Eh.

He wasn’t the kind of financier that handled accounts, he was the kind that had connections and when you needed a loan knew who could hook you up.

Of course, his real line of work was trafficking children.

    I think it's not that at all actually. If you listen to him, he doesn't understand the first thing about finance. What he did with money was get rich people social connections to the anything from pedophilia to STD drugs to slip to your wife. His financial expertise began and end at blackmailing rich people while using their money to get them whatever fucked up thing they wanted.

    his cover was that of, basically, a matchmaker for cash.

    If Person A needed to finance a project, he had a Rolodex full of stupid rich assholes he could then match them with and get the financing for the project.

    And yes. his real "job" was to set people up with children or whatever else they wanted - and then black mail the ever living shit out of them.
