      I’ve only ever met one person from Malta, 20+ years ago at a strip club in Portland. He had a lot of money to throw around, kept buying everyone drinks, then invited some of us and some strippers back to his hotel. We drank some more, did some coke. The next morning I stumbled out of the wreckage to head back to my hotel and found him standing in the middle of a skywalk, wearing just chonies and a bedsheet bandana, talking with his butt like Ace Ventura, flinging sausages he’d swiped from the breakfast lounge, declaring “the great ass gives you sausage!” 🤷‍♂️

      It’s also associated with crusaders- it was one of the last strongholds of the Knights Hospitaliers after they looted everything. Which might’s be part of why

        It’s also got a tax system that treats private jets favourably IIRC. Or maybe it was yachts.

          Most watercraft that are dodging shit are usually registered in Seychelles. I’m sure some are also registered in Malta too, but the VAST majority are Seychelles.
