He's been a bit of an ass making connections like he has but the trade work he does is on the very ragged edge of trade negotiating, think back what trade was like 300 years ago, that doesn't work on civilised scales.... He meeds to keep his personal connections away from his business ones otherwise his integrity will always be called into question
His link's with the Paedo in the states; that's a bit more dubious if I was him I'd be concerned at even a loose association with that guy. I suspect he may have questions to answer there, whether he likes it or not.......All is not well in the House of York!!
