Watched The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society movie a while back. An interesting historical fiction with some good actors.

There was a Denver connection to the Channel Islands a few years ago. A real estate developer named John Dick, aptly named, got rich off the Denver Tech Center, the first big suburban office park in the region. He bought an old noble pile on Jersey and stashed his money in a Jersey trust. He used to jet friends to Jersey for a blow out summer party. Dick enjoyed explaining he had a seigneur's right of first night for newlyweds.

When his second wife divorced him he fled to Jersey to cut her off without a dime. Her lawyer could not break the trust under Jersey's arcane laws. But, he found another arcane law that allowed the ex-wife to throw Dick into debtors prison until he caughed up the dough.
