I would agree that on the face of it, it looks like Boris is using international law unscruptiously to avoid arrest however, when I see the words 'private bank' I kinda get a feeling there might be more to it than first meets the eye.

I'm not one to cry over a private bank losing out.

But this has all the hallmarks of a John Grisham novel.

Whatever there is to it he was in a position to have a excellent standard of living after playing. With all the prize money and sponsorship over his career.

I think therefore the guy is a tosser.
