Houston Richards is east as Gina's younger brother but just what his status is it is hard to determine.

This load of debt, which it was hoped would soon be lightened by the receipt of German reparations, at length became top heavy. Speculators began to sell francs "short" in anticipation of a decline. The conservative investor, to avoid losses, sent his balances abroad, and a "flight of the franc" ensued...
