Now their profits are portable and reasonably invisible to the authorities. They can pay off using the PM, or transport it across border - Simples. If they pay over the odds, they don&#039;t care - usable funds are better than locked in funds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dickens had it right - &quot;Portable Property&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
