Is this boss saying he has financial problems? I dont see it, you are part of an organization which makes billions of dollars every year, You are a boss in this organization and you have financial problems? I dont get it why the fuck do you do this thing for then.
Its not smart thing to say something like : "Hey i have a bunch of illegal earned money,hidden somewhere". I don't know if he do or not , but they usually try to hide it best possible way.
