Peter WalkerGUEST
Ben Delo is, um, another crypto billionaire.

He was Hong Kong based for quite some time.
Peter WalkerGUEST
He's now, we're told, back in the UK.
Ben DeloSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I've always been a, a problem solver, and if someone tells me, "No, you can't do that," or, "It's impossible," I see that as a red rag to a bull, as a, a challenge to try and solve it, and I may have been expelled from a few schools as a result.
Doug KriznerHOST
You can find us on Apple, Spotify, the Bloomberg podcast YouTube channel, or anywhere else you listen.
Doug KriznerHOST
Join us again tomorrow for insight on the market moves from Hong Kong to Singapore and Australia.
Doug KriznerHOST

Ros TaylorHOST
Both these men have been living abroad, but they are British citizens.
Ros TaylorHOST
Harborne was in Thailand and Delo was in Hong Kong, although both are now reported to have returned to Britain.
Ros TaylorHOST
What are the rules about donations from Britons living abroad, Seth?
Seth ThévozPANELIST
I mean, this is interesting because, um, it used to be entirely allowed, and actually a sort of dark secret up until the late 1990s was that the parties used to do loads of fundraising in places like Singapore and Monaco and Kuwait and Hong Kong.
Seth ThévozPANELIST
Lord Razzall, the former Lib Dem treasurer, talks about how he used to go to millionaire businessmen in Hong Kong who were all giving money to the Tories, and they'd all been outed on the front page of The Independent as being secret Tory donors.
Seth ThévozPANELIST
And his pitch to them was, "The Tories leak your names to the papers.
Seth ThévozPANELIST
We don't.
Marie Le ContePANELIST
He eventually ended up moving into the kind of crypto space with, um, launching his own company.
speaker_2HOST
Yeah.
speaker_2HOST
It covers Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Iran.
speaker_1HOST
That's a massive footprint.
speaker_2HOST
It really is, but the true connective tissue, like the spine that holds almost this entire sprawling history together-
speaker_1HOST
So set the scene for us.
speaker_2HOST
Mm-hmm.
speaker_1HOST
It's 1842 in Hong Kong.
speaker_1HOST
What is actually happening in the world at this exact moment?
speaker_0HOST
It is.
speaker_0HOST
We are jumping from 17th century Japan to 19th century Hong Kong, pre-colonial Africa, Bolshevik Russia, and beyond.
speaker_0HOST
But, um, I want to set some ground rules first.
speaker_1HOST
That's probably a good idea, yeah.
speaker_0HOST
So moving forward within that exact same literary universe, we hit Tai-Pan, which was published in 1966.
speaker_0HOST
We are fast-forwarding several hundred years from Toranaga's Japan to the mid 19th century.
speaker_1HOST
Right, into Hong Kong.
speaker_0HOST
Yeah, right in the immediate wake of the First Opium War.
Whitney SeiboldHOST
It can look a little off, yeah.
William BibbianiHOST
The, the things, the movies that I think got away with it a lot, actually, were often coming out of, uh, Asia, and the ones I r- remember specifically are from Hong Kong, stuff like The Storm Riders.
William BibbianiHOST
Did you ever see that?
Whitney SeiboldHOST
No.
Chris DePetrilloHOST
Come on.
Chris DePetrilloHOST
Hong Kong.
Chris the BrainHOST
They go there.
Chris the BrainHOST
They're tossing the place.
Chris DePetrilloHOST
Just kind of a ridiculous, you know... poor man set up.
Chris DePetrilloHOST
And over here, this would be the mall that you'd see in the Dawn of the Dead after everybody was in it for a year or so.
Chris the BrainHOST
Yeah, I feel like if I would have had time and I was thinking about it, I would have reached out to our man in Hong Kong, Big Mike Leader, to tell me about this building.
Chris the BrainHOST
I feel like it may have been the same one from Mercenaries from Hong Kong, which of course also had a wonderful parking garage scene ryan campbell just i mean it's gotta be no different
Tom ElliottHOST
There was a case in 1980 or 81.
Tom ElliottHOST
Two Fraser, Malcolm Fraser government ministers, had to resign because one of them had brought a colour television into Australia from, I think it was Hong Kong.
Tom ElliottHOST
I was only a boy at the time.
Tom ElliottHOST
And he didn't declare it, and there was a duty that had to be paid back then because we still made TVs in Australia back then.
Matt SnodgrassHOST
Uh, across now to Asian markets.
Matt SnodgrassHOST
We've got China trading down point one of a percent, Hong Kong down about half percent, the Nikkei trading up point seven of a percent.
Matt SnodgrassHOST
That's all I've got for you for today.
Matt SnodgrassHOST
Thanks for tuning in.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
The noises eventually subsided and I relaxed the better part of an hour before I made myself get out and towel off lest I totally prune myself.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
Flipping on an oversized cotton robe I'd brought home from Hong Kong, I walked out into the cool dark house.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
I called out to my roommate a few times but never received a response.
Steve StocktonNARRATOR
I walked back to her room which was dark with the door open.
