You said it - Marketing sure works when it comes to the CT industry.

Anyway, here is a Conspiracy Theory that I've come up with, but director, jacques, et al, you are welcome to run with it - but remember, it traces back to this post here, just so we can track the marketing.

Ebay owns Paypal and Paypal handles Billions of dollars of transactions per year.

Now look at "Paypal" and "Papal"

Notice a pattern? The Vatican. I wonder whether there is an evil hidden agenda here. Okay, I've seen a few people run with this after googling it.

However, combine this with the fact that credit card processing has been down in the Vatican for the last week and you have the makings of a great conspiracy...

"A stand-off between two titans of finance, the Bank of Italy and the Vatican, has forced tourists to abandon their visits to the Sistine Chapel – unless they have cash in their pockets.

Italy’s central bank has blocked all electronic payments through ATM cash machines and by credit cards in Vatican City following the city state’s failure to fully comply with international anti-money laundering rules.

The incident raises further questions about the transparency of the Vatican’s finances.

Deutsche Bank’s Italian division, which runs a network of cash machines for the Vatican, was refused authorisation from the central bank to continue operating its services from the start of the year. The Vatican is not on the European Commission’s “white list” of states complying fully with international standards against tax fraud and money laundering."

Ahhhh

The Deutsche Bank is involved, as is the Bank of Italy and the Vatican is stuck in the middle - then we have Ebay/Paypal both unaffected by this...

...where to start? - there are so many angles!

I'll leave it to you guys to run with this! Just make sure I get a small % of the royalties when the money starts rolling in off the back of it. Maybe hangthebankers can get this one out to the masses - jacques?
