Not all that surprising a development when you consider that kowtowing to dictatorial regimes in order to garner financial and political favours is becoming the norm. If I were a SS employee, I'd be making plans to split as well.

If you're into conspiracy theories and have a few hours to spare, check out the 1996 "Money Masters" documentary on YouTube.
