- siquick 8y agoBritain has both oil in Scotland, and dirty money flowing through London

- CaptainZapp 8y agoJust as an aside : You're probably much better off to launder your money in London (for example via a shell company owning massively valuable real estate[1]) than in Switzerland, nowadays. Traditionally money laundring was always much less of a problem in Switzerland than supporting tax evasion. With the automatic exchange of information[2] this will pretty much be a non issue in the future.
