Best in Class

First - some US bashing. Somehow or other, presumably through some sort of computer error, Donald Trump, or an orange facsimile of him, ended up running the most powerful nation on earth. Look, accidents do happen. I'm not here to judge.

Sean II. 28a, 29 & 30

Look nothing. I ask you to keep an eye on your girlfriend’s boss, a person of interest to Her Majesty’s Government, and you start laundering money for him and living in a grace and favour fortress in Buda! Of course I don’t trust you.

Daily Themes

Meetings tend, when you get down to it, to be about management or sales, but even if they're not, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are when I'm available for other people. In fairness, Thursday I'm either on a golf course, or in headphones, but I am available at least to some people.

“Roubles and forints of, shall we say, “dubious provenance” turned into shiny pristine dollars, tax-paid for anything less than 25% is a fantastic deal, Sean. The structure you designed is good. Inventive and complex.

Sean, Act II, 25 & 26

Sean struggled not to blow his cheeks out. There was no way he could handle double the business without finding a way of managing the cashflow. This way - he could pick and choose what went through the business and what was traded directly with the black market.

Note-making
