1980's, the FBI and DEA set up dummy corporations to
deal in drugs. They funneled into these corporate fronts
money from drug-related asset seizures.
The idea was to infiltrate global crime networks but a lot
of the money in "Operation Swordfish" may have ended
up in the wrong pockets. Government agents and sheriffs
got mysteriously and filthily rich and the whole sorry
affair was wound down. The GAO reported more than
$3.6 billion missing. This bit of history gave rise to at
least one blockbuster with Oscar- winner Halle Berry.
Alas, slush funds are much less glamorous in reality. They
usually involve grubby politicians, pawky bankers, and
philistine businessmen - rather than glamorous hackers
and James Bondean secret agents.
The Kazakh prime minister, Imanghaliy
Tasmaghambetov, freely admitted on April 4, 2002 to his
country's rubber-stamp parliament the existence of a $1
billion slush fund. The money was apparently skimmed
off the proceeds of the opaque sale of the Tengiz oilfield.
Remitting it to Kazakhstan - he expostulated with a poker
face - would have fostered inflation. So, the country's
president, Nazarbaev, kept the funds abroad "for use in
the event of either an economic crisis or a threat to
Kazakhstan's security".
