I'm not surprised to hear the Vikings went where the money was. The epic Beowulf describes Hrothgar as a Danish king who would give generously of his treasure in order to recruit the strongest, fiercest warriors (hence the kenning "ring-giver"). I always thought there were considerable parallels between this and the tech industry, at least when times were good and interest rates low.
