I think I stumbled upon something interesting.

AI search:

Karen Hudes is a former Senior Counsel and Acting General Counsel at the World Bank. According to official statements, she has not been employed by the World Bank since 2007 and is not authorized to represent the institution in any capacity.

Hudes gained prominence as a whistleblower, alleging widespread corruption and money laundering within the World Bank and other financial institutions. She reported these issues to the Serious Fraud Office and Parliament, sparking an investigation into the allegations.

Key Points:

• Sacked from her senior position at the World Bank in 2007 for whistleblowing on money laundering

• Alleged corruption and misuse of public funds in loans extended to emerging and troubled economies

• Not authorized to represent the World Bank since 2007

• Featured in the documentary series “Open Minds” (Season 3, Episode 13), discussing her experiences as a World Bank whistleblower Co-authored the article “Accountability In Bretton Woods” (2009) with Sabine Schlemmer-Schulte, exploring the role of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) in global finance

Note: The James Beard Foundation, which appears in the search results, is unrelated to Karen Hudes’ work as a whistleblower or her career at the World Bank. It appears to be a separate entity focused on promoting American food culture and sustainability.

🚨A notable study was done in 2012 titled The network of global corporate control. See page 33 for the conclusions reached: https://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1107/1107.5728v2.pdf 🚨

Interestingly I don't even see 'BlackRock' listed, leading me to believe that they play a very sophisticated shell-game, were not as prominent in 2012 (money shifted to them recently in attempt to reduce footprints of other corporations?), or that the study somehow overlooked them...
