Re: or the difference (4.00 / 3)

between squandering 80% of a client's capital on "investments" that can never provide a return so that you can pocket the other 20%. One example being million dollar shipping containers rotting in the desert or jungle so that "ministers" could get their "origination fee" or what ever they call it. Formely a developing world phenomena now come to the first world banking sector.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
