This is the Jew who would be Prime Minister! Made his fortune by working hand-in-glove with a fellow Jew who was mounting brutal attacks on the NZ$. Can't stop a Jew being a Jew I guess.

FIRST LIFE: As a money trader in London it's speculated John Key was earning $5 million a year - that's $96,000 a week.


He used to work hand in glove with the foreign bankers who led raids on the New Zealand dollar. Now John Key a man who has spent most of his career out of the public gaze wants to run the economy. In a special report, London's Financial Times and the Sunday Star-Times shed new light on Key's former life as a London currency trader.

John Key wants to be running New Zealand by the end of the year because, like all other politicians, "I believe the future of our country can be really great."

But 20 years ago, he worked closely with a famed currency trader who mounted a brutal speculative attack on the Kiwi dollar [the Jew 'Andy Kreigar'] The attack, which has entered forex (foreign exchange) trading legend for its scale, audacity and profitability, prompted Reserve Bank alarm that the currency would collapse.

It was a world in which Key moved easily, swimming with the financial sharks.

...

[Key] formed what was to be a lucrative relationship with 32-year-old currency trader Andy Krieger, based at Bankers Trust in New York, who began putting hundreds of millions of dollars of business through Key's dealing room.

Krieger was the man who a few months earlier had entered forex legend with a massive speculative raid on the kiwi. As Krieger later explained in his book The Money Bazaar, he believed the kiwi was overvalued, and began betting on a fall, selling the New Zealand dollar heavily. Once the currency had found what he believed to be a floor, he bought again at a much lower price, making a profit on the transaction.

...

[Key claims] "I can't remember whether Andy Krieger was buying or selling, it might have been selling with me, but at the time it would have reflected the economic fundamentals at play in New Zealand.
