Dunno why Smokey, but I always feel it's intrusive asking folks about the detail - so will shut the fuck up!!
In a similar vein.. dunno why, but I seem to end up which what appear to be upstanding members of society around who eventually turn out to be something else.
I had a main lawyer years back.. well-known in legal circles and respected. Tho it did appear odd that he seemed to spend most of the year travelling the globe and remember asking a few times when he actually earned some money.
He also has this fetish for expensive suits - he was like a walking Gucci sign.
On hindsight.. there were another few clues. One was when we were chatting in his office and there was a photograph lying on his desk - he glanced at it and smiled. I picked up the pic and it was of a shack in the middle of a jungle with a sign up front with the words "Banco de Con"
I assumed this was something he was working on for his criminal clientelle and never asked.
Next I heard was when all hell broke loose and he was arrested for, at that time, was some financial crime. Then it turns out he was the prime financial "manager" for what was then the biggest robbery ever and had been filtering the proceeds into real estate and hell knows what else all over the globe. The majority of this money was never recovered.
I thought it might be a clue to get a new lawyer cos he was not gonna be around for a while.
He's no longer in jail and last I heard he had insurance companies on his ass trying to claim enormous amounts of money, but with nada chance in hell cos that guy would never talk. He now leads a quiet life and does not seem to have money worries and dines every day at the most expensive places in town. There have been various estimates placed on the current value of his investments from that robbery, but they range widely and between $2billion to $5billion. Either way, he was obviously a sound financial advisor
