I don’t do crime

But in my field I try to explain to the client my view of the strengths and weaknesses of their position, and what it’s likely to cost if it goes tits up

Then it depends on temperament - FTSE 100 likely to want to cut a deal, oligarch or punchy company like Glencore likely to want to roll the dice

If they roll the dice I just get on with it and have a go - sometimes you win!
