Some research about the Holy See, enjoy anons.
So I was reading Q1021:
List the estimated wealth of religious organizations. Billions. Vatican bank. $229B. Board of Superintendence. Supervisory Commission of Cardinals. Clown connection. 1832 Rothschild loan to the Holy See. Q
Interesting, since I'm multilingual EUanon this seemed to be a perfect job for me to research about this. Here's what I found first.

This link will lead you to an article in German that provides info on what was happening inside the Holy See's IOR (Vatican Bank) Board of Superintendence.
In May of 2016, 2 of the members stepped down from their positions without naming any reason, which is quite odd in that position to be leaving in company. These 2 were Clemens Börsig and Carlo Salvatori.
I'll sum up the history of Börsig, because there are only German sources I could provide, but here's a link with Salvatori's connections.

Open up the full background article and read that bad ass piece of a career.
So, let's get to Börsig. He started his career by serving in the military as a lieutenant officer. Then he studied Mathematics and Economy. When he finished his studies he went on to working formerly for "Mannesmann AG" and after some years for BOSCH.
In 1997 he joined the Executive Board of RWE, which is Germany's 2nd largest energy company. In 1999 he worked for DEUTSCHE BANK AG. 2 years later he became the CFO. This seems to be odd, imho, because in Germany there is ABSOLUTELY no chance at all to get such a position within 2 years. Ask any German for that matter, they'll attest my statement.
In 2002 he additionally became the Chief Risk Officer at Deutsche Bank.
After some controversy in the Supervisory Board a member had to forcefully step down after a court ordered so and Börsig immediately became the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Another quite odd decision-making.
He is also member of the Supervisory Board of:
-
Daimler AG (Mercedes Benz parent company)
-
Linde AG (a formerly German company, partly confiscated by the US at WW2 and just recently the German part of Linde and the confiscated part in Britain re-merged; NOW: Linde PLC)
-
Emerson Electric Company in Missouri (this seems to be odd too, since his involvement had yet been in Europe, mostly Germany)
-
UNTIL 2007: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (A supplier of Europe's leading printing machines, guess for what market specifically? Yeah, the PRINT-MEDIA!)
-
Up until September 2016 he was also Chairman of the Supervisory board of ESMT (European School of Management & Technology)
He's also involved in some social stuff, like funding Universities in Düsseldorf, etc. and culture-related operations.
I'll stop the post at this point and will post the rest of my Vatican Bank research in another post.
