Oh gawd who now? I spent a half hour searching for people I knew in my US time, to make sure they weren't in there. Thank god the closest is the ex-business partner of a friend and a friend whose job it was to know everyone to raise money for her non-profit and whose email did not mention islands.

It's so impressive she still hasn't succumbed to the "have more than $100M, turned into a Death Eater" syndrome that got ... everyone else who has more than $100M. She still seems human, sane, and kind. Such an accomplishment when you're in a bubble that is predicated on your being special.
