Pieces of eight

An executive in the leisure boat business explains how to spot a money-launderer in the UAE:

"When your customer's 'accountant' turns up to pay for a new boat with a patch over his eye, a Russian accent and brown-paper envelopes stuffed with cash, you know something's up."

Presumably with a parrot on one shoulder, a hook for an arm and a wooden leg. Arrrr.

The boat industry should talk to Dubai's off-plan property developers and real estate agents: they really know what the money launderers look like.

Also, wanna get an idea of the money laundry in this City? Go to any mall on Friday, and spot any shop who's not doing business. Some of them have been open for years, to no avail. To no legal avail.
