Vatican Bank Scandal Similar to the deaths of informants in other scandals such as Inslaw, Chapter 11 corruption, and October Surprise, witnesses and informants to the BCCI scandal were killed or mysteriously died. The 1988 death of a New York City lawyer, Cornelius Ahearn, is believed due to the fact that he knew too much about the links between the BCCI scandal and the Vatican Bank scandal[279] of the 1980s.
