“Wonder what little remnant of the Empire they plan to go hide on with their filthy lucre sellout money ? Some safe hidden little tropical island somewhere ??” Excellent summation of the consequences of their greed, ambitions and treachery. It’s a function of their egomania that they are blind to the sword hanging over their own heads.
“Filthy lucre”......haven’t seen that for quite a while but it is entirely apropos in this case...... :0)
