It's no fun being a state governor or even US president. Too much scrutiny and analysis of each and every action. If I had this guy's money and businesses, I would be happy counting the revenues and sending some to the pretty gals but not to the tune of $5500 per hour. If gotten caught by public, then just show the finger and set another appointment.
nyt says that it would have flown under the radar except hsbc thought that the transfer of money from the governor to a shell company was odd so they reported ti to the feds.
