    There’s the fact London has been the money laundering capital of the world for much of my life

    Had absolutely no idea about this. This is fascinating.

        I very much appreciate the recommendations but also I literally bust out laughing at that first title. They couldn’t make it just a bit longer? Even funnier juxtaposed with the other title by the same author lol

        If I didn’t Google these and know they existed I would have thought this was just straight up classic British humor.
