Just a promise you're not moving blood diamonds." No regulator to call if Kline simply vanished with the funds

"StratPay isn't answering your calls at 11 p.m., is it?" Kline coughed. "Ad hoc means now. It means I'm calling a guy in Dubai who knows a guy in Mauritius who has a live license to touch Kenyan shillings. You're paying for speed, not price."
