...especially now it is said that Foundation X are effectively on the Gold Standard (c1920s) and have been amassing their fortune for over 100 years (again this dating does put a damper on it being the OITC as even their claimed lifespan is only 60-70 years old)

Just to throw my tuppence worth on to the pile, we're looking at this from our perspective. We're talking about people with noble titles, with heads of state and big business on speed dial. If this were any of the big players, they are all already known entities at these levels, and there wouldn't have been such a lengthy amount of time involved in checking credentials. All the names mentioned as suggestions above already have enough fingers in enough pies that getting getting taken seriously just isn't a problem.
That suggests to me that we're either dealing with a new player, or we've been shown a piece of theatre, and this hansard transcript is really a "Once Upon a Time" opening.

There are only a few possibilities who would content to have amassed that much wealth but all of them are well known to regulatory bodies, masonic leaders and businesses. If such wealth existed it would devalue all existing wealth ergo they would be taken out of this mortal realm.
I conclude that Lord James is being played as some sort of confidence trick or distraction from a more menacing threat which will not be apparent to the general populous.
Who knows though - we'll have to see what more there is to all of this.

James told ZDNet UK that he had not been approached by the UNOITC, and that there were no links between Foundation X and UNOITC.

I like the fact that you feel like Sherlock Holmes...See my username?
Lord James does seem to have put his neck out a great deal and he's got a good background in fraud and finances.
I really think there will be more to this tale before next week is through.

There is however one case where interest would not be an issue on a loan & that is in the Islamic monetary system which absolutely prohibits financial transactions involving interest (usury).

It's too late to dig through this whole topic, but in case no one has mentioned it yet, the OITC sounds like a strong candidate for "Foundation X".

Well, this "group" is not going to move its base of operations to China.
I have a worth idea who the six are, just need to confirm it with a few sources I know. But, I believe, the deal has already been made.
