Where did the Money Go?

Oh where, Oh where, has my money gone, or where oh where can it be?

So called hedge funds have made a lot of money disappear. Billions and billions have flown away, but what is lost can be found by following the money trail.

Inside information is the key.

Just one example - Lichtenstein bankers use certain offshore jurisdictions to mask the origins of their wealth. To nail a Vaduz banker, you go to St. Lucia for example to the High Court in Castries. Not an easy route but the way to disgorge missing funds.
