•"Nathan Mayer Rothschild invested this
$3,000,000 in, gold
from the East India Company knowing that it would be needed for Wellington's peninsula campaign.“

•"no less than four profits:
•i) On the sale of Wellington's paper which he bought at 50 cents on the dollar and collected at par;
ii) on the sale of
gold to Wellington;
iii) on its
repurchase; and
iv) on forwarding it
to Portugal."
