Savile Row bespoke tailoring,
Italian shoes
Swiss Watches
high end sunglasses
luxury luggage

top shelf travel, accommodations, and food

We have to present the image that we can, and do, regularly rent superyachts. This is not a Somali pirate operation.

We'll have to steal at least two. One from Turkey, and one from Hong Kong as I imagine the 10% fee we'll get on the first will just barely cover expenses.

Oh yeah, we'll all get guns and spy sh!#
