Andy Priston moves to Montreal

   Andy Priston is in his early 30s and has earned something like $100 million. He's not an athlete, actor, politician or do-gooder. Supposedly he works in downtown Montreal.
  He's one of Britain's flashiest financial figures who moved here in 2006 to be with his French Canadian girlfriend whose name I don't know but who I once read owns a restaurant.
  Based on his Facebook page, he's the father of at least two cute little kids.
  Priston is, or was, single-handedly responsible for a major percentage of the Chicago's futures market.
  He runs the Montreal branch of CFT Financials, it was in response to a provincial Liberal tax incentive thing to encourage the relocation of financial services here.
   I have phoned his office about five times over the last few years and was always told that he's out so I assume he actually goes to work every day but I have seen no real evidence of it yet.

  3. Apparently he was a big name in the country he came from but nobody really has noticed him here. He's not an athlete or an actor or a politicians or a do-gooder.
