Art by Damien Hirst - The Currency
The Currency of Words
(snatches overheard at The Royal Exchange)
‘Cayman Islands in the '90s
The Wild West
I’m still holding shares
Jersey, Ireland - mid shore
Saudi (what DO people DO there?)
Compounds, very high walls ….
Something in the legislation
Affidavits (not my sweet spot)
What's the court going to say?
Look - it's easy for me
I'm an offshore lawyer
Eyes over everything ….
Security no longer exists
I don't know what will happen
Stressful, really hard
Time sensitive stuff
Work on through - people can't wait
No time for the kids ….
Restructuring - lawyers love it
The judges made a decision
Shareholders ....paying out
Dollars, a few million
That's the way it works.’
Yeah, that's the way it all works.
