Re: Of course it's legal
This reminds me of a conversation I had last weekend, before this story hit the news. A relative investigates fraud for a living. They've been doing quite a bit of work with authorities in Nigeria. The customer recently commented that as far as they could see London appeared to be the world centre for fraud, "take the case of former Minister XXX of our then government. He now lives in London and lives like a millionaire. He's never had a proper job, outside politics in Nigeria, where he never earned that fortune. Now we can't touch him and can't get anyone in London to investigate where all the money has come from."
