Altman and Clifford are far from absolved in the B.C.C.I. case. In New York City three criminal indictments against Clifford are still pending. In Washington the Federal Reserve Bank has a pending civil suit against Clifford and Altman, who also face a $1.5 billion civil racketeering suit by First American Bank. Though Clifford will probably not be tried in New York, the other cases are expected to be tough fights for the two men, who are likely to be mired in B.C.C.I. legal proceedings for years to come.
