"Wink, wink...nudge, nudge"

So, what you are saying is, this person legitimately made his money in opium trade (when it was illegal), and there is nothing further to see here?

BTW, when i said that the Russells made their money in opium, you said that the only thing you could find was on Johns Hopkins. When i post further information, you "pretty much know about that". Am i wrong in percieving a disconnect?

Opium wasn't made illegal until 1914 before then it was perfectly legitimate. And I hold libertarian views that such ventures should STILL be legal.

The only thing I said about Johns Hopkins was that the Russell family did not found it. I could not find any reference to the Russell's providing any funds towards JHU. I never said that I had not heard of the Russell family or their ties to Skull and Bones. The 3/22 line is pure crap as is all numerology. A good class in statistics will show that it is mere coincidence.
