The collapse of a business empire

On Aug. 7, 1989, in the dark of night, Ahmad Chalabi fled Amman, Jordan. He took few possessions with him, a sign either that he thought he would return soon or that the urgency of his departure left him no time to pack. He drove north, which would take him through the hills on the outskirts of the city and then toward the Syrian border. The wrath of Jordan would follow him as he left because Petra Bank, more than any other Chalabi family enterprise, left the most damage in its wake.

Note: Ahmad Chalabi dikenal sebagai collaborator ketika US menginvasi Irak tahun 2003 yang lalu.
