INAPPROPRIATE CORNER: Another one from Dan Holdsworth - how NOT to be a capitalist pig

Jon,

It would appear that the game of being a capitalist pig is not as easy as it might first appear. After all, currency traders are ignorant Gaia-abusing scum; not as if they are clever or anything? Unfortunately for Greenpeace, it appears that currency traders are just the teensiest bit smarter than Greenpeace activists...

It would appear that some busy bee in their headquarters speculated on the Euro remaining weak back in 2013, and was most mightily surprised when it didn't stay weak (apparently these Eurocrats are a tricksy
bunch). Surprised to the tune of 3.8 million Euros, in fact.

So, if you have a Greenpeace tin rattled under your nose in the coming weeks, that's why. hehe.
