Why Deutsche Bundesbank had to promise to leave 12...
Ah that reminds me so much of Game of Thrones were this one dude builds all his power and businesses based on an empty vault and a promise of what is inside.

Wasn't that movie only? I read book longer before but I never remembered the empty vault thing...

Xaro was in the books, but his plot was totally different. At no point did he open a giant empty vault.
