Dear Philip,

Not so. This is the offer of gold to the UK which Justine Greening acknowledged receiving. One of the

attachments to the email was a letter that went to the UK's embassy in Tokyo containing a draft of the

Monetary Agreement:

Dear Ben,

Thank you for forwarding the letter from Rt. Hon George Osborne MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer and the

UK's alternate Governor on the Board of Governors of the World Bank and the International Monetary

Fund. I am copying Wolfgang Struck, the authorized signatory on the Global Debt Facility, as well as the

UK's Governor, the Rt. Hon Justine Greening MP, the UK's Executive Director, Ms. Gwen Hines, the Dean

of the Board, the Chair of the Development Committee, and the World Bank's Tokyo office.

Mr. Struck will let the recipients of this email know which assets in the Global Debt Facility concern the

United Kingdom.

This morning I am mailing the attached letter to H.E. Timothy Mark Hitchens, the UK's Ambassador in

Tokyo, requesting the UK to enter into the attached Monetary Agreement. Similar letters are going to the

other embassies in Tokyo. The Monetary Agreements will be entered into on a simultaneous closing date in

July, prior to the demise of the US dollar

research with respects to point 4. According to this source Mr Coleman

Osborne is part of the Committee 300. I guess this is why he is

refusing to negotiate the UK monetary agreement with you. Furthermore,

both opposition leaders Ed Miliband & Nick Clegg are also part of the

Committee 300; is there any point of voting if they effectively one

entity? Lastly, if the main opposition party is elected then the

new Chancellor will be Ed Balls who is also on the list!

It appears the "Elite" are not coming to their senses. As the global

economy is set to enter a "Greater Depression" that will include the

much needed default of bankrupt (morally & financially) corporations;

it remains difficult to see any other outcome for the Committee 300

members but grim. Historically, the British people aren't that reserved &

have been quite bloody on occasions.

Like the Jacob Marley character in the Charles Dickens story

"Scrooge", they have been warned.

Thanks for staying in the loop. I am writing you from London. I stopped by the EC on

Friday.

As you can see, Catherine Ashton, head of the EU's External Service, has asked the EU's Commissioner on Development to get involved. I return to Washington Tuesday. I am

asking the US law enforcement officials, US Congress and attorneys general of the 50 states to end this lawlessness before this further lowers the US' credit rating. I have informed the

Board of Executive Directors that the Bank's Legal Department is part of the problem and is

now precluded from further involvement. I also contend that I am still legally employed by the World Bank because the head of the Board's Committee on Governance and

Administrative Matters, in consultation with the Dean of the Board, recognized that I was never legally fired and reinstated me back in 2009. I intend to have the Board notify the

District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals that the Board has withdrawn my action

against the World Bank and am drawing up the papers to notify the lawyers hired by Leroy and the Court of Appeals to this effect.

Government Accountability Office investigation requested by Senators Lugar, Leahy and Bayh: "In March 2009, GAO staff stated that 'we cannot begin this work because of challenges we recently faced in gaining access to World Bank officials to discuss these types of questions. We are continuing to negotiate access with World Bank officials but this process is likely to take at least several months.’ Senator Lugar’s staff continues to press the World Bank and GAO to begin this report during the first half of 2010."

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals may issue a decision at any moment; the fact that the panel of judges

cancelled oral arguments at the last minute and the composition of the panel should signal to the Board that

the World Bank needs to bring itself into compliance and resolve my litigation outside of the court. I am

Appeals for the DC Circuit due to conflict of interest. I would appreciate an appointment to speak with the

Bank's Executive Directors.

To: morten@partikontoret.dk, simon@partikontoret.dk

I am asking the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank to assist in bringing the World Bank into

compliance on the capital markets. I informed the US Congress about corruption at the World Bank, and

was fired in retaliation. I worked for 20 years in the World Bank's Legal Department, and was trying to

bring the World Bank into compliance on the capital markets. The audits of the World Bank do not follow

auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The UK Parliament published two

of my statements about corruption in the international financial system that is about to plunge the world into

a currency

war. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmselect/cmintdev/writev/402/contents.htm and http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmselect/cmpubadm/writev/publicpolicy/m03.htm

I testified for the European

Parliament, http://www.europarl.europa.eu/document/activities/cont/201105/20110518ATT19540/20110518

ATT19540EN.pdf and attach a letter from the Chair of the Committee on Budgetary Control.

Mr. Kofod is on PNOWB's Board, and I am asking PNOWB to play a role in ending the corruption at the

World Bank.

Dear Prof. Sabato,

Please let me know if the University of Virginia is able to play any role in preventing a currency war,

which is 90-95% likely if the press does not begin to play a role in fighting the corruption in the

international financial system. The attorneys general and US exporters are willing to help US Congress in

turning things around. I am copying Jacek Kugler, with whom I have been working for ten years on these

As I explained to you on the phone when we spoke recently, the matter that you are concerned about is outside the remit of the Public Administration Select Committee. The Committee

Therefore, we are not able to help you with this issue.

Ambassador of Kuwait 3500 International Drive NW

Washington DC 20008-3035

Your Excellency,

I have been in touch with the World Bank's membership on rule of law issues that

are threatening the World Bank's credit rating and the stability of the international

financial system. In 2009 I met with Kuwait's Executive Director on the Board of

Directors, Dr. Merza Hasan, and am now requesting Dr. Hasan as Dean of the Board, to

put the matter into mediation. Previous correspondence on this matter is enclosed for your

ready reference.

This matter is before a panel of judges in the US Court of Appeals for the DC

Circuit including Merrick B. Garland, A. Raymond Randolph and Stephen F. Williams.

Judge Randolph decided in Al Odah v. United States that the detainees at Guantanamo

Bay did not have rights under the United States Constitution. Judge Randolph also held in

Hamden v. Rumsfeld that the Bush Administration's military commissions to try

designated "enemy combatants" at Guantanamo Bay were not in violation of the Geneva

Conventions. Judge Randolph also stripped the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear

petitions of habeas corpus from aliens detained by the US Military in Boumediene v.

Bush.

The UK Financial Reporting Council is investigating KPMG's improper audit of

the World Bank. US Congress is holding up the World Bank capital increase until there is

substantial progress in eliminating the effects of retaliation against whistleblowers who

disclosed illegality and corruption. The Senate Banking Committee, which oversees the

SEC, is in touch with the European Parliament. I am enclosing my email updating the

President of Poland's Central Bank and Chairman of the World Bank and IMF

Development Committee, Mr. Marek Belka.

Sincerely,

Karen Hudes

I am forwarding a recent exchange of emails with the UK Parliament. The UK Parliament posted my comment about international corruption. I worked in the World Bank's legal department,

bought a World Bank bond, and am suing the World Bank and KPMG for cooking the books at the World Bank. Yesterday the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit cancelled oral arguments,

scheduled for November 6, 2012.

The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors and Board of Governors are responsible for

bringing the World Bank into compliance before this affects the World Bank's (and US') credit rating and not the controversial panel of judges. I have asked Dr. Merza Hasan as Dean of the

Board of Executive Directors to put my case into mediation.

Dear Fred,

Here is an update on the illegality and corruption that I have been reporting.

An accurate stakeholder analysis http://kahudes.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/board-of-governors.pdf

predicted in 2004 that the rest of the world would rescind the Gentlemen's Agreement for US

to appoint the President of the World Bank. This happened in 2010

40

With the publication of my testimony in UK parliament

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmselect/cmintdev/writev/402/contents.htm

are left out of the equation by malfunctioning of the press.

Right Web picked up my comment on what Robert Zoellick means to the Romney campaign.

See http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Zoellick_Robert

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/the-zoellick-panic/

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the World

Bank was not immune from suit in Case No. 11-7109. Robert Zoellick, the World Bank's

former President, fired me after I attempted to end the cover-up of corruption in a banking

sector project in the Philippines. I bought a World Bank bond and sued the World Bank and

KPMG, the World Bank's auditor, under the securities laws. After the World Bank's 188

members refused Robert Zoellick a second term, Mitt Romney appointed Zoellick as his

national security transition planning chief.

I also warned US Congress that unless there was better Congressional oversight to reign in

US abuse of authority at the World Bank, the World Bank's shareholders would end the 66

year old "Gentlemen's Agreement" for the US to appoint the President of the World Bank.

In a 2007 letter to the Joint Economic Committee, I wrote:

"As the cover-up proceeded, I warned the U.S. State and Treasury Departments about the

possible consequences. A highly accurate stakeholder analysis predicted three years ago

[in 2004] that the World Bank's Board of Directors would take back the authority delegated

42

to the president if he did not respect rule of law at the Bank. The analysis uses modern

game theory to simulate a bargaining process among stakeholders, predicts how they will

shift their positions, and assesses the level of consensus in support of a particular outcome."

The 188 member countries of the World Bank ended the Gentlemen's Agreement for the

US to appoint the World Bank president in 2010.

http://www.imf.org/external/np/cm/2010/042510.htm The World Bank's Board of

Executive Directors selected Dr. Kim as the World Bank's president from a field of three

nominees, including Nigeria's Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, and Colombia's

former Finance Minister, Jose Antonio Ocampo.

Senators Lugar, Leahy and Bayh commissioned a GAO study into corruption at the World

Bank, but the World Bank only stonewalled.

The US Congress is requiring the World Bank to make significant progress in protecting its

whistleblowers before its capital increase may be disbursed under Section 7082 of H.R. 2055,

signed into law on December 23, 2011. The National Taxpayer's Union has a petition about this

corruption at:

http://www.change.org/petitions/tell-treasury-protect-whistleblowers-at-u-s-taxpayer-funded-international-banks

Roughly three-quarters of the American public consistently prefers

that the United States act jointly with other nations in foreign affairs.

I met with the Chairman of the World Bank's Audit Committee in 2009, and the Audit Committee

43

appointed KPMG to audit the World Bank's internal control over financial reporting. When

KPMG did not follow Generally Accepted Auditing Principles and Standards, I met with the

UK's Serious Fraud Office. In 2010 the SFO called the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

I testified before the European Parliament on May 25, 2011,

http://www.europarl.europa.eu/document/activities/cont/201105/20110518ATT19540/20110518ATT19540EN.pdf

and my testimony is on the UK Parliament's website:

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmselect/cmintdev/writev/402/contents.htm

The UK's Financial Reporting Council is investigating KPMG's failure to follow auditing standards.

The UK replaced Andrew Mitchell as Secretary of International Development on September 4, 2012.

The three rating agencies, the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions, and

the International Organization of Securities Commissions are now considering the following

statement of Mr. Pieter Stek, then Executive Director of the Netherlands constituency and

Chair of IBRD's Board Committee on Development Effectiveness:

"In a multilateral institution which should be governed by the rule of law and

high standards of probity the charge of concealment from the Board of Executive

Directors of information relevant to the exercise of its duty of supervising management

and the persecution of the person who brings this to light is extremely serious. If correct,

which I believe, this poisonous cocktail undermines good governance and ultimately the

effectiveness of the Bank in fulfilling its mandate. I shall continue to assist Ms. Hudes in

her efforts to have due process brought to bear, preferably by the Bank itself, on these

issues of governance."

44

Let me know if you want any further information. Dr. Jim Kim, Obama's appointee as

President of the World Bank, has not accepted the DC Circuit Court of Appeal's offer of

mediation. The stakeholder analysis is now predicting a currency war unless the

corruption at the World Bank is brought under control and the World Bank is brought

into compliance on the capital markets.

Scott Pelley's interview with President Obama on the budget impasse with Congress missed other

more significant reasons behind the US credit rating downgrade:

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3460_162-57508978/obama-wont-compromise-balanced-approach-on-budget-despite-gridlock/

A more serious problem is the impasse with Congress on the GAO inquiry into corruption.

Congress is refusing to disburse the World Bank capital increase until there is substantial

progress in eliminating the effects of World Bank retaliation against whistleblowers who

disclosed illegality and corruption

http://www.change.org/petitions/tell-treasury-protect-whistleblowers-at-u-s-taxpayer-funded-international-banks

The corruption at the World Bank was the real reason that China is boycotting the

IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings this week-end in Tokyo.

The press is fueling future more substantial downgrades to the US credit rating and the

certain risk of a currency war by perpetuating the cover-up.

Dear Prof. Reich,

The chief culprit for the downgraded US credit rating is lawlessness and

institutional malfunctioning. The US Congress and US Executive are at

loggerheads in fighting corruption. I am a lawyer/economist who has been

trying to end a Sarbanes/Oxley cover-up at the World Bank ever since the

attached stakeholder analysis predicted a currency war if the US did not comply

with its treaty obligations in the Bretton Woods institutions. I have reported the

governance crisis to the 3 credit rating agencies at the suggestion of a UK lawyer.

The press refuses to cover the problem. However, my testimony to the UK

Parliament is forcing the UK Financial Reporting Council to take an active role

in resolving the problem. I bought a World Bank bond, and am suing under the

securities laws; my oral argument is scheduled for November 6, 2012 in the DC

48

Circuit Court of Appeals. You can read about my case at www.kahudes.net

Thank you for taking my call about a cover-up of corruption at the World Bank.

CBS tried to end the cover-up when David Letterman interviewed the UK's Prime

Minister, David Cameron.

The Annual Meetings of the World Bank and IMF in Tokyo October 9-14, 2012 are

headed for disaster. China is already boycotting the meeting.

http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-10-09/china-finance-officials-to-skip-tokyo-imf-meeting

Start off with the fact that the 188 member countries of the World Bank ended the Gentlemen's

Agreement for the US to appoint the World Bank president in 2010.

http://www.imf.org/external/np/cm/2010/042510.htm The World Bank's Board of Executive

Directors selected Dr. Kim as the World Bank's president from a field of three nominees, including

Nigeria's Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, and Colombia's former Finance Minister,

Jose Antonio Ocampo. Dr. Kim took over from Robert Zoellick as President of the World Bank

on July 1, 2012. But Dr. Kim has not ended the cover-up of corruption, currently under

investigation by the UK Financial Reporting Council. Andrew Mitchell, the UK's former

49

International Development Secretary, lied to the UK Parliament about the cover-up. My

testimony is on the UK Parliament's website:

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmselect/cmintdev/writev/402/contents.htm

The UK replaced Andrew Mitchell as Secretary of International Development on

September 4, 2012. Senators Lugar, Leahy and Bayh commissioned a GAO study into corruption

at the World Bank, but the World Bank only stonewalled.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Karen_Hudes/china-financial-reform_n_1191600_127701808.html

The US Congress is requiring the World Bank to make significant progress in protecting its

whistleblowers before its capital increase may be disbursed under Section 7082 of H.R. 2055,

signed into law on December 23, 2011. The National Taxpayer's Union has a petition

about this corruption at:

http://www.change.org/petitions/tell-treasury-protect-whistleblowers-at-u-s-taxpayer-funded-international-banks

Roughly three-quarters of the American public consistently prefers

that the United States act jointly with other nations in foreign affairs.

I met with the Chairman of the World Bank's Audit Committee in 2009, and the Audit

Committee appointed KPMG to audit the World Bank's internal control over financial

reporting. When KPMG did not follow Generally Accepted Audit Principles and Standards,

I met with the UK's Serious Fraud Office. In 2010 the SFO called the US Securities and

Exchange Commission. I testified before the European Parliament on May 25, 2011,

http://www.europarl.europa.eu/document/activities/cont/201105/20110518ATT19540/20110518ATT19540EN.pdf

50

The American Society of News Editors is also informed:

http://kahudes.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/press3.pdf If the cover-up of corruption

does not end, there is a 90% chance of a currency war, predicted by the same stakeholder

analysis that predicted an end to the Gentlemen's Agreement in 2004. That stakeholder

analysis is at http://kahudes.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/board-of-governors.pdf.

A UK lawyer also advised me to inform the credit rating agencies. The US credit rating is

now also at risk.

I am suing the World Bank and KPMG under the securities laws. The US Court of Appeals

for the DC Circuit is scheduled to hear my case on November 6, 2012 if Dr. Kim and the

World Bank's other shareholders refuse the Court of Appeals' offer of mediation. Other

documents are on my website, and I am happy to answer any other questions.

To the Audit Committee:

The Audit Committee's mandate includes the adequacy of governance and

the Bank's controls. The Audit Committee has been requested tomorrow to

approve hasty recommendations on a far-reaching restructuring of the Bank's

Institutional Integrity Department ("INT"). The work of the Volcker Panel

was predicated upon terms of reference that did not include INT's

regrettable practice of intimidating staff who report misconduct to the

Board, as evidenced in the ongoing cover-up to the Board of the Bank's

supervision mistakes on the Philippines Banking Sector Reform Loan.

Insofar as the proposed advisory panel would supplant important

functions envisaged for the Advisory Council established pursuant to Article

V, Section 6 of the Bank’s Articles, it is my opinion that the Audit

Committee, if it is inclined to accept the recommendation before it at

tomorrow's meeting of the Audit Committee, must refer the proposal on to

other Board members in order to obtain the requisite votes for amendments of

the Bank's Articles.

Subject: RE: World Bank Governance

Dear Mr. Roberts,

Thank you for your email concerning governance issues at the World

Bank, which I received 3/30/2008 at 10:00 a.m. EST. As you are aware, the

recommendation of the Volcker Panel that the Institutional Integrity

Department (“INT”) no longer be given responsibility for investigating

whistleblower retaliation cases was not followed. Staff currently have the

right to report misconduct directly to multiple authorities within the World

Bank, including the Board. Instead, under the proposed whistleblower

protection policy, staff “generally should” report suspected misconduct

either to their managers or to INT.

On February 26, I asked the members of the Board’s Committee on

Development Effectiveness, in the attached email, whether in view of INT’s

unfortunate reputation for harassing whistleblowers, staff should be

prevented from reporting directly to CODE and whether INT’s proposed

advisory board would overlap the responsibilities envisaged for the Advisory

Council established pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Bank’s Articles.

Ten years ago when I was a member of the Human Resources taskforce

under the Strategic Compact with the Board, I proposed reforms to increase

accountability and transparency at the World Bank. At that time, I counseled

55

that change efforts succeed only when 75% of management is ultimately

convinced that the status quo is unacceptable (Email dated June 1, 1998 to

Robert Drysdale, Katherine Tyler, and Alberto Bazzan). The Human Resources

Vice Presidency did not follow its institutional mandate to promote

increased transparency and accountability. Instead, HRS is part and parcel

of a deficient control environment in the World Bank, documented fully by

the institutional cover-up on the Philippines Banking Sector Reform Loan.

Pieter Stek, the former Dutch Executive Director, Chair of the Board’s

Audit Committee and Committee on Development Effectiveness, described my

case as follows:

Karen has bitten into a case of failure of the Bank, harm to a country,

cover-up, failure of evaluation, failure of controls, and threatening

failure of the Board (Audit Committee) to take up the issue. The corollary

is not hard to envisage: the Bank runs the risk of being caught with its

pants down (in an area where it is lecturing the developing world on how to

dress) and the whistleblower (who has not whistled in public) is at imminent

risk of being dismissed, due to failure of the checks and balances in the

Bank meant to protect individuals (the Integrity Directorate, the Ombudsman,

the Tribunal, President (Email dated February 23, 2005, forwarded February

16, 2007 to Vincenzo La Via, Chief Financial Officer, and Fayezoul

Choudhury, Controller)

56

Last week, I asked various US Congressional committees charged with

oversight of the World Bank whether it would be appropriate for the US

Government Accountability Office to assist the Independent Evaluation Group

in the evaluation of the World Bank's internal controls. On March 26, 2008

Ms. Michele Sumilas of the House Appropriations Committee met with Mr. Tom

Melito of the US Government Accountability Office to review this question.

Mr. Chris Armstrong of the Senate Finance Committee is also considering this

question.

In light of OLAF's familiarity with the deficient control

environment at the World Bank, I wonder whether OLAF would care to assist in

helping to formulate appropriate terms of reference for the proper diagnosis

of requirements for whistleblower protection, HRS and INT independence.

Dear Ms. Hudes,

Thank you for your e mail. I recall your raising some of these issues with

57

me when we met. I regret that you have found the work of the Volcker Panel

deficient. As I advised you when we met, the ambit of the Panel's review was

prescribed by the terms of reference under which it was established. The

Panel adhered to those terms of reference. My role as Counsel to the Panel

came to an end shortly after the report was presented to the President, in

September last year.

OLAF is part of the institutions of the European Union. Its existence,

mandate and functioning is established and supervised by the laws of the

European Union. These do not, to the best of my knowledge extend to having

legal competence to pursue the grievances you raise.

You ask that OLAF inform member governments about what you see as a crisis

in governance at the bank. My Director General and I met with a number of

European Executive Directors of the World Bank a few weeks ago to discuss

the Volcker Panel report. At the meeting there was also discussion about

governance issues. My impression was that the European Executive Directors

are well apprised of all relevant issues at the Bank and no further comment

by OLAF is warranted even if it was within our legal competence.

Yours sincerely

Subject: RE: CODE's Oversight Responsibility for Accurate Evaluations and

Reporting of Supervision Mistakes

To the Members of the Board Committee on Development Effectiveness:

The Committee on Development Effectiveness is required to satisfy itself

that the Bank Group’s operations evaluation and self-evaluation activities

are adequate and efficient. It is now proposed that staff should be

prevented from reporting misconduct on evaluations to the members of CODE to

enable them to carry out their oversight responsibilities. Instead, the

proposed whistleblower policy directs staff to report cover-ups on

evaluations to the Department of Institutional Integrity, (“INT”).

Bank staff lack confidence in INT’s independence. The Staff Association

Newsletter reported in a May 2005 article entitled, Staff Want Grievances

Handled with Due Process:

59

“INT has been controversial. Outside watchdog groups and staff have accused

management of using INT to perform punitive investigations on scanty

evidence, or of doing the reverse—calling off a warranted investigation.

Victims have included staff who have revealed accounting or project facts

embarrassing to managers…”

INT’s report to the Board concerning the cover-up of the Bank’s supervision

mistakes on the Philippines Banking Sector Reform Loan was unprofessional.

INT did not correct an inaccurate evaluation of the Bank’s supervision

mistakes on the BSRL, which resulted in a $500 million banking failure,

cancellation of $200 million from the Bank loan, and cancellation of a

similar amount from the Japanese cofinancing. Instead, INT sought to

discredit me through a vicious ad hominem personal attack that did not

address any of the issues that I had raised. Mr. Zutt has refused my

February 1, 2008 request for INT to inform the Executive Directors of INT’s

mistake (attached).

In September 2007 the former President of the Philippines was found guilty

of plunder and ordered to repay the commissions that I had tried to prevent

him from receiving for the corrupt sale of government employee pension stock

60

in violation of the conditionality on the BSRL and the banking laws in the

Philippines. The Bank’s supervision performance was rated as satisfactory,

and I was fired on August 1,2007 in retaliation for reporting this internal control

lapse to the Board. The Staff Association tried to inform the Administrative Tribunal

that staff are intimidated from reporting misconduct as a result, but the President

of the Tribunal refused to provide the Staff Association’s attached statement

of support to the other judges on the Tribunal.

It is now proposed to establish a three person advisory board for INT, with

a secretariat in the OPCS unit. I request CODE to consider whether in view

of INT’s unfortunate reputation for harassing whistleblowers, staff should

be prevented from reporting directly to CODE and whether INT’s proposed

advisory board would overlap the responsibilities envisaged for the Advisory

Council established pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Bank’s Articles.
