Speaking to a former EK colleague of mine over a beer recently, it would seem that amongst his crew several eastern Mediterranean males were not their usual target fixated selves due to a serious lack of cash from one of these investment schemes. When pressed for further info he also mentioned that the FO had money tied up and was no longer able to access it. We toasted to their collective greed and stupidity and rejoiced in the knowledge that in less than a minute there'd be another one born.
