I once asked a Russian friend why oligarchs love keeping their money in London and his reply, delivered with a laugh, was enlightening.
He told me: “You know those movies when the Chicago mobsters want a break from fighting each other and go to Florida to relax? London is their Miami.”
Sure, the weather in London may not be as cheery as in the sunshine state. But the services we have offered oligarchs are equivalent to those once used by the likes of Al Capone.
