Interesting about the OITC - if his Lordship has spoken with a straight tongue.
Did he hint at who else it might be? I don't suppose he did. The question remains, of course, what foundation or entity would offer that sort of money on the terms his Lordship appeared to imply - free and gratis and out of the simple goodness of their hearts?
The only entity I know of who has ever offered this before (several times in fact) is OITC. It certainly is a glove that fits, although there may be others I am unaware of. On the other hand, if OITC is an SIS creature (which has been suggested by others a few years ago), then one can see why any association would be denied publicly. It's hard to know either way.
It's also an interesting point Jan that his Lordship didn't utter his comments through simple-mindedness. He seemed to me to be issuing a semi-veiled warning for having been spurned - and if that is the case, then one can assume it is what he didn't say rather than what he did, that underlies this threat (if that is what it is).
Might his comments about money laundering be the actual key to this enigma? Using bullion to launder drug money is a well established laundering technique.
Meanwhile I continue to be struck by the speedy timing of his Lordship's Wiki entry. Someone has gone to the trouble of posting the section about his "Foundation X" 3 days after that happened.
I wonder who and why? Smells like co-ordination to me.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
