The Godfather; The baptism

What is your favorite movie or TV show scene where time plays a major role?

How do you pay $350 million to a country that is cut off from the global SWIFT banking system? You cannot just wire the money from a bank in Mumbai. (wearing my fintech hat :P) Long before modern banking, Indian merchants used Hundis: an ancient informal value transfer system based on trust. A merchant in Surat would give a note to a traveler, who could redeem it for cash in Persia. This Reliance deal likely uses a modern, legalized version of the Hundi called the Vostro Account system. Instead of US Dollars, India pays in Indian Rupees into a special account in an Indian bank. Iran then uses those Rupees to buy Indian rice, medicines, & engineering goods. It is a Barter Loop"that Chanakya would have recognized instantly. It bypasses the Dollar entirely, making the Sanction invisible cos the money never leaves Indian soil.
