You sound to me as if you are man who is marching to a different conundrummer. Get in step. Maybe what you need is a condominium. Is a studio apt. a condominimum? Dikshit? For a billion dollars I would be called Dikshit. It always bothered me that the sculptor was named Lipschitz.

The question I have is "What the hell can the U.S. do about it?" Basically they have two options: (1) seize assets (2) imprison corporate officers So long as the assets are outside the US, and the managers don't come back to the US (and therefore can't be imprisoned), all the US can do is wag its tongue. I seriously doubt that the UK would sign on for an invasion of Gibralter. The fact that the US government disapproves of a business conducted on the far side of the world doesn't mean that business has to shut down.
