Also, Palmer National Bank made loans to customs who then used it to channel the money to a Swiss bank account controlled by Colonel Oliver North, who then used the same bank account to provide military assistance to the contras. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=OhdZCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT415&lpg=PT415&dq=palmer+national+bank+oliver+north&source=bl&ots=M9i_aUv3rG&sig=SbEdeicf6b9Rin-xvV0cGZdnVXo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiapLXYpIraAhVHC-wKHZtvCI4Q6AEIQjAE#v=onepage&q=palmer%20national%20bank%20oliver%20north&f=false …pic.twitter.com/MmNg9o8CXz
