I don'tknow yet what this is but posting because of the connections:

http://rybn.org/thegreatoffshore/THE%20GREAT%20OFFSHORE/1.ENCYCLOPEDIA/OCCUPY%20TOURS%20LONDON/MayFair/MayFair-ScriptLatest.pdf

...Marc Rich, Peter Mandelson, Mick Davies, Tony Blair, Michael Hintze, George

Bush Snr, Duke of Westminster

  • We’ll meet a host of colourful characters along the way. But PLEASE NOTE: If you’re here today to “bash the bankers”, then you’ve come to wrong place. We’re here to demystify, not vilify. Well, maybe just a little bit.

..

  • Now, we’ve all heard of the “sweetheart deals” that HMRC made with Goldman Sachs and Vodaphone that vastly reduced the tax they owed. A lot of the laws that made these deals possible were written when the last government were in power.
  • Back then, PETER MANDELSON - now Lord Mandelson - famously said that New Labour were "intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich", which may explain why he’s a regular at 5 Hertford Street, the exclusive Mayfair members club owned by the billionaire Reuben brothers. Lord Mandelson now earns a living as the head of a shadowy “strategic advice” company. Many of his clients are fund managers who have offices in Mayfair.

..Of course, “insider trading” is a crime, but there are still many places you can go to get

good insider information by legal means. As we saw around the corner, you can hire a

former politician as an advisor - somebody like Peter Mandelson or Tony Blair.

On Michael Hintze:

..When the crisis first started, short sellers actually made money whilst everybody was

losing it. And in 2008, two hedge funds - Lansdowne Partners and CQS - successfully

used short selling to profit from the collapse of Bradford & Bingley, which had to be

bailed out at a cost of £150 billion. In other words, they drove the mortgage lender to

bankruptcy knowing that the taxpayer would pick up the tab...

Some of you may be thinking: “That sounds like fun. How do I get in on the action?” ..Well, you’re in luck, because today we’re going to explain what short selling is by teaching you how to do it for yourselves!

For this we’ll need the help of MICHAEL HINTZE and somebody to play BRADFORD

& BINGLEY. Short-selling - as oppose to buying long - is where you try and make

money from the value of something going down.

https://supermarkt-berlin.net/event/offshore-tour-operator-a-workshop-walk-by-rybn/

The „Offshore Tour Operator“ is a psycho-geographic GPS prototype that guides the walk of the user through the database of the Panama Papers, in search of the physical traces of the offshore banking within the city landscape.

The dérive will bring the participants outside, in the various neighborhoods of the city of Berlin, in a hunt for shell companies, trust firms, domiciliation agencies and shadow finance offices and agents that are referenced in the Offshore Leaks, Panama Papers and Bahamas Leaks data­ bases. The GPS guides the user through audio indications.

Participants are invited to photograph the entrance, describe the area, observe the letterboxes and intercom systems to check if the name of the offshore entity, revealed by the leaks, is still there, and take notes on the path taken to it, to later discuss the experiences and share collected images.

This workshop is generally for everyone who is interested in the topic: artists, journalists, cartographers, hackers, architects, criminologists, economists. Some basic understanding of the notions of dérives, psychogeography, tax evasion, optimization is welcome, but not mandatory.

What you will get out of this afternoon is a cross-related knowledge of the financial aspects of the city and the places where offshore banking actually happens.

How much you want to bet that these"trust firms"lead to films trusted by idiots? Just speculating of course.
