SOCO - Now's the time to wake up!

A very Happy Christmas to you too KMcK....and a splendiferous New Year :-)

Good health and happiness to everyone else here too :-)

Yes, this place does have an awkward format but at least it doesn't suffer from O/T threads being pulled after the OP reprimands a complainant saying "bollux to you mate", however kindly it was meant ;-)))

Re Banca Akros, looks like an Italian version of Opale SA to me (loosely associated with Contini according to ML, IIRC) but somewhat higher profile. For me, says a lot more coming in at this level than Snyder selling down. Incidentally, I think Snyder is a lay preacher and certainly has one or two charitable trusts, so it wouldn't be surprising if him and wife Nancy wanted to do something special. I'm not suggesting they are, it's just something I might consider if I was him in his position...which I'm not!!
