Yes, that floating rig came from Spain in a couple of months, if I recall correctly. It is HUGE :) Re Safra's death - The day his penthouse burnt down was the first time I ever came to Monaco. I had a meeting in Banque du Gothard, in the same building as Safra's home, and was stunned to see thick fumes coming out from where I was supposed to market the fund we were launching :) That was three years ago. Granted that we "gotta watch out for those darn Yankees", as Win says, I feel it was a little too harsh to keep the nurse in jail for three years without even a trial date. Nobody believes it was the nurse who set the penthouse on fire, by the way. It was the period where he was selling his bank, and there was a lot of talk about the Russian mafia. And Lilly Safra is now the richest woman in the world as a result, it seems.
