She sends Bond away, but Bond still follows the trail. Bond is immediately in trouble for doing the worst possible thing for diplomatic relations, and M scolds him. He’s on a mission to find out how a terrorist organization funds their pursuits, and winds up murdering a bomb maker in an embassy in Madagascar. James Bond has recently been promoted to the title of 007, with a license to kill. After meeting with one client, he orders his stock broker to short an aerospace manufacturer known as Skyfleet, betting against the market. Le Chiffre also has a nasty habit of taking his client’s money and gambling with it. Le Chiffre is a banker known for holding the money of the world’s most dangerous terrorists.
