The money was, almost entirely, siphoned off to two Gupta-linked entities, Homix and Chivita - both of which have since been exposed as shelf companies.

Controversial global consultancy firm McKinsey, which has also been implicated in state capture, was also doing work for Standard Bank at the time.

These banks are playing the good guys in this case. They allowed the money laundering to happen for +-9 years, only when the heat was turned up on the Guptas then they knew the banks would be investigated and hence closed the accounts
