Comment Re:HSBC was laundering money for drug cartels (Score 1) 129

yes, and diamorphine, too.

Back when opium dens were to be found next door to the Old Bailey and off the reception atria of every barrister in London. Often in the same building, too - occasionally you'd even find a room full of very young girls (or boys, if that was your poison). It all came in on the East India Company Docks. Where CANARY WHARF now stands.

Funny, that.

Thus, not over the silk road, which was a trans-Asian caravan route.

The leadership of a profitable company that is looking to improve themselves (and their shareholders' long term interests) looks at it like this.

We have positive cash flow and profits, but we have more people than we need to do our present work. That means we can deploy some of our people to TAKE ON NEW WORK and grow our sales and profits.
