Charles feeling that it's okay to accept millions in cash as a gift from a foreign politician -nothing to see here, it's okay in their culture don't you know
The thing is, it is absolutely okay to accept millions in cash as a donation to a charity (as this was) if both the recipient charity and the bank accepting it both do the due diligence checks that that kind of transactions require. Once they have done so, and the checks were all passed, the donation is no more problematic than the same sum being transferred electronically.
There’s been an agenda to paint this as the worst thing ever, but that’s a just a case of throwing mud and hoping people can’t see past it. Even the Times that initially wrote about was carefully to say there was absolutely no allegation that there was anything wrong with his transaction.
