“Just now he was on a mind-blowing adventure and it was rapidly spiralling out of control, and this is what he needed to concentrate his mind on.

“The eleven iPhones are set up identical to the Androids. But it’s a whole different scenario as far as the Bitcoin wallets. They all have currency in them, and none has been sent out. I labeled each one with the amount in each of the wallets. It comes to a total of more than four billion.”

“I’m sure, Boss. Four billion in available cryptocurrency.”

“Al boia che lo invita a togliersi il farsetto dice: "Non parlarmi in modo così gelido; già ho la voce rauca./ Non vorrei prendere altro freddo, sai./ Indica il ceppo; qui non ci sono stato mai". E quando quello precisa "Dal lato oriente, signore" Moro dice la su ultima battuta: "Oriente, sia./ Andiamo a spirare; fatto quello, il sonno riposo mi dia./ Qui muore l'allegria di More. E a buona ragione:/ Con la vita fragile delle carne, muore anche il buffone./ Non un occhio saluti questo mio tronco con una lacrima amara. /La nostra nascita al cielo deve essere così, senza paura".”

“Cairo. An inter-services game of cricket was in progress in the lush grounds behind him as Powell made his way through the grand portal of the Gezira Sporting Club. It was a hot and humid day and Powell was dripping with sweat. A fellow officer had given him a lift for part of the way but he had had to walk the last mile. Uniformed Egyptian attendants bowed and guided him through the lobby towards the bar, where he could see his host with a drink already in hand.”
