I'll tell you what I think is dodgy-est about him though... his exchange rate!
He wants 1.6 USD to 1 sterling. This at a time when the rate is

been well below 1.6 for well over a year or more.
Retail exchange is a nuisance and he certainly can ask for a bit to help,
but 17 cents on the pound is a bit much.
