I'm still at a loss to see what the backers of Brexit gain.
I can see that they made some money from the drop in Sterling immediately after the referendum result, and from the flurry of take-overs that followed, (ARM being the most obvious),

is maybe the answer.
While the nefarious activities of Caribbean tax havens could result in a boycott from the EU,
even a post-Brexit City of London is to big to be ostracised, leaving a gateway for offshoring untaxed profits for all the Worlds' shysters.
