"Any one of these extremely valuable tools," said a senior FBI official at the time, "could be the keystone" to a successful operation against terrorists.

"People know that salaries cannot buy the good things," says Ali, one of thousands of operatives in an underground banking world that stretches from New York to Tokyo. "You need a little extra."
